The only reason to buy bitcoin, is the thought of selling it for more at a later date. I think we've got all the bag holders in now. Time to liquidate.
I think it's more likely that we stop within a whisker of 10000. But is that the forks added up or just legacy BTC ?
I wonder what % of naysayers are people dealing with the FOMO by convincing themselves and others that it's a scam, bubble, tulip ....
It just seems like now is a good time that all those hedge funds/VC funds that bought 100s of thousands of bitcoins are going to flood the market any day now. Especially since there seems to be a huge amount of buyers right now willing to cash them out. They've made a good return so far and they have to think...are they going to be able to sell if bitcoin goes to $50,000? Who'd they sell to when the market cap gets to $1 trillion? Who'd buy at $50k per coin?
I believe bitfinex lets you short at something like 3-1, but it's been years since I looked into it so don't quote me.
