Disclosure: I am SHORT BTC
We are crawling down, but not without a fight. So many people don't give up the chance to get "cheap coins"
I find the knife catching quick and hard. Cats bounce as high as where they were dropped.
I don't blame them though. I have no doubt that when this bear run is over, and the community gets some technicals sorted out, we really will start to head towards that moon.
Disclosure:
If you are short Bitcoins, despite how well your trade performs, there is a good chance of the exchange you are shorting on (Bitfinex/BTC-e) going down and taking all your capital with it.
It seems that this protocol issue 'unique to MtGox, has 'spread'. Bitstamp and BTC-e are now 'affected'. I say that there is going to be one hell of a shit-storm ahead and a lot of people are going to be much poorer one way or the other by the end of it.
Either that or in February of 2015 we will all be able to look back at the events of this month and think, "If only I would've been able to predict just how high the price would be today..."
