EPTFeels like the entire interest is from investors rather than "believers". Right now I bet a whole lot of big boys shorted this shit and are reaping heaps of money at the moment on the new futures trading.
Dip still going I think,

Pretty wild 24 hours. My investment in Ethereum was at 1300 euros yesterday evening, 800 this morning, back at 1150 around lunch, now back down at 900. I tried selling when it was at 1100 earlier this week but using Kraken is near impossible since Bitcoin blew up, site constantly goes down. I suppose the lesson here is to never invest more than like 1% of your savings, if only for your own sanity lol. | ||

I think the price will drop to 25-35% of the peak for most cryptocurrencies. | ||

I just don't see where the value is. I get that there's a limited quantity and that the blockchain is useful but neither of those things necessarily equate to value imo. | ||

bitcoin is not going to serve its purpose as a currency and it doesnt have any value so theres pretty much no other reason to keep it imo. | ||

It just wasn't ready for the massive influx of transactions And it might take months and years before the transaction cost especially is brought down and it can serve practical purpose and challenge fiat You're basically either speculating Or betting on the future and how the world will change and bitcoin develop | ||

It's so inherently stupid that unless they change it to a less wasteful generation or should be banned globally due to its inherent damage to the environment. | ||

dont worry if its a currency or not. people use it for different things. just find your use case. if you dont have a use case for it its not for you. also buy the dip, not a bad move. | ||

I don't know where the other 20% is coming from, but there is no oversupply of energy in China. | ||

The public isn't that much into cryptos yet. Most people say its a hype and that is has no value,a temporary hype just waiting to blow over. Only a small percentage of the public is buying and holding bitcoins. And if you look at the chart then now could be fase 2, instutional investors entering the market now that there are futures. Maybe not only to invest long term,but also in trading the market itself. I don't think bitcoin will completely crash,at the end of the day there is only a limited amount of coins available and the market wont crash when there is no one selling. You can see how fast it shoots up again once the selling has stopped. the market is still trying to find a good price at which it can be traded. | ||

Segwit will get implemented fees slashed, if people will keep believing with the big players coming in and wide trading available anything below 100k would be a bad sign | ||
