I saw. It was fully eaten

but... but... next difficulty is like 15 million!

Let me call the worst bearish scenario I can think of.
Let's suppose all miners crap themselves and start dumping.
Let's suppose difficulty drops to 10 million because of some miners quitting the whole bitcoin mining thing (like it happened at block reward halving time last December).

Woudn't a 10 million difficulty sustain a price of at least 100$? 50$?

Also there are at least two retail markets that exclusively rely on bitcoins to function - one is selling drugs online and one is selling BTCs to people who can't directly access western currencies. Like it or not these markets are established since 2+ years by now. As long as they keep thriving the fiat value of BTC cannot drop to zero.

Difficulty doesn't support price. Difficulty doesn't lead price. Why the hell would it? Have you checked out how the 2 variables behaved during 2011 and 2012?

The only relationship is that the price leads difficulty (minus more efficient mining technologies like ASICs).

In 2011, difficulty topped out two months after the price did:

No, more like up was here..

^ LOL

So, what now? Another consolidation period with no volume? How long this time? A fortnight? 6 weeks? followed by a final rally just to have it spoilt by a dumper on a whim? I think that scenario would be too sickeningly boring to be likely.

"Wait and see" is over -- consolidation is pointless. Screw stability. Buy and laugh in the dumpers' faces.

That's the problem with a currency based 95% on speculation. Nobody wants to buy any if there isn't money to be made.

Another treat, this one from Alexa:

Cat or finger?

Did somebody dropped something on gox when coinseeker entered the forum?
