Warren is just being realistic, what does bitcoin produce? As long as everyone b uying a coin expects to sell it higher to the next person then its rat poison. Isn't this what you also do when dealing in shares @murchr? People don't buy financial instruments to consume but to sell at a higher profit(which is a noble goal). The shares you have you don't consume unlike economic goods which people consume and thus they try to maximize the utility they derive therein. Also bitcoin is quite useful apart from being just a speculative venture. People buy bitcoin s a store of value, for example. And also for money tranfer across borders Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.

Tradingview is more of 'Facebook', but their charts are clearer with more tools. So, your current charts are subject to scrutiny?

In the mean time I expect bitcoin to fall further and target downwards of $8500, $8100 and probably $7700. The high of $9800 should be maintained for some weeks to come. My Elliot tells me we are in wave three, after a wave two 8,800 and one @ 9,700+. ABC was left back at the lows of 6k Could you provide a chart for comparision?

Expecting Bitcoin to find a bottom at 7740 - 7530s. Thereafter it should rebound and target a move upwards of $10000. Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.

It will bottom around 7500 and the uptrend will resume. I still dont think April was a bull trap because most alts had bled dry at that time. In my opinion, this is just a correction to a market cap of around 320billion -330 billion and the uptrend will resume. I also noted that platform cryptocurrencies will be the deal this year, not just coins. Platforms are the next big thing like Zilliqa, IOStoken,Cybermiles, Ontology, Loom Network etc. Judging from the performance of platforms in April, I can comfortably conclude that is where the smart money will go because they outperformed the market that month. A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.

Crypto due to it's decentralized nature has no regulatory bodies and hence is easily manipulated by the largest stakeholders(currency owners, exchanges and miners). This is hot fire you're playing around with. I hope it's money you can afford to lose.

If ARM cement with land, equipment, emoloyees, cement in shops is falling down the cliff without signs of bottoming, how about cryptos which are not backed by any assets or sovereign power.

Bitocin. The downward correction is over at $7400. A move to above $8600 will be good confirmation. Expect a rebound to targets $10,000 or $10830s Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most.

You lost me when you moved to applying the wave theory to socialnomics, health, dressing and now crypto currencies Life is short. Live passionately.

This is hot fire you're playing around with. I hope it's money you can afford to lose. I wish you knew what you are talking about! NO ONE manipulates large markets. NO ONE has that capacity to do so. Research. Here we go. The standard response by a crypto trader when their currency is questioned is to assume the critic has done zero due diligence and dismiss them. I'll have you know that I've been following Bitcoin for years and the manipulation is there in the following ways : 1. Miners simply stop mining when a currency falls to a price below what it costs to mine. This causes supply restriction and the price quickly bounces back to profitability after that 2. For the entire history of crypto, there has always been a dominant exchange converting the majority of the currency in circulation. Right now the dominant exchange is Coinbase and they are notorious for making their system throw trading errors during market panics to restrict demand and prop up the price. Also there is no crypto insider trading law so it's easy for operators of a big exchange like Coinbase to examine trading behavior on their platform and trade based on that information 3. The top 1000 owners of Bitcoin control up to 40% of the currency. It's very easy for them to trade large volumes with one another to prop up the price when necessary
