It's going to keep dropping for a long time too because the Mt Gox hackers now that they know about the bounty are probably cashing all the way out in a panic.

When hundreds of thousands of Bitcoins are stolen then imagine what it could do to the price if someone decides to sell just 100,000 Bitcoins over the course of a month.

Bounty?? I haven't been in /r/Bitcoin for a few weeks (BitShares obsessed :P) so I'm not totally up to date on whats happening.

wait until Ethereum opens up trading of their vapor token with multiple gateways open around the world...perfectly timed after bitcoin loses a crap ton of value.  *takes off tinfoil hat*

I read somewhere that hackers hacked into the owners computer (of Mt Gox) and it was him who stole the money.

Unfortunately going all into BTSX does not protect against a fall in BTC.

Edit: I just remembered that 80% of BTSX volume is in CNY, not BTC, so maybe you are protected:

We have bitUSD! We don't need to cash out even if we are bearish.

Majority of my holdings are still in BTC. I'm not worried about the price drop at all. This is just the natural ebb and flows of Bitcoin. I would guess it'll go lower, but keep in mind Bitcoin's MASSIVE network effect (which is growing every day regardless of price). That's the main reason why I'm still long term BTC.

I think this price decrease is from Ethereum selling off some of their coins as well as merchants converting BTC instantly to fiat.

This is pretty much what I've been hearing for the past 6 months. Bitcoins network effect is really [all] cryptos network effect in disguise. Everywhere bitcoin is used, other cryptos can easily be added with only minor tweaks. Bitcoin laid the infrastructure and every other crypto will pick up the torch when it's dead.

BTC is the index of crypto. If a few coins cause the index to go down then the index causes all the coins to go down. Also, the amount of money it takes to cause a downtrend like this for as long as it has been happening is too high to be contributed to one thing.

I moved a substantial allocation from BTC to BTSX when BTSX listed... but I'm too old to have all the eggs in one basket.

Well played!

All my crypto eggs are in BTSX but I've still got 85% in stocks and fiat so it's not like I'm losing any sleep.  8)

Now this is interesting... I've been buying BTC through the drop.

Going to buy bitBTC instead. Why not?

I've begun divesting equity positions and am stepping into a short position.

This time around I'm using a novel approach via the inverse ETF's (SPXS, etc.). Getting lazy in my old age.

Point of my rambling is that if any of you are have substantial allocations in equities it may be time re-evaluate, take some profits and put on a few hedges.

Market could keep running, and probably will for a while yet, but at this point I'd rather have some of my profits secured than risk the exit rush.

And guess where those profits are going... ;)

That's it!

I forget it like every 15 minutes that there is bitUSD and bitBTC.
