Title: to buy or not to buy
Post by: talkingleaves on October 29, 2015, 09:06:10 PM
at the start of the month, with all the bullish news, I was looking at my coinbase account and it's option to fund with credit card....hmmm, I thought, I have this new credit card with no interest for 2 months...hmmm...will I buy 2 more bitcoins? I should, I thought. I could cash out in a few weeks and maybe make an easy hundred euros or two.

I did not. Goddamnit. Could have made an easy 30% gain off of credit.

and now I wonder, is it worth doing that today? any thoughts?

Borrowing to buy bitcoin? That's pretty risky.

'd advice against it.

Yes, bitcoin can grow, but what if it drops? You'd have to pay back the money, where do you get the money if it drops?

Only invest what you can afford to lose.

If it's just enough money to buy two bitcoin's then it's not much of a risk.

Do it!

It's usually advised against to buy with credit if you couldn't otherwise afford it, although the Chinese are going crazy right now with BTC. Do what you feel is best, can you afford to pay it back if you lose all? Just be smart and buy what you can afford. Risk/Reward is something you can only decide. Rub one out and make a smart decision after that.

Many think bitcoin price could reach 350+$ but the problem consists on:
1- the price may drop at any moment over 30% of its value
2- buying around ~318$ and selling around 350$ is still profitable and everyday passing with an increasing price will make you regretting why you didn't buy before

My advice: do not risk all your money if you plan to buy btc to avoid a major loss just in case


Title: Re: to buy or not to buy
Post by: richardsNY on October 29, 2015, 09:24:58 PM
I am a longterm holder. If I didn't buy already at previous lower price levels, I would most likely do it right now. I'm not going to wait for the price to go down a few bucks since it doesn't matter for longterm holders.

I think this is the correct answer. It could carry on with a powerful climb or sag back to its old and tired ways. The fact that the OP is thinking this way is a small signal that perhaps it's already overheating? Or maybe it's just got started. Don't listen to anything I have to say.

I really don't know what to tell you. I am looking at the price right now and I am wondering will this be as other rises this year? Will we drop like a rock in the next few days?

All of the good news in the last 10 days are telling me that this is ream this time. All of the previous dumps, especially this year are scaring me.

I would say about 65% this is a real deal and 35% we will drop. Then again, trend has to reverse one day, so maybe this day has come.

It's your decision! Whatever you decide, good luck to you!

I have a feeling that if you buy them,
The price will get dropped lol, if you can afford start with one bitcoin.
If you win ok, but if you loose you will loose less, i think that the price is going only to rise even though there are some drops.


Title: Re: to buy or not to buy
Post by: talkingleaves on October 29, 2015, 09:49:40 PM
all decent input, thanks guys.

gentlemand, as stated, the reason I'm thinking this way is because I was thinking this way at the start of october when it was $235, envisioning a touch on $300 by months end...and I'm kicking myself with the hindsight that my instincts a month ago should have been acted on.

but maybe just one more BTC....

wexlike: good advice, where were you when I was 22? i'm in lots of debt to the bank for a failed business from several years ago. debt doesn't scare me anymore, and I do have a steady job now. small amounts of credit like 2 bitcoin on a credit card seem like nothing compared to the 40k euros I owe the bank

but yeah I can also imagine the scenario of it dropping to 250 next week, I'd kick myself over a loss equivalent to a day or two's wage. BUT WHAT IF IT DOESNT GO BACK DOWN haha

I have the same feeling of hope and wonderment I had back in january-march '13 before the spike to 266...but I had no money back then


As of today I hold 7 bitcoins. I'd love to add 2 more before we see some moon action again. I may take 600watt's advice and invest half for a single coin.

If you believe bitcoin has entered a bull market you can always dollar cost average, or wait for a down day on strong volume and buy when others are selling to get the best price. I hope we do not see 270-290 again but can't rule that out, bitcoin is volatile no doubt.

You are willing to take a risk. I really like that, i wouldnt have the balls to borrow 40k euros. :) But I really strongly discourage you to buy a very risky investment like bitcoins with money that you cant really afford to lose. You are almost the prime target for someone who is selling the bag of a promising investment. The moment you buy the tide turns and you are confronted with a downturn and pain in your head because you have to pay back the money at some point AND your investment is losing in value. And then you sell low, while i buy back with profit. (Sold at 317; i will buy back with a loss if we rise higher (420+))

If you can't afford 500 euros now from your own pocket, don't buy them. You would make a prime mistake.

