bah enough- after this debacle I am holding even if I drown and doing cold storage

I don't know man...and they said we would never see 400s again....

hehe....i actually don't know why i moved off exchange....i should have just kept on and then bought at 300...in fact that was the plan...but then for some uknown reason i moved off exchange...

wow. i think i am now in th pantheon of horrible traders...not that i am even a trader, but i thought getting out at 330 was wise, which it was, but i inexplicably moved fiat off exchange...

crap, sold and took my money off exchange at 330 before 270 dip....


i'm an idiot trader--now i'm sending fiat back for a loss.

anyone think this might be a bull trap so I don't feel so foolish...?

It's OK. All in all lost between 7-9k between buying on the downtrend and buying mining equipment with BTC and cash.

This loss is realized.

I did not buy in 2011--was thinking about investing around 2k then, but of course it seemed very risky and ethereal at the time to me...

Like I said, perspective is a funny thing.

I make twice as much, however, as I did in 2011 through a couple promotions, so there's solace in that.

I'm not necessarily out of BTC, but I just don't see up from here, and I'd rather cut loss/feel safer on the sideline than hold ATM.

There seems to be tremendous pressure from all sides for the near term with respect to selling.

Well it was an interesting ride--learned a lot, and hopefully spared from future speculations that would have gone bad.

Will still have my eye on BTC, but full fiat now.

--2011, the year I learned about BTC
--2014, the year I bought and mined BTC, but obsessed about it, lost money, etc.

Perspective is a funny thing.

I'm divested. I don't see up from here, but maybe I'm totally wrong. Also don't want to hold through this kind of thing. 340 was my limit, and there's no rebound. Will be on the lookout with respect to price though obviously over the next while.

Ah ok, good. I've been feeling pretty weird to be honest--not knowing whether to buy or divest completely...

Is it weird that I'm getting really nervous?

Ok this movement made me put some foat deposit requests into my exchange.

I wavered for a bit, but I think this in an opportunity.

....this was funny

Haha, I love this guy...

Ok, but does usability sine qua non increase value? I'm not so sure. I agree though I was overseeing the other points though.

crap, I didn't even realize the use he intended on this.

yeah man, -1 on the racist remark, but I still find the argument that this may put sell pressure on the back-end interesting.

hmm that's actually a good point.

If anyone calls for a pump, I can almost guarantee it won't happen.

We are not necessarily tied to the same cycles as before. 'Pumps' may not even ever occur again. We may just see steady, slow growth, or steady, slow decline (followed by steady, slow growth IMHO).

I am starting to think that we will not see spikes in price of any substance at all, just an overall slow growth upward for years to come with nominal volatility (relative to previous volatility), no greater that -/+ 20%.

We may go two years at this level. That's what I'm thinking.

Can you suggest a laptop?

Want to spend <600; anyone have an idea on what the best bang for my Buck would be?

Yeah, though I think we will see into the 700s and 800s.

Bitcoin is definitely NOT slowly dying.

It's INCREDIBLY resilient.

I think it's exciting and holds a lot of promise, but a revolution in the way people think about money and a paradigmatic shift and overhaul of the most entrenched institution of the world will take some time to dovetail into expectations and the technological promise.
