I'm slowly getting worried that even though BTC will perform very well this year it will not be because bitcoin is so awesome and its opponents suddenly start to see the light but instead because some large scale shit will happen that brings down the conventional markets. When bad things start to happen they will happen all at once. Yes your bitcoins will be worth millions of dollars but at what cost? at what cost?
The markets should go into bear territory later this year when interest rates rise. However for a crash to happen you need a catalyst like a major war or other political event, or for a major company to fail. It is not inevitable. I hope it doesn't happen even though it might benefit me in some ways. Lots of people will get hurt in the process.
The bitcoin price is dropping fast right now. I think it is because of the 20mb feud. People who don't understand what is going on think that the sky is falling and pull all of their money out. This is fine for me because i am patient and I love a chance to buy low. When this thing is resolved expect the price to shoot back up.
Former NSA intelligence analyst John Schindler says a senior NATO official warned him, "we'd probably be at war by the summer, if we're lucky it won't be nuclear."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUYx6kLZeK4Also, some Texan dude from Ixia said in CyCon last week that there will be a major cyber conflict event this year with human casualties.
All this in alignment with Jade Helm, NATO military exercises, California drought (possibly geoengineering) and chemtrails appearing as far as in the sky of eastern Europe lately.
If bitcoin's price was to go to the Moon again then I'm pretty sure it would correlate with some other grand scale events.
