Title: Bad time to go long
Post by: alani123 on February 18, 2016, 08:53:30 PM
As I'm posting this, Ethereum is still going through one of the greatest speculative bubbles any altcoin has ever experienced and in the meantime BTC/USD's volume is down while the price is rising.

https://bitcoincharts.com/charts/chart.png?width=940.1666660000001&m=bitfinexUSD&SubmitButton=Draw&r=90&i=Daily&c=0&s=&e=&Prev=&Next=&t=S&b=&a1=&m1=10&a2=&m2=25&x=0&i1=&i2=&i3=&i4=&v=1&cv=0&ps=0&l=0&p=0&

People said the start of the year would be a safe time to buy because of the upcoming halving but that was too early, and it's still is. 420 is still above support and there's no guarantee that the coming of the halving is going to secure the price in the meantime, especially with the interest of speculators currently shifted onto Ethereum's bubble at large. You're never too safe with bitcoin.

eth bubble is ended, it will remain there for a long time now, they wanted to secure the 0.01 mark, that's it, i don't see another great bubble coming for it in the short term

any alt struggled above 0.01, even litecoin it was dumped at the end, and eth(as a currency not platform) does not offer anything above it

The time will change soon I hope. The value is now quite low and it will rise soon I hope. You never know what can happen.
I hope that it will be rise for a long time so we can sell it in the future and get some a lot of profit.

Post by: BTCLovingDude on February 19, 2016, 10:25:48 AM
but Ethereum bubble is over now, all the investors have cashed out already and i believe one of the reasons that bitcoin price went above $400 was the fact that all those investments came back to bitcoin.

any rise in ETH is the result of dead cat bouncing for now which may or may night change in a couple of months

Bad time to go long? I disagree. I think just the opposite, if you are going at it for long term then now is great time to buy. The price is still low and I see it only raising before the halving. There is no reason in sight why it would drop much from this level.

For shorting it's hard to say if you should buy. Price might drop and correct itself soon. Or it might not. No one knows.

Anyway at least I will be only buying more these times. Bring it on!

What is this? Another Ethereum shill thread?
Ethereum can and will never be what Bitcoin already is.
Furthermore the Eth pump seems to be over and will slowly begin to decline with some small ups in it to catch the last dumbs left with spare money looking for making a quick buck with altcoins.

Actually I'm suggesting that it's a bad time go long with either BTC or ETH. Both will be heading down sooner or later, especially ETH. Perhaps going long with bitcoin would be safer after ethereum's bubble has popped.

Also, bubbles can have ups and downs as well and ethereum's one is no exception.

I don't think it's too bad of a time to go long, especially if you want to go really long. I think anything under 1k is a good deal


Title: Re: Bad time to go long
Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on February 20, 2016, 12:02:58 AM
I think it's a good time to go long--whatever long is.  ETH is a sucker bet I think, but I can't claim to be certain about that. 

As far as the safety of bitcoin, yeah right.  Bitcoin is volatile as a Mo Fo, worse than precious metals and stocks.  Combined.

The Ethereum has fairly big community support at the moment. The price has risen a lot since last year.

i also think it is better not to jump to any alt right now without knowing actual reason of pump on their price. It is always safe to invest in bitcoin.

It is not a bad time I think on this moment. We will get now a good time, the value is now rising very slowly and that is good for those who made an investment.
But you never know what can happen indeed. But we dont need to be negative. You must hope for the good thing.


Title: Re: Bad time to go long
Post by: nickenburg on February 24, 2016, 03:19:09 PM
Yes, I am closely watching what this coin is doing.

I have been lucky enough to buy at like 0.0095 so the price being at 0.014 now is really good again.
But I expected it and I almost sold at like 0.013 because the price could go anywhere.
And it seems it's going up now again but to where?
Is the question to me because it is probably going down again but when?


Title: Re: Bad time to go long
Post by: 8up on February 24, 2016, 03:19:20 PM
ETH is on its way to $30 > Bitcoin will fork ($400) > invested money in ETH will shift to Bitcoin ($800) > ETH will come back to $5

Edit: time frame is Q2 - after that we'll see a crypto bubble ETH $50 / BTC $3500


Title: Re: Bad time to go long

I think it is good time to go long on bitcoin. The price will rise a lot after the halving and block size will increase.

Post by: gentlemand on February 24, 2016, 09:04:34 PM
I'd love to know how many people who've played with ETH actually know what it is and how it works. To most it's going to be nothing but a rising and falling number on an exchange.

