Must be the same kind of people that believed it would get to 50k back when it was were a few bucks.
It seems more like a beenie babies situation where it seems everyone is following it closely and buying into to the point where either it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy or it crashes and burns hard because everyone has placed the same bet.
There are literally no bears in the market to correct and stabilize it, just a bunch of stalwart newbs 'hodling'. What happens when it finally gets a proper test? Flash-crash.
The problem is that there is no stability, and it rose FAR too quickly.
I don't even think bitcoin is that great, but there are definitely bears in the market. It's a tug of war between the margin longs and shorts. Everytime the margin longs get too aggressive, the shorts come in, borrowing as much bitcoin as possible in an attempt to liquidate the longs. Billions are trading daily in this game, it's a serious business.
