Title: After the rain comes sun
Post by: matt4054 on July 10, 2013, 09:03:29 PM
When the market is bullish, everyone sits down and relaxes, watching their asset value grow. Easy ::)

When the market is bearish, some people panic sell. Some are even losing money by selling lower than they bought (or for miners, less than what they paid for to mine it, TCO-wise). Some are holding but quite pissing their pants. Most are hoping that "someone do something". The legal matter regarding exchanges are getting a lot of focus, obviously.

Some developers are willing to (finally) give Bitcoin a true economical value, and it doesn't have to be in the form of a classic exchange. We have exchanges already, we just want them to be more solid, or we want more solid ones (and remove the GoxSPoF™).

These developers are currently (still) sitting down, and coding. Many Great Things, Bitcoin-powered, are definitely going to happen in the following years, even months.

I'm not saying that USD/BTC is going to stay up again in the short term, I'm just staying that as long as your are not really in need of the money that you have stored in bitcoins, the safest bet you could make at this point is *holding*, even if the upward trend doesn't last in the near future.

Just my thought for comments ;D

Cheers.

Here's a gratuitous bump from the bearish days last summer when BTC was down from 260 to about 70 for a few days.

Am I the only one to think there's a pattern to be continued here? ::)

No Sun please. We need to completely get rid of horrified get-rich-quick guys messing around bitcoin.
I also need to dump my freshly earned fiat. Guess $400 floor would be fine :)

i think bitcoin will rise again within a few months into something bigger stronger and more stable as always. its exciting to see the trend come again and we will see history repeat.

For those of us that have been involved a while the dips are still a bit painful.  It does get easier though doesn't it?  I felt more panic in the Summer than I do now, even though on "paper" my losses are so much bigger now because the value of Bitcoin is greater.  I think we see the power of Bitcoin though and know it is just a matter of time.

Bearish market shake the weak hands but if you are here for the long term you don't care about the bear market, you might just buy a few more coins

Nope the longer your here the less concerned you tend to become about the price but instead focus on the fundamentals so you are not alone  

Shake the Weak Hands

So it looks like 400 was a solid bottom? :-)

Yes I must say that I totally agree with this ;-)

It is time for new layers to come over the blockchain...
