Buy now as early as possible, Cause bitcoin price now is low, Then sell it after halving. That was only my opinion :D

I'm in the process of continuously buying and holding for 70+ days because of the halving.

yes waiting at least 2028, before deciding what to do with my coins, surely i would not dump them, at best i might begin to use them in mass if the price do not increase substantially

No, Price is not low at the moment. Its already crossed 470$ and going up. There was a time when it was around 385$, near the start of the year.That  was the best time to buy it. You can still buy it now as price will keep on rising till halving

depending on the situation. for now I might buy while bitcoin prices below $450.
but generally I prefer to make a quick trade and make a profit every day.

I don't think anyone would just go "buying bitcoin a little each week no matter what the price is at". People tend to analyse first whether it would be worth to go long with bitcoins or not. But with the current trends, it is believed that it is worth investing in bitcoins alone as it nears to become a currency accepted by the world.

I mine the altcoins and sell them for bitcoin. So I have a constant flow of bitcoin coming my way. I also spend some to buy graphics cards.

Ok so what do you guys think is going to happen after the halvening if everyone dumps their bitcoin onto the market?   I will be watching from the sidelines in a lawn chair, smoking a cigar.

I buy everymonth $100 worth of Bitcoin since the price was around $220-$250. I will continue doing this untill the price reaches $500 and then I will most likely stop doing so as I then have more than enough coins.

Depends what you want to with it.Keep holding or do the short term trades.Personally,I use bitcoins for daily services ,not really interested in using it as an investment.

If you have a good amount of coins in stock,you can invest in something good or might just lend out on daily interests basis.Don't wait for halving as someone people suggest here,the results are unpredictable for now.

Well I do not buy bitcoin continually ie each week because i do not need so often to buy, but i do trade on regular basis when i think it worth trading, also besides this i also consider bitcoin as an investment asset so i expect the price to be higher that it is now by the end of this year or a year from now.

Of course I still will try to acquire gradually more bitcoins, although I would prefer to wait for a price below $400 to exchange dollars for bitcoins, but I hope this current bullish trend is not irreversible!

Post by: Junko on May 07, 2016, 11:55:59 PM
I am very long on bitcoin. I will continue to buy and accumulate while the price is under $1000. Maybe I will sell some after the fourth or fifth or sixth halving. Maybe.


Title: Re: is anyone going real long with bitcoin
Post by: pooya87 on May 08, 2016, 03:37:24 AM
yeah, i am somewhat doing the same thing. i mostly have bought what i could invest last year when the price was low at $220 and mostly the day it went down to $180-$190 and since then i have bought some in the dips and when some temporary drama is causing newbies to panic sell, i am there to buy.

I am also going long with bitcoins. Although i buy at low and spend at high but i will be staying with this currency as i believe it has great potential to be the world greatest currency ever.

Yeah, I put a little of each paycheck into it. A fixed dollar amount, so the amount of coin I get is variable. Is that what you mean?

Its still concidered low though the fact that bitcoin was once 1200$. I'm not sure if during halving the price of bitcoin will reach $1200 but I think the price will significantly go high. Everyone is speculating this already, that is why they are buying too.

Then that's not LONG at all. A good number of months isn't considered long, except if you meant that going long is around at least 60 months. Going long means investing in bitcoin for a REALLY long time e.g. 10 years. Although that's not really long. In fact, that's actually normal length for investments.

I believe it the time has come that a lot of people are waiting it. because now bitcoin is in hightest price and i think it is good for us, also that halving is coming after 46 days. So wake up and ready to get profit and enjoy your life.
But secondly bitcoin's journey is not finish in this time, it will be continuously live with us, and we always use it and invest it.

I am here since last 2 years and the journey is still on, my journey will end only when bitcoin will die or disappear in future, but I don't think that will ever happen  ;D

I don't buy every week, but I earn every week  ;D
It's more profitable than buying. but if you can't earn it, you can buy it.

I am not going to wait so many years that is just way to long for me. I think that I am going to quit way sooner with Bitcoin because I am just getting fed up with waiting so much.

Post by: Altcoinsupporter on May 24, 2016, 02:34:49 PM
There are a lot of people that is waiting for a higher value and that is because it was already stable for a long time but that have to change also so we can sell it with a lot of profit and that is nice.
Of course it will be really hard to know what is going to happen with the Bitcoin but you should also now that it can takes a long time when the value will be higher.

There are gonna be some people that will go for a long term, I personally will not going for the long term due to this year will most likely be good and profitable.
I also need the money plus I do not have the patient for it.

Post by: amacar2 on May 24, 2016, 07:16:57 PM
Buying is out of my reach as there are no any active exchangers here where i can buy but i always try to keep holding whatever bitcoin i earn doing some developing task and other task till i really don't need money. I don't like to exchange whatever coin i have.

Yeah and you need to keep on playing with them on shot term to gain more benefits from it as no one is sure what will be the price of bitcoin in future.

Post by: zimmah on May 24, 2016, 11:35:06 PM
I am not buying each week but i have been buying regularly whenever i could afford to spare some cash.

And yeah, i don't really look at the price when i buy them, the price is pretty irrelevant, as it will rise a lot anyway.


Title: Re: is anyone going real long with bitcoin

I bought some bitcoin in 2013, I did not sell when the price was $1200. I did not sell anyting at all.

Bitcoin will be the future payment method and there are also now a lot of people that is hoping that the value can be more worth because that would be really nice.
But of course it will be really hard to know what will happen in the future with Bitcoin but the chance is high that it is going to rise.


Title: Re: is anyone going real long with bitcoin
Post by: Etemind on June 11, 2016, 02:02:56 PM
I don't buy bitcoin that often because i'm not rich, but i don't have plan to sell my bitcoin.

I will try my best to buy one bitcoin a year. If I can do this for the next 20 years, I will be very rich later.

It depends on oneself I guess.
It could be profitable to save your BTC in the long run.
I like to save BTC for the future savings, not so bad to choose the right track, and no harm it will cause to you.

Yes. I have a separate cold storage just for hodling which I plan not to touch for a long time. At the very least not before the 4th halving
All other crypto are just for quick profit (mainly because there's nothing better at the moment)

I buy a specific dollar amount every week.  When price is up, I get less.  When price is down, I get more.  It is called dollar cost averaging and is a very good strategy for establishing a long position.  I've been doing this for a little over a year and my average price for the coins I've bought via this method is $350.

The nice part about bitcoin exchanges is all fees are percentages, so it makes no difference if your weekly amount is $5 or $5000.  I highly recommend picking a small dollar amount you can afford to spend and buying each week.

I think it is good idea. When the price is low, like what happens now, you can buy a lot more, 20% more than a week ago.
