Some thoughts:
- For the google Cryptocurrencies are inevitable, why have not developed any? Surely it would be much used, what are they waiting for?
- Bitcoin continues to be increasingly accepted in small businesses over the world.
- At the same time will emerging new national currencies which will be distributed to the population of each country.
-
- When a "cycle of manipulation" ends, another begins!
- For now BTC continues a false "rise" to values close to 750/800.
- Soon will come the fall!
- I'm studying how it will fall, but should no longer be as I expected.
- At this time I believe that Bitcoin (BTC) can never be used as currency. Can not be compared or used as is done with the USD or EUR! Other digital currencies can. Will arise one or more that will be used, but never BTC.

My position:
- Bearish

- Poloniex Loses 12.3% of its Bitcoins in Latest Bitcoin Exchange Hack


Some thoughts:
- For many, Bitcoin is associated with improper activities. (Black Market and the huge rip in MtGox) How can it be considered a good medium of exchange, secure, anonymous, etc after so many scandals?
- The big market manipulation is almost done.
- Fear and doubt are getting bigger!
- Something must be done to restore confidence and stop the manipulation. (It will be done!)
- Because many have lost Bitcoins, will be required that something be done to discover the track and the guy who has stolen bitcoins. (the anonymity of Bitcoin will eventually fall.)

- Before falling below 550, will have a false increase.
- The Bitcoin now is in its short climb up to 750/800. Then begin their fall!
- The fall may take more days than I was expecting.
 

My position:
- Bear

Week 9

I have not had time to do the analysis of week 9.
But everything continues according to the analysis of the week 8. After this small rise, the fall will be to very low values​​. I still can not tell if it will last four weeks or more. In next weekend I'll post new analysis.

My position:
- Bear

Week 8 breaking events:
- There is talk about insolvency in MtGox, comparing the company to now-bankrupt online gambling operators.
- ATMs continue to be developed and are coming in the big cities.
- The regulation of BTC is something increasingly talked about and desired. (while watching the greatest manipulation ever in BTC.)
- How some banks see BTC:
JP Morgan: “As a medium of exchange, unit of account and store of value, it is vastly inferior to fiat currencies.”
Wells Fargo: “Wells Fargo appears to be interested in being an innovator in cryptocurrencies, but, as the title of its summit suggests, it has concerns about future regulation in the United States.” “The venture capital firm has invested in bitcoin over the last year, providing funding for Coinbase in several different rounds…”
Silicon Valley Bank: “Right now the bank is actively involved with bitcoin business, but not proving storage services. Instead, the bank’s role appears to be as an ACH wire transfer provider.”


Some thoughts:
- As I said in week 6, there is a possibility of bitcoin climb up to the $ 750/800 and then fall!
- In short, there should be a small rise and then a fall. And this fall should be strong.
- I also believe that this will be the final fall.


My position:
- Bear

- In the next days BTC should go up to 750/800 approximately and then drops to 500/400

My position:
- Bear

Exactly!

It is a possible truth behind that statement!

More opinions please!

- Bitcoin will hit the $10,000 because the U.S. economy will collapse soon!
- And in the next 3-4 years will probably reach $100,000.

Please comment these two sentences above.

Week 5 events.
- The appearance of more companies to accept BTC did not affect the market!
- A week full of many uncertainties! Bitcoin needs more trust!

- "What really moves this market is the trust and the fear!"
- “We are living in historical times!”

Hi MatTheCat,

Week 4 events.
- For many countries and banks still lacking regulations for BTC.
- More companies appear to accept payment in BTC.
- Great publicity about bitcoin in the world press.

  - Chinese New Year begins Jan. 31
  - Companies currently offering services must end services by the Chinese New Year, a weeklong holiday that begins on Jan. 31

- Bitcoin remains very manipulated. MtGox for example has been used to manipulate the market.
- Most bitcoins are, in fact, in the hands of a very few people.


My position:
- It's time to wait until the end of the week!
- But my position remains bear!