When it comes to crypt currencies, other than bitcoin everything seems to be good or profitable for short term
investments as well trades. These coins sometimes gets vanished. Its better to earn in a short term

Most alts are dead before they are launched. When you look at bitcoin you see it is stable. Buy support is always there.
Knowing we have found a low ~200 dollar give shope for the future.

It is now not a very bad time, I think. The price is now rising so you should be happy and that is very good.
It is very good for those people that has made an investment in Bitcoin and they can have some a lot of profit.

I would like the bitcoin price to stay around this level to consolidate. It is good for the future price rise.

After the consolidation, the price could rise a lot. I shall buy a small amount of bitcoin now just in case the price rises.

Post by: cooldgamer on March 02, 2016, 01:04:20 PM
The price seems to be bleeding out at the moment, which is usually a sign that we'll end up dropping before too long.  I expect that within the next week or so we'll end up in the 420 range or lower, depending on how rapidly we fall, and by extension how many people panic sell.


Title: Re: Bad time to go long
Post by: MaxTax on March 02, 2016, 02:12:54 PM
It is not that bad time. I think you are negative because the value was a bit low. But you must wait and see.
You can now see that the value is slowly rising and that is very good for those who made already an investment, so that is very good.


Title: Re: Bad time to go long
Post by: alani123 on March 02, 2016, 08:59:01 PM
I'd say that the price after February 18 indeed wasn't the best to go long as just a few days after the OP was posted the price spiked @ around 445$ and fell close to 410 days later.

Currently the price hasn't climbed above the high of February 20, although we saw it come close. I'd still say that it isn't a safe time to go long, we already saw two potential bullish runs get shot down lately.

Yes, price is rising slowly and steadily at a moment, but we need to wait until the halving, the price would be much higher and better in next few months, so its time for some good news.

It is slowly going down while ethereum is very high... is as if one feed on the other. It would not be strange for BTC to go below 420 IMO

i have also just bought some eth myself but i don't think eth will replace bitcoin because they are two different things. The only thing that is relating them is fund moving for sell wall of bitcoin to buy wall of eth.

you can go long from 4xx to 440-450 easily, i'm think they are consilidating 400-450 range now, so playing in this range is quite safe

now there is a short trend heading again to 40x, after there was a long term heading to 440+

Do you mean I should buy at $410 and sell at $450? From the past price pattern, it seems a safe strategy.

i would say 400 is the bottim now, so yes 400-450 range is a safe bet in my view

i'm playing this range too on 1 broker

it's still good time to buy and save for long time, not only because of halving, but because china too, it will rise price a lot, and halving will do that too, so it is pretty safe to go long

What's funny is that Brian Armstrong is probably expecting some deus ex machina of a developer to save bitcoin.

Long term, we need to form a new team to work on the bitcoin protocol. A team that is welcoming of new developers to the community, willing to make reasonable trade offs, and a team that will help the protocol continue to scale. You’ll be hearing more about this over the next month or two.

Or he's just planning on competing with blockstream when it comes to influencing bitcoin core's roadmap. If the price is falling because if this, I think that people are taking him too seriously. The problems he talk about have existed within the bitcoin space for a long time, the recent block size drama is made to look serious by unnecessary reactions like this.

The price isn't falling because of what Brian Armstrong said. It's falling because transactions won't go through.

Title: Re: Bad time to go long
Post by: uki on March 05, 2016, 08:15:42 PM
$415 was broken, and that was valid short term support. Right now I expect the buyers to appear already at $380s. A very solid support (mid-term) from TA perspective is the $350 horizontal line from the early January. That should stop any selling, if at all comes to such a test.

i'm long for 450, i'm seeing a return there in a few days, like we did fall from 440 1 week ago

You never know what can happen with a currency, but we all hope that it will rise for a long time so we can sell it with profit.

Although it may eventually get there, people will lose confidence if there are long periods in which bitcoin's price appears directionless.

touching $450, maybe. Keeping it for good, I don't think so. we are still too far from halving, to have its effect this month. a bit more patience guys, the rise will come. However, not yet, and definitely not to $1k.

I feel this to be a good time, because even at the time of decreasing value the price has started increasing without much variation. If such decrease is considered a bad time. Every week bitcoin has to face few bad times.

Right now with $410/BTC, maybe, but when this thread was posted and as evidenced by the recent fall, it wasn't. Still 410 is not that safe as we did see the price go below $400 and even struggle a little to come back.

