Bitcoin Forum

When I heard of the spike in BTC value today I was so excited!!! ;D ;D ;D

Are you gonna give us a link, or....

Check any exchange. Even google will give you the price if you type "BTC to USD"

True!

This is awful because last time I checked, 1 single bitcoin was 360 dollars.....

So it went down, then went up.

The Last time Bitcoin was $360 or higher was December of 2014.... Been awhile

That's the nature of the bitcoin market. Its like a rollercoaster ride.

That's awful. It did not go up. I knew there was no way it could've gone up.

I hate rollercoaster rides. You're always worried about your hat or shoes falling off.

If the price goes up between the time of purchasing and selling then yes it did.  That is what you call a profit margin, and I'm in the green dude.

I'm a woman.

I've checked the price of Bitcoin 4-5 times a day for months.  Volume spiking too.  Nice to see it finally starting to move

Hoping the trend holds.   I'd like to see 300s before 2016

Yeah that or my wallet falling out of my pocket.

I'm on the same page!!

It was at 300, then dropped to 200 so this is not progress at all.

Oh that's the worst part. Reflects bitcoin nicely.

I got into bitcoin when it was $9 so its all good to me at this point xD.

Well it is fluctuating much less than it did last fall... Also, If you get in at 200 and sell at 260 that is huge progress and a gain.

That's settling for less. Why settle for 200 when you can have 1,000....I don't understand.

That spike will likely never happen again though.  That was back when BTC was heavily traded.  Now everyone is holding on to it and not trading that's why its so stable.  Sucks for investors but good for a legit currency.   Let me know if you disagree.

I disagree, sorry. I want it to be 1,000.

I will attempt to hold about 10 coins.

I will hold it for 2 years...

If I don't get 10,000 for just sitting around in 2 years, I'm done. Because in two years, I would have done every single trick I could in my book to promote bitcoin. I can do a lot alone, but this is the one act that I cannot do alone. Everyone has to fight with me, or we should just stop playing with these coins, and our futures because waiting and hoping for our situation to get better is just not going to happen.

not enough if you are one of those that missed the 2013 bubble

I like the passion, I feel the same way.  I do the same but I sell and buy here and there to make some cash.  But you see, because of the constant mining the price will only increase if more people join the movement.  But when mining finished, the price will grow exponentially. 

2 years is not enough to make bitcoin price back to $1000 maybe in 5 year again or need more than 5 year

i want to remember to you that we have already seen al this not a long time ago, so unless we can float much higher than 300 or 400, i'm not holding too much any hope

Wow...
Nice news for us. Thanks for telling :)

bitcoin uptrend started and we can see price above 300 this month, its good for everyone
up btc up  :D

Funny that people get so excited and think it will get above $300 just because the price is going up. Reaching $300 is a level too high at the moment. I wonder when traders will start to take profits.

Who let a woman into a bitcoin forum???!!!  ;D

I think this upwards trends will keep continue for some more days at least after that there will be some correction and stability will be seen in price.This rises in price will be steady till halving so it is good to buy even it is already little up.

I'm always suspicious about $20-$30 increase so suddenly as this had previously often lead to a big fall afterwards. We will see and learn again.

We will know much more in few days! If it doesn't drop all of the sudden and if it maybe continues this steady growth, than maybe this is a beginning of a trend reversal and not just another dead cat bounce.

Little more patience and it will be told! But let's keep in mind that this depression has to end eventually, so maybe this is just what's happening at the moment. At least I hope so!

the christmas buys and get rid of BTC may put it like 200 again soo only after january we see the real good price that holds for summer

I was mining at 6$, and missed the buy in opportunity when it dropped much lower, and put in the last of my allocated risk investment at about $15 (when personal mining got too difficult).  In that sense it worked out well, though far less than optimal. 

