So bulls don't qualify for a serious discussion or what?
Not saying I'm bullish right now, but ironically, those who wish to hear only what please their ears doom themselves not be taken seriously.
There has been really big volume on every major exchange when the market bottomed at 7th of December. Also, it turned up slightly above the level where market found support at first major correction of this rally, which was at 20th of November.
Latest development is showing us that there is huge potential for Bitcoin in the future, and there is enough of investors who would like to take the advantage and buy cheap coins ahead of other investors buying it low. So the question is what price is cheap at this stage. It's the price where bulls are getting stronger than bears, and we've seen two times lately that this level starts somewhere around/above $500. Of course this guarantees nothing, but indicates enough I think.
Unless there is really big bad news for Bitcoin, it's pure nonsense to wait to see Bitcoin below $200 (as I seen few to suggest that), in my opinion. It's like waiting to see the price below $20 after April this year.
As long as I'm making more coins when the price is falling, I don't really care where the price goes. But remember, that too much of skepticism isn't any better than too much of optimism. This especially applies for Bitcoin, and many people had already lost enough of money/opportunity before realizing it.
