i'm holding my bitcoin until they are worth enough to buy a time machine. then I will go back to the year 1635 and hoard all the tulip bulbs

today, i bought coins at a $60 discount/coin. thanks panic sellers.

the last time I listened to MatTheCat's TA, i sold half my btc holdings and the price went up $100 about 30 mins later. After it went up, he essentially said "oops, nevermind."

Thanks Mat, keep up the good work.

the best advice anyone on here can give you is this:
HODL!

cold wallet on a usb up my ass

seems like if you did the opposite of those indicators, you'd have done pretty damn good

i played the daytrading game during the april 2013 bubble. put in a measly $2k, convinced my parents to put in $2k, and proceeded to daytrade like a madman and turned that $4k into $20k. it was the damnest thing: i woke up the morning of the crash, looked at the price which was trying to eat through $260 and thought to myself, "self, it went exponential compared to yesterday, i should sell and buy the dip." but it was 6 am and i'd just woken up. went downstairs and ate a bowl of cereal. came back upstairs and the price was $140 and gox was completely frozen. so sad...i promised myself i'd just buy and go long from then on, and i made a hell of a lot more holding my coins for half a year and selling at 900 than i ever did day trading now time to do it all again!

Well, I live in CST timezone and also am a graduate student...I've pulled probably 8 all-nighters over the past 2 weeks watching bitcoin, attempting to average down and ride waves, etc. Seems like the spikes down always come between 3 and 4 am my time, its to the point where i can very comfortably pull an all-nighter without coffee or energy drinks.

Now I'm completely bought in for an average of $475/coin. I'm putting my coins in a cold wallet and will report back in April (seems like a month a lot of speculators enjoy referencing for some reason?)

Looking forward to returning to a normal sleep schedule, and quite proud of my work! Gonna be paying off all my student loans with these ones


edit: and thank you rpietila for all the advice you dispense in this thread. it seems like these forums are the equivalent of the troll box, and your voice is one of a spare few that speaks reason and legitimately tries to help people based on your views. Your advice on the time to buy being "when people are screaming that the system is broken and will fail" was the deciding factor on me pulling the trigger and putting about 40% of my remaining fiat in @ $405/coin the other night and effectively averaging down some hasty purchases I had made in the 650-700 range. enjoy your mansion, maybe i'll drop by some day and bring you some gifts from New Orleans

400-550 is the time to get in. we may fluctuate in and out of these levels over the next month, but once we pass 800 again, you'll never have the chance to buy <600 in the future, period.

drinks on me, just tell me when to come. you'll always have a place to stay in New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S. during Mardi Gras season, i can show ya a god time

im holding my btc until the next block reward halving.

Those folks who's logic was clouded by greed
it's more than tissues they'll need
they left coins in gox, which is now on the rocks
fie fiddle die diddle dumb deed.

pretty much sums it up

imo nows the time to get money into gox. cheap coins coming

anyone who keeps more than 5% of their bitcoins sitting in an exchange rather than secured in their own possession deserves to lose them to exchange hackings.
