Post by: XXthetimeisnowXX on April 15, 2013, 09:59:11 PM
just to let ya know...as you already do, bitcoins can swing all over the place. sell at a loss and you could wake up tomorrow to see it rise 40+ dollars per BTC. just saying stay savvy and hold some.

I can not understand what it is that's making people sell right now. No fundamentals have changed as far as I can see. The protocol has not been breached. There is no new legislation banning bitcoins. More and more merchants are accepting bitcoins as payment.

I guess it's just herd mentality.

I know I will be holding for the long run. Actually considering to force myself not to check prices for a year or so.

People are selling now because they are scared and they want to get out.

The smart people are buying now with the intention of holding for a while.


I bought at 10, didn't sell at 265 (well, I sold 1/15 my stash at 200) and plan on buying more.

Bitcoins are on sale now!

We bears all sold above 200.

The word "all" doesn't really fit in to that sentence. Some sold at 5$, some at 13$, some at 30$ and some at 200+$.

I think most of the sellers sell in hope buy cheaper.

This, people have been looking at each other what to do for the past hours, now the trend has set they "know".

Haha making fun of you, everyone knows us bears got out at $230.  I just bought some at $71 but, holding off to go all in for a few weeks probably.  I'm only poking fun because you guys are so silly.  I love how people beg everyone not to sell on the forums trying to prop the price.  These forums never stop being entertaining.

One does not stop being a bear when selling before the top, just when selling after it.
Selling too early and buying back is part of being a bear, just as selling at the top is. That's why it's still profitable.

Bulls make money, bears make money, but not pigs, pigs just get slaughtered.

I was a bull at $27 and a bear at over $200.  Only one or two people on the forums are permabears and one has to wonder, why they hell are they here?  I think they are trolls.  As for permabulls well I tend to call them Ostriches.  ;D ;D ;D  That's ok though Ostriches please keep the heads deep in that sand so I easily profit again during another bubble.

thought you guys would kill me in this thread, but truth be told i sold half, not cash out just so i can catch more coins on the down slide. all in the hopes that i get more coins overall. we will wake up one day and bitcoinity will be flashing that "new all time high" thing with mike Jordan slam dunking again. till then ill get a few cheep coins.

I truly think that once we get the market exchanges worked out, the merchants worked out (allready a lot though) and the public properly educated on such a dark corner geek thing this is going to truly change the world. calm down patience =payoffs

btw geeks change the world

1) Sir Tim Berners-Lee-----------inventer of the world wide web....whatever that is.
2)Ralph H. Baer ------------------father of the video game
3)Ray Tomlinson------------------inventer of Email
4)Bram Cohen-------------------- how you now get your music, movies, programs, apps, e-books, and porn
5)steave jobs----------------------dont personaly like apple.....as i type on an apple. bwahahah
6)Satoshi Nakamoto-------------- REVOLUTIONIZED MONEY! yes kids we really did use peaces of paper back then to buy somthing. ya it was silly and the government would take your peaces of paper for any/everything.  "why didnt grandpa buy more bitcoins when they were only 200? they are worth 100,000,000. now?' well everyone was scared back then about loosing a few dollars, they didn't realize they were so silly, and that they would be so happy and have wonderful lives if they would have just got a couple.

ok ill stop.  ;)  ;D  :)  ::)

I'd gladly take the $40 gain while not holding. That might be one of the signs I'd take to buy and hold rather than trade.