Nevertheless, if you really buy some coins, then please make a plan with a tight stoploss.

if you are buying to spend, that's one thing, cuz what you spend is what you got/get. if your hodling, that's different. i'd not buy right now, but then again, maybe I would if i had the spare bucks. but. I am poor for a few months, christmas coming, kids etc. ;)

You should really ponder on it first before making a move, otherwise if it didn't meet your hopes (of prices going up) you have to pay for the debt that you used on buying bitcoin. You said that you have 7 already, adding one on the stash might not hurt if you can pay it with your own pocket, but from borrowing? I think not a good idea.


Title: Re: to buy or not to buy
Post by: vuduchyld on October 30, 2015, 01:33:42 AM
I get the feeling that you came to the forum to get some kind of emotional backup for a decision you have already made.  OF COURSE you're going to find somebody HERE of all places that tells you to DO IT.  And that's what you'd like to hear.

I'm a long-term huge bull and a long-term HODLer.  But I'll tell you straight up that the ONLY people here who are making ANY sense are the ones telling you not to buy with borrowed money.  

What's the potential upside on 2 bitcoins that you are maybe buying now and maybe selling later? Couple hundred bucks total round trip?  And what's the potential downside?  $600 in money that you're not paying interest on NOW, but you're paying credit card interest on later?

I say it sounds like you're buying now and selling later, but if that isn't the case, you will almost certainly have opportunities to buy 2 BTC at some point in the future at a lower price than you're seeing now...some time in the future when you will not be borrowing to do so.

Either way, it really makes no sense to borrow on a credit card to buy.  

I mean, if you want to do it, just do it.  But don't do it thinking in ANY way that you're doing anything other than recklessly speculating and timing a market that one really can't time.

I never recommend investing with borrowed money, when you invest you are taking risk if this risk is assumed with money that you don't need isn't a problem. But if you invest with money that you need or worse that you borrowed and your invest goes wrong you will have a big problem.

Buy as fast as you can.

The fake pumps of this years had the pattern of slowly climbling to 300, stay one or two days at most at the top, then slowly dump back to 220.

Now that 300 was really broken, I can't see it stop before 400

Yes, it has climbed to $330+ levels right now soon we are going to see $350 and then it may test again $400 levels too. But the speed of this rally just emphasize the dangerous of pumping by a group of people. So, buy and sell in quick profits and buy hold if you can hold for quite long period.

Yes if we can hold for long period then buying at this higher level is good. Other wise we may get struck in the dumping waves. But many people here are expecting the price rally to continue to the next bigger prices like $300 or more levels too.

Far back in the mists of ancient time, my good lady wife decided to give herself £5000 to buy some Bitcoins.

I thought she was insane, but... she had the money and it wouldn't hurt us that much if it all went horribly wrong.

She traded back and forth for a while, gained a bit, lost a bit, gained a bit and eventually got bored with it and put her Bitcoins in cold storage, all 641 of them.

I now think she is a genius and wish I had bought £5000 worth of coins at the same time.

Bottom line: If you can afford to hold for a longish time, buy some Bitcoins. Use only money that you can afford to do without forever - it may be your children or grandchildren who take the profit.

Thats why good investors always buy small amounts at all price levels. This will reduce the situation like what your facing now. So do not wait some more time start slowly now.

Smart investors have bought when the price was dumped to the ground at $200-$220 :) You remember how long the price was stuck at around $220-$240? Very long. People who didn't buy back then, when they had plenty of time, are now buying at +$300. That's the difference between people who are constantly doubting, and traders who know what to do and when to buy.

Maybe you can earn from these money but the bad scenario is if you loose.
Then you should look for another opportunity to cover the lost and would be stressful.

I recall people talking about getting loans out when it was over $1000. That was two years ago and that's a long time to be swallowing a monthly expense on something that's lost most of its value. I wonder what became of some of them.

Laying out for two coins ultimately isn't going to sting all that much if you remain underwater for a while but that would really get on my nerves.

Perhaps the most important question hasn't been asked yet - have you set yourself a limit as to how much you're willing to risk and would this buy breach it?

I could easily afford more but I hit my buffers and ain't willing to go any further. Threads like this are a prime example of how bubbles form and we all know how dull and protracted their aftermath can be.

Don't buy yet. (That is if you focus on short and mid-term trading. If your aim is to hold your BTC for years to come, chanches are the difference between $220 and $320 will be minimal by then)

If Bitcoin rockets on towards $350, then buying might be a good move.

