I'm hoping that bitcoin will not below $7,000, someone says the behind of this bitcoin down price is the Mt.gox I don't know if it is true or not, but I still believe in bitcoin and will recover soon.
I don't think it's just Kobayashi who can be hold responsible for the actual price decline. But he is probably one of several factors for sure.
Regarding the price, to me it looks like we could go below $7k. Yesterday we were as low as $7260 (Bitfinex) and are now bouncing a bit. But these are all weak bounces imo, and just some profit taking from the shorters side and some accumulating by whales and retailers who know what game is being played here.
