For those who are unaware FreeBitcoin has a prediction market that mostly covers sports, but also asks a few-end of-month price predictions.
This bounty goes to whoever gets closest to the end-of-month exchange rate for Bitcoin and USD.
I'll also zap everyone who says anything interesting about short-term expectations for Bitcoin vs fiat exchange rates.

My guess is $36.5k at November end.
BUT...
I except higher prices (around $40k or more) at the middle of December, because of FOMC meeting on 13th December, and most probably interest rates will remain the same.
No matter if rates are low or high, if the market / FED monetary politic is "predictible" =>risk on assets price are jumping (sometimes exponentially)

It sure looks like your crystal ball is working.

My guess $35K at month end.
reply
That's what I guessed too. When in doubt, trust the Efficient Markets Hypothesis.
reply
End of the month is a bit myopic in the scheme of things but I’ll say $40K
reply
That's similar to how I felt.

Considering shitcoins are rallying right now I am going to say 31,500

Two votes for a price decline
At some point all this new money printing has to lead to a price increase.
reply
Yes but when I see eth ripping and even crazier xrp and other shitcoins ripping I just assume we are due for a sizeable pullback to wash out the undue silliness. I don't really care either way to be honest. Actually a pullback would be nice, I have been struggling lately to stay on pace to meet my year end stacking goals. Good thing I front loaded a lot of it early in the year.
reply
Interesting. I don't pay any attention to the altcoins. Are people just yield chasing as conventional investments lag?
reply
Just the regular crypto traders with broken paradigms who believe because bitcoin rallied all the other coins must go up as well. So they put on a ton of leverage and try to chase gains in the altcoins. It's the most fiat, highest time preference thing one can do but it some ways I don't blame them as pushing further and further out the risk curve is an imbedded incentive of the current system.
I am not a fan of Pomp but I did listen to his episode with Lyn and she talked about this as well.

Probably 33000 around!

Why a decline?

I sometimes miss bitbet.us by Mircea Popescu. Biggest problem - it was fully custodial. But parimutuel betting is interesting approach.
reply
I'm still getting used to not knowing the odds in advance. The bonus they give early bets is a clever way to keep everyone from waiting until the last minute.
reply
I forgot about this post and in the name of fairness I will no longer be accepting guesses.

When you hate CSS with passion :)

bitcoin could go up, down, OR sideways against fiat in the short term. My hunch? One of those three will happen.

It sure does, but it's been around a long time and does a lot of business. If it is a scam, it's a pretty long con.

I've shouted out ezkyis before about this prediction market. It uses a very similar mechanism to one we discussed for SN.