As others would always point out: buy when there's blood on the streets and sell when there are sound of the trumpets. ;) But seriously though, you can't time the markets in any way, it is risky PLUS it would be riskier once you involve money that is not yours in the first place.

People don't dare to buy when the price is going down heavily. They always think it will go lower, and then they miss out on buying at such a low price. You need to have steel balls to buy when it's dropping fast.

Agreed 100% ... ! Though I gotta admit I just recently found out playing the game this way yields the most profit. My first steps into the world of crypto can be described as: buy high, sell low ...

A sure fire way to lose your Bitcoins is selling them by thinking you are smarter than millions of market players + thousands of whales out there.
Im sorry but we can't nothing about it rather than keep supporting this amazing technology. For us, the best we can do is buy and hold (long term).
Sure, it sucks not having sold some at 1K, but 1K will be nothing in 10 years. It's worth holding through it, specially if you aren't holding a big amount.

You must be right.
But this is not the right time to buy bitcoin unless you are ready to hold for some quite long duration. Because right now bitcoin price at the overbought zone. Buying is recommended after some confirmation about the current situation either it may go down on it would sustain at the current level.

That's when the regrets kick in: not buying when prices are too damn cheap only to see the price skyrocket. I've been buying at the lows and selling near the top for almost a year now, only to buy back in cheaper and enlarging my long-term stash. I'm pretty good now with my hodlings and planning to hold on to them for 5 more years.

People don't dare to buy when the price is going down heavily. They always think it will go lower, and then they miss out on buying at such a low price. You need to have steel balls to buy when it's dropping fast.

That's when the regrets kick in: not buying when prices are too damn cheap only to see the price skyrocket. I've been buying at the lows and selling near the top for almost a year now, only to buy back in cheaper and enlarging my long-term stash. I'm pretty good now with my hodlings and planning to hold on to them for 5 more years.

Very nice plan. I also wanted to do like what you're doing. But most of the people here were not buying when the price of around $250. Out of fear most of the people have missed the those opportunity I'm now looking for the buying opportunity within $400 levels.

I'm pretty sure it's a good time to buy at anytime under 400 myself, but that's just me. ;)

i would say under 300 now, before i would have said under 250, but it seems that we have a new solid checkpoint

400 is still not reachable easily, well if you are here for 10k, anything under it should be a must buy, but this is a different story...

If you believe that this thing is going big, you shpuld be buying even though the price seemed to be tanking. That's where traders get their large profits from, and a nice way to enlarge your stash too. ;)

To every long term investor, bitcoin under 500$ is most probably the safest way to invest. Based on some positive news regarding legal feedback, and
fiat devaluation price is already increasing, and now just wait for capital controls and people using it as a store of value; and we're gonna be talking about >1k values again.
For me there's no doubt; it's definitely buy-time.

2013 is a great example. So many people didn't buy and kept saying at $200 that it is too late to buy. After that the price reaches $300, oh no, again too late to buy, $400, $500, $600, $700, $800 nooo, now it is really too late to buy. $900, $1000, $1100 ohhhh, I don't want to miss out again, I'll buy right now  :) :D

Well amazingly we are going back up again today! Yesterday when I saw that we went down all the way ti $307 at Bitfinex I was pretty much sure that we will retest $300 again, but today we are again back at $323 at the moment.

It might be that we are going back up again. Especially with the fact that much money will arrive tomorrow to the exchanges that was wired before the weekend.

Looks like it's steady within $300-$350. But with bitcoin's volatility, it could break either bound any day now.

It's just a matter of days before we make another attempt to break through the $350 barrier. I think we can do it before Sunday next week. Especially if China is going to pump hard as hard as it did last days.

Indeed, $300 seems to be the new floor, for now at least. BTC-e.com (always somewhat lower than other exchanges) reached a low of $300,01 last evening, now hovering mostly between $305 and $310.

Stamp and Finex currently are roughly $320 at the moment ... !

So what have you decided to do, at the end ?

i procrastinated and eventually bought a single bitcoin on my credit card, to add to the 7 I already had. I don't feel so bad about losing a hundred euro or so if it crashes, cause I can just take the loss out of the bitcoins I already had when it comes time to pay my bill in a month before interest accrues.

This shit better go to the moon haha

I should add, I only bought it last night. I wanted to wait to see if we could go down to 295 at least, thinking I'd make a decision when I see a below-300 price. But that wasn't happening the last few days so I thought, fuck it, that looks like the beginning of a decent support level. Get in there.