Well I think the time is good to go for a long term investment, the halving is coming this year but if you think further.
Another halving is coming in 2020 for sure so that will make the price on a long term and let the price jump to a high amount in my opinion.

No more bad time to go. Bitcoin has been expected for a price jump during the halving. As quoted by above mate bitcoin will grow gradually.

Although ETH is rising rapidly due to increasing popularity I still do not believe in ETH because overall it is not a sustainable currency unlike bitcoin.
Bitcoin may have some ups and downs but it does not go to its extreme condition even if someone dumps btc in huge amounts.
In case of ETH I fear one day it might go much lower than what it is today due to some greedy dumpers.

I pretty much missed the whole ETH hype with the alt coin.

Being able to match bitcoin, but this sounds a bit obvious and all. But why bother with ETH when we already seen bitcoin has been 1st for the longest to even birth other alt coins.

I can see this as a quick profit, other then that Ill take my bets with bitcoin.

Well maybe now that the price has fallen so much It's less risky to go long, although the market seems pretty bearish atm.

i'm long for 450, i'm seeing a return there in a few days, like we did fall from 440 1 week ago

it's an endless cycle for accumulation while the market is waiting for the next move

it's not like we have not seen this like one thousand times in the past


450 in what time frame?
Although it may eventually get there, people will lose confidence if there are long periods in which bitcoin's price appears directionless.

The long term price trend will be going higher. That happened in the last 6 years. More and more people are using bitcoin.

You are right the price will go to a higher amount soon or later its just a matter of time, the bitcoin is of course unpredictable but this can be seen from miles.
The halving is coming and on a long term more people are gonna use the bitcoin so the price will jump on a certain point.

What is this? Another Ethereum shill thread?
Ethereum can and will never be what Bitcoin already is.
Furthermore the Eth pump seems to be over and will slowly begin to decline with some small ups in it to catch the last dumbs left with spare money looking for making a quick buck with altcoins.

Actually I'm suggesting that it's a bad time go long with either BTC or ETH. Both will be heading down sooner or later, especially ETH. Perhaps going long with bitcoin would be safer after ethereum's bubble has popped.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4b/Stages_of_a_bubble.png

Also, bubbles can have ups and downs as well and ethereum's one is no exception.

That chart describes mt.gox and every bitcoin venture.

Pretty accurate in general when it comes to bubbles, and seeing how the price so fast kinda supports it.

Kinda reminds me of a penny stock.

yeah sure, all good words, but i was right , we are heading once again toward 450, slow moving toward 440 for the thousand time

it's clear that there are the same bots playing on the market, they play on the same range at every new level

Its not that bad time now. It is now a little bit stable so that is very good. You never know of course for what is going to happen with Bitcoin.
But you can also see that it will rising slowly again and that the halving is also coming later and that is quite good.

After the consolidation in the $420 range, the price will rise to $500 in the next two months, then it will go up to $1500 by year end.

What do you mean that the price is stable? I mean if you look in the Bitcoin charts in the last six months you can call the price action all but stable.
We are in the horizontal channel $350-415 since the early January, but still there are movements of $50 in each direction. I mean, that is less than the usual Bitcoin volatility, but still that is not stable.

ETH is on its way to $30 > Bitcoin will fork ($400) > invested money in ETH will shift to Bitcoin ($800) > ETH will come back to $5

Edit: time frame is Q2 - after that we'll see a crypto bubble ETH $50 / BTC $3500

eth bubble is ended, it will remain there for a long time now, they wanted to secure the 0.01 mark, that's it, i don't see another great bubble coming for it in the short term

any alt struggled above 0.01, even litecoin it was dumped at the end, and eth(as a currency not platform) does not offer anything above it

Eth aint just some alt though, its different.. dapps and smart contracts will rule the world. :D

ethereum even as a pump (missed boat) it will dump ..maybe down to 3 bucks but it will dump (if it actually survives as such imho) the way crypto works ..anyway my view

people are impatient throughout any market that allows them to make profit. i consider these people to be yolo investors. they just blindly invest in something they don't even know anything about. for example now with the upcoming block halving. every noob thinks that the price will rise "a lot" due to the block halving. they only don't seem to know (or maybe they don't want to know) that the price may also go down after the halving. i believe in a rise but i am realistic enough to know that it also can go down. i am prepared for any situation.

rise or etherium ended, bubble popped price will stay around 0.01 btc

ethereum wont grow too much in my opinion, it is more or less based on bitcoin and its price is dependant on bitcoin price

As I'm posting this, Ethereum is still going through one of the greatest speculative bubbles any altcoin has ever experienced and in the meantime BTC/USD's volume is down while the price is rising.

