My guess.

It will stabilise just below 10K for a bit then take another big hit.

The chart tells the story.

Base line is between $4k and $5k.
This will hurt.
But not me....directly.

A few interesting articles that should be sending a wakeup call to authorities and users alike.

Bitcoin mining consumes more electricity a year than Ireland

Billions of video site visitors unwittingly mine cryptocurrency as they watch

Bitcoin: $64m in cryptocurrency stolen in 'sophisticated' hack, exchange says

Ads don't work so websites are using your electricity to pay the bills

And add to this intentional "cryptojacking" the many sites that have been hacked so that visitors and site owners are inadvertently running mining scripts. The symptoms are apparently slowed computer response and increased CPU usage.

Those are good pointers Peter.

The technical scaling of Bitcoin and distributed services like this will remain a problem. I know my GPU cards which I used for mining in the early days were the highest power consumers and heat generators in my systems.

There is another instability worry on the new cryptobubbles that is overlooked. Experience driving market risk.

The founders are often young highly intelligent people with great ideas however there ability to scale a market and business can produce some wrinkles. I am generalising which is rude but many of them don't think of it as a long term program as they think like repeat entrepreneurs.

Can you imagine anyone (outside of Mr Ratner) doing or saying something like this around his own business.

This is where the maturity of an established profession supports the business far better.

Yesterday I watched an interview of some crytocurrency guru, and he had a novel warning for people before they 'invest' in Bitcoins. Although the guru was wildly bullish on crytocurrencies, he thought that Bitcoin was old-fashioned compared to next generation cryptocoins, like Ripple and tenX. In his words, "Bitcoin is the AOL of cryptocurrencies".

Nobody cool wants to use AOL anymore, and similarly cool people will be switching from Bitcoin to Ripple, etc.