I guess you can tell I'm a little bullish

Good luck with your trade then.

Make sure you decide now when to get out if things don't go your way, though.
If things work out OK, my advice is to keep moving your stop loss up with the bitcoin price.

If you bought list night then the price has been increase for 10 USD today.
But if i were you i would not sell and will wait for more pumps.
The time to buy is everytime unless it is crashing and its not rising.

at the start of the month, with all the bullish news, I was looking at my coinbase account and it's option to fund with credit card....hmmm, I thought, I have this new credit card with no interest for 2 months...hmmm...will I buy 2 more bitcoins? I should, I thought. I could cash out in a few weeks and maybe make an easy hundred euros or two.

I did not. Goddamnit. Could have made an easy 30% gain off of credit.

and now I wonder, is it worth doing that today? any thoughts?

you made pretty big mistake because you was afraid of losing money, and how you saw, you could get a lot of extra money for sure

and now it is okay time to buy and keep them for 304 months, because of halving you should make easy extra money again, maybe even more than 100 euros

it is easy to say this after the time has passed and things became clear. but at that time you could not say if the price would go up next month or not.

the situation right now, we all say price is going to go up but when? meanwhile you can earn more buy trading altcoins instead of sitting on your coins.

It will be very good if you are buying. But you need to fast because the price will rise soon and that can be very good.
But you never know of course what can happen and that is the problem. But you can also see now that the price is rising slowly so that is great.

On this moment. It is not good to buy. Because the value is not low and you can also see that the price is rising.

also the important part is that ETH has started to be dumped real hard.

I buy at around $300 if possible and if I have to money to spend. If that is not the case I do not bother buying any bitcoins. If you buy watch the prices carefully and do not just buy because you can. Buying at a high price will make it harder to sell.

Last year the price ranged between ~$200 and ~$300 - I was buying around $220 and selling (derivatives) around $300. In November that period of trading within a range ended - price crashed through $300, and hasn't returned since (except briefly, once, in intraday trading in mid-November). (http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/bitstampUSD#rg360ztgSzl)

When were you buying at $300?

But believe, buying at this price is also highly profitable. The reason is you will get assured return within few months as halving is approaching.

if you want some good profit in few months, then of course buy them now, because halving will happen in July and price rises now because of halving, so if you will buy bitcoins now, you will have a lot later for sure, don't buy if you really need money now only, but if you have some spare 100$ then go buy some bitcoins

yes i think that you should buy them now because of many reasons, first reason is that prime might never go back to 420$ so you should buy now because might be last chance

and second important reason is halving, everyone buys bitcoins to sell them for more later so you should buy them too now and sell after halving to get profit

yes, do it anytime and just wait long enough for decent profit. it is so simple..

yes it is very simple but sometimes people avoid doing that, either because they are of price at this moment and waits for smaller one, or they are afraid that price will fall after they will buy coins

yes i would really buy now and i would keep them for atleast 1 year, keeping bitcoins for soe time is really good way to earn money so you should do it

why are buyers fools? it doesn't make sense because most of the people buy bitcoin as an investment hoping they get a decent return. by inherits i assume you are talking about earning it via free methods. of course it is nice to earn some free coins every week or month, but these earnings are nothing more than a nice extra. when you buy, you can get lots of coins at once depending on your fiat balance.

Yeah I agree with you, now if you are buying coins you can expect good amount after halving, or if you are interested you can invest and earn more coins, that too provide better returns at the time of halving, but you have to be careful while investing.

I think now when the price is reached to $424 is  also not a high price to buy bitcoin when we take in consideration the coming halving, where the expection of the price is at about $700 or more than that.

If you want to make some profit later with Bitcoin than you can buy some coins now around this time because it is not that bad now to make an investment in Bitcoins.
The value is not that high so that is nice to buy it.

I think buying is now one of the best things you can do if I'm honest, the price is good now and the future is also good.
Look at the fact that the price is gonna rise because of the halving this year.

Yeah price is good to buy now, and I don't think it will fall at a moment, as price is stable and it will rise as we get closer to halving, buying can be the best decision.

Depends on how far out you want to look,in say two months I expect bitcoin to drop as the young folks get out of school and want some recreational money to live it up with.
Then you have the Brexit after that which may spike it upwards and in Septemeber you will see it drop back down.
Think of bitcoin as a bond and you do not have to speculate to much,just build it up.