I'm happy to see the recent increase, but feel it will be short lived.  I'm expecting somewhere around $250 before it is ready to make a new climb on some new so far unknow news (currently $270-271 as of time of writing), which could be significant in a month or two (before the next collapse), then a few months later maybe something quite special.

Depending on your personality you could either trade or hodl,  I'm not really a trader, but if I have a good feel about what's going on then I may sell only to buy back and collect more BTC, and not for FIAT reasons.

Nice to see it going up - its been a bit depressing of late  ;)

hah - well I got in to it when folks around here were giving BTC away free and I think the price was a few cents. Sadly for me the BTC I had on my hard drive (yep I was even mining with a single computer back then) was lost because I formatted the drive. In my defense the BTC price was almost nothing, I didnt understand it at all and  it wasnt looking like it was going to take off. A year or so after that BTC was over $500 so you can imagine how wonderful I felt :). I wish I could have found my old account for the forum as it would have made for interesting reading. Back then more than half the people on the forum were adamant it was a fad

We live and Learn!  8)

:o They were giving BTC for free? Do you remember how many bitcoins you got?

I love rollercoaster. Gives you some kind of exciting feeling and releases lots of Adrenaline! ;D
Same with Bitcoin.Getting up this morning and checking the price I didn't need a cup of coffee to awaken :D

in 2013 one year was enough to go from $36 or so to $1240 or so.

Why shouldn't it be possible to go from $250 to $5000?

I get the whole "parabolic growth can't go on forever" thing, but $5000 is still a tiny market cap.

In fact, we could go on this way all the way until around about a million or so per bitcoin (in current dollar terms) before we start seeing problems with scaling. (Probably even closer to 10 million, because there's a lot of fiat currency around that we don't know about, but on the other hand that would inflate the dollar).

Glad to see Bitcoin is going up again, yeah, it brings me back here. The rising seems steady also, so I think the 300$/2000￥ is also expected.

wouldn't be that bad for people that expecting the price to go all the way to $300. and from seeing the optimistic posts here and there I'd say there's a lot of them.

Interesting for fast trading, buy on 220-250$ and sell near 300$. But for long trading you can buy at this level and wait.

For you to say that is extremely passive. Anything is possible if you work for it. It sounds like you're saying "We'll take what we get". Passive behavior is why this currency will never succeed. I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I need you to just understand that work is what this currency needs.

Adrenaline isn't safe to glorify sometimes.

Thank you. We are running out of time to be passive, and pessimistic. If any of you want this currency to be a success, you have to fight.

It is quite good and positive for the people who were optimistic to see some increase in price.I think this trend of rise in price will be constant with accumulation and corrections till next year and we will see 500 $ figure once again somewhere at the start of next year .

No because it was 300 two months ago. We are pedaling backwards.

If the price breaches $320, we are not pedalling backwards, but forwards.

i don't want to be pessimist here, but this is yet to be seen, and it has been 10 months without surpassing and staying above the 300, counting only this year

Yes, it's still rather early to celebrate. We need few more days just to see what's this all about. But I have to admit that it looks good and encouraging. Moreover, we must exit this depression and reverse the trend one day!

I'm on the green, and I entered at 200 so ;D Many had been encouraging me to exit when it was tanking down to 200, but look at where I'm at now? Profit time anytime I want it to be. :D I have high hopes that this price will still rise and perform well. :)

I wouldn't be too excited if I were you. Although price seems to be on the uptrend, anything can still happen from here. It might retrace quickly or even suddenly went up further and break the 300 resistance level. The main thing is it has sustain the price level that it has achieved because there are a lot of people waiting for it to reach their target selling price to dump their coins and then buy back again at lower price.

Agreed, given that btc is known for its surprises in price. Well, if it in case it breaks 300, it is good, but I won't get excited that much since we haven't really tested that level yet. For me, 280-290 is quits for my coins that I bought for 200. I don't want to be greedy, and I'm not a pessimist, but I don't think we will hold strong at 300.
