I'm trying to get verified to 7k daily on poloniex, but it's been three weeks and still pending.
Sending money through narrow straws gets old fast.
On a positive note, BTC is only a little over $300 removed from the lower end of JJG's prediction of 3-5k. I'll be the first to admit to being skeptical... and I'll be the first to happily eat crow for lunch when (not if) it hits 3k. +1 for JJG
Thanks CleanSlate..
I think that I have been rounding the $3k to $5k price range regarding the next bubble (post 2013) because that price range seemed to have a decent amount of additional value beyond the long standing 2013 ATH of $1,163. So $3-5k seems to be a kind of decent bounce point.. to pump it there and then to take profits from there.
The real world actual dynamics tends to play out differently in several ways than anticipated - sure some factors are kind of within the realm of expectations, but really some of the specific dynamics of some of the pumps have been surprising to me - and could possibly cause bitcoin to play out in a bit more bullish manner than what had seemed reasonable
I mean until recently going beyond $5k in this pump had not seemed reasonable to me (and still seems to be a bit on the high side), but the unreasonable status of the combined market cap of the other coins causing almost $90billion in value "on paper" could cause such a overshooting of BTC expectations even beyond the normal expected unexpected overshooting... hahahaha. .. a riddle.
The riddle is that all these cryptos play off of each other and kind of pump together.. and probably the pump of the alts help to camouflage bitcoin to some extent.
Even though we have so much upwards price momentum making $3k seem easy peasy, $4k seem reasonable and $5k a kind of longer shot within the range, no way am I going to count any eggs before they are actually hatched....
At the same time, at this moment, the momentum seems to be against the bears.. and the trend is your friend and the bears are seeming to have quite a few difficulties providing us with a meaningful correction.. despite dumping pretty decent quantities of coins, and the price continues to bounce back up, trickle up and even shoot up..
They don't have much control and the exponential portion of the curve could still be at its early stages which could cause even a bit more than any of us really believe to be realistically possible.. that is the metcalfes networking effect. Here's one post on the topic, but there are others, too:

Even though $2,000 was breached less than a week ago, it is seeming less and less realistic to even get a reasonable 25% correction down to that level or below...
On a personal level, I really would like to have a decent correction.. but I can also live without it too.. and just suffer with everyone else who wished they would have bought more or had not sold as many because I have been taking some measures and kind of able to maintain my stash at 90% BTC... which is giving me more and more dollars stacking up (and feeling like not being used), the higher and higher the price goes.