Yeah buying is the best option now as price is stable, also it is not the right time to sell your coins, wait till halving you can obtain a good profit.

every long term investor, bitcoin under 500$ is most probably the safest way to invest. Based on some positive news regarding legal feedback, and fiat devaluation price is already increasing..

If you want to make an investment than it will be not that bad because the value is not that high so it will be not that bad, the only thing that you must do is to wait for an increase.
And the price increase can takes a long time and that is the baddest thing of Bitcoin.

Its just a matter of 3 months now, we will see higher price at the time of halving, and I think this is the perfect time to buy as price is relatively low at a moment.

Buying bitcoin is the best move to make more profit every day or after halving honestly my bitcoin some of them are bought already in the market and save it to my wallet because i want to make more profit after block halving.. and i think it will happen that the value will be 1000 usd..

This should be revised a bit.

"Buying bitcoin at certain periods of time" is a best move. Eg: before this whole halving incase if it does shoot up

yes it was a very good feedback for me or the people of this forum to buy bitcoin gradually so we still have spare money if prices suddenly fall down a lot.

It is always recommended not to buy full bitcoin, buy in installments and you always have an opportunity to buy more in future if price drops.

at the start of the month, with all the bullish news, I was looking at my coinbase account and it's option to fund with credit card....hmmm, I thought, I have this new credit card with no interest for 2 months...hmmm...will I buy 2 more bitcoins? I should, I thought. I could cash out in a few weeks and maybe make an easy hundred euros or two.

I did not. Goddamnit. Could have made an easy 30% gain off of credit.

and now I wonder, is it worth doing that today? any thoughts?

I think that it is good time to buy right now, price is not very large at this moment so if you will buy now, you will get lots of profit later for sure, you just have to sell them at right time, when price will rise to sky for example, but anyway it is always good time to buy bitcoins

No matter what price we are in right now its still a good buy because in the halving we will see that the price will rise and no one will be selling their bitcoin by then.

i'd say it depends totally on the future price and how we will get there.
for example if we get to $1000 in two months then i would definitely sell at least some coins because the price will probably come back down but on the other hand if the price goes to $700 for example till the end of 2016 then i would not sell because there is still room to grow slowly.

No matter what price we are in right now its still a good buy because in the halving we will see that the price will rise and no one will be selling their bitcoin by then.

from the current price level i expect the price to have a maximum upwards potential of 40% till the block halving as i don't think the price will go over $600 by that time. if you look at it from that point, then there is still some good money to be made.

Now the price is still not too low to buy coins but if we see it's growth since November 2015, $400-$450 is always a good price. IT may not reach $600 but even $500-$550 is good for traders. 40% is not possible and I'm keeping my hopes at 20% at least.

If you anticipate on a price increase then it's a good time to buy but if you expect the price to go down again, better wait and hold off.
For me the current time is good to hold.

Agree guys,

Only that price will rise yet more due to halving, So it could be good time to buy I think, Of course the better time to buy was a year ago aproximately.

Yeah I bought when price was around $250 and still I am holding, but I am also buying at a moment in small parts as I feel price will be much higher at the time of halving.

You should not wait too long mate, I think this is the time you should sell your coins and earn profits from it as no one is sure whether price will rise or fall at the halving, you are trying to risk your profits.

Any buying choices now till the halving actually is done is a profit zone.

Even though it may not be much, its a definite price increase. Just dont hope for a huge profit zone though unless you see it happen.

If you want a long term investment and a sure profits, then you must have to buy some coins because it has a stable development on its price. I think that is one of the best way you can do for having profit soon. Just secure your coins.

the time for buying was last summer, but if you are late, I would still recommend waiting for the next dip. There will be more than one between here and halving.

That's true I bought last year when price was $220 and I am still holding, but who wants to make investment in bitcoin then they can buy with current price as its not too high.

For us buyers, we are quite lucky. The price has dropped from the $469 level to $440 range. We can buy now.

It is difficult to multiply your bitcon through trading. Trading is negative sum game if you consider the exchanges charge a fee.

well i think that you want to get profit from them and not just use them, so you should buy now as soon as possible, because price won't stop at 450$, it will rise even more

so when you will buy hem, keep them for 2 or 3 month and sell them after halving, price might rise to new ATH then so that's really good moment to buy, because later it will be too late

those who are planning to hold it as long term investment will have a great buy below $500 these days. however, i am not sure whether or not it is a good short term buy as the price can go into any direction at the moment.

Yes above $500 is possible in coming months due to halving  so buying now is the best thing to do as you  can expect higher price at the time of halving.