https://bitcoincharts.com/charts/chart.png?width=940.1666660000001&m=bitfinexUSD&SubmitButton=Draw&r=90&i=Daily&c=0&s=&e=&Prev=&Next=&t=S&b=&a1=&m1=10&a2=&m2=25&x=0&i1=&i2=&i3=&i4=&v=1&cv=0&ps=0&l=0&p=0&

People said the start of the year would be a safe time to buy because of the upcoming halving but that was too early, and it's still is. 420 is still above support and there's no guarantee that the coming of the halving is going to secure the price in the meantime, especially with the interest of speculators currently shifted onto Ethereum's bubble at large. You're never too safe with bitcoin.

Ethereum is not exactly in the bubble mode. There's no Willy-bot and there is genuine interest for it.

You are right but I think you can go long for sure, because the point is that the price will increase slowly, and I think it will jump in the future in a couple years.
Also there needs to be another halving in the future and that will most likely gonna happen in 2020 so that is also a thing why you can go long.

People said the start of the year would be a safe time to buy because of the upcoming halving but that was too early, and it's still is. 420 is still above support and there's no guarantee that the coming of the halving is going to secure the price in the meantime, especially with the interest of speculators currently shifted onto Ethereum's bubble at large. You're never too safe with bitcoin.

Ethereum is not exactly in the bubble mode. There's no Willy-bot and there is genuine interest for it.
most people are just throwing their money into it in order to get more easy money with no efforts thats why the price is getting so high right now

i think it will fail pretty soon and we will see the recover of bitcoin price to the new heights, though those are just my predictions to be honest

Sounds about right.

A friend of a friend, came to me last night asking if I knew anything about this stupid alt coin ETH.

He told me hes got $1,000 set in to blow hoping it would go up like bitcoin. I dont know people are dumb sometimes since they dont there homework.

Its not that bad time now. So why are people so negative. That is very bad. And they should know that it will rise in the future.
But all what we need is patience. And just wait and see for what is going to happen with Bitcoin.

yes etherium is rising now, but i don't think that we should stop focusing in bitcoin i mean etherium may rise now but who knows that it will rise in near future too?

while bitcoin will rise because of halving so we can be almost sure that price will rise

what you have quoted is from one month ago (19-2) my friend
ethereum was pumped to 0.0353BTC and is being dumped ever since (0.025 now) and just FYI that is 300 million dollar down in market cap.

that is why i say ETH days are over, and only thing left in its market is some random bounce backs

eth bubble is ended, it will remain there for a long time now, they wanted to secure the 0.01 mark, that's it, i don't see another great bubble coming for it in the short term

any alt struggled above 0.01, even litecoin it was dumped at the end, and eth(as a currency not platform) does not offer anything above it

Eth aint just some alt though, its different.. dapps and smart contracts will rule the world. :D
I believe this is a bit off topic. Supporting ETH, especially if you are invested, is  a nice thing, but you should limit yourself to the ETH-related topics.
It has not that bad time now. The value is not even that low so why are people so angry about it.
You also can see that the value is rising slowly and that is very good. But I hope that it will rise for a long time.
We all know that. Because the price is now a bit stable and that is not good for the most people who already have Bitcoin.
We are all waiting for a good increase and we all hope that it will rise for a long time so we can get later a huge profit.

If the price of bitcoin is less volatile, it is good for it to be used as a currency. I just want the price to rise 30% a year.

Being stable is good from time to time, it allows the market to regain it's cushion to buffer out extremes in trades which can crash the market if not absorbed properly. Although yes, there's less margin for day traders to play with.

Top altcoins are rising, but bitcoin is more powerful, what do you prefer, pump or real "digital gold"?

Who cares about trader gets small margin? They can trade altcoin.
If price is stable, merchants and some people might be convinced to use bitcoin.

Ethereum is -2.74 % down today.
Hope this does not go further downwards.


Investors and big holders will get bored and dump their ETH. It's just matter of time.
But, -2.74% isn't something that makes you worry because it's usually happen with bitcoin price.

That is right. I do not trade and I just mine. But I will keep most of my coins so as to make big profit in the future.

altcoins are not growing a lot even though there are some growths from time to time and i doubt that they are always just pumps as ethereum price grew a lot from its start and it is pretty stable right now

i believe its a pretty good time and pretty good chance to go into bitcoin for a long time because i believe its price will surely grow a lot in the future and make a lot of money for the people who will hold it confidently
