So who sold < $230?

After seeing it go up my co-worker finally bought in at $204 (about 10).

After it then dropped to $180 and came back up he sold it all at $205.

:)

$267, playing the BTC rally song now!

Trading BTC just for the exchange is not for the fainthearted.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect many responses... I keep seeing people falling past my 20th floor window. I'm guessing that it related. :D

I sold about 80% at 180usd, after buying it in april at about 240... ah well :D

I sold some <$230 a few months ago.

I sold at 120$. Life will never be the same again.

Really Spider? That sucks! Have you bought any Bitcoins back when you saw the price was going to rise fast again?

$120 Was probably the worst moment in the last year to sell your Bitcoins ^^

I sold and rebought at a nice profit. Does this count?

I did the same exact thing, bought 1 at $146 and 2 at $200, then sold all at $205 expecting another drop to 180.

oh well

Bought about 70-100 btc at 115 avg price adn sold off some at higher prices and 50 coins at 200 each.

I had to sell some coins off as too much of my net worth was in btc. Its nice to be rich but I dont wanna get their being stupid. You gotta diversify somehow.

The rest of the money I make now is gravy.

You can never go broke taking profits ;)

It's just another bubble dude, don't get your panties filed up headed for paradise just yet. The market has proven itself to have a pretty hard crash after steep inclines.

Bought at $2, haven't sold other than attempts to sell at the tops of the spikes in order to buy back at the real bottoms. I never really sell at the top, just after it. Same goes for the bottoms. Managed to make more BTC.

I sold half my coins at 205 and 185.   I still made out pretty decent.

I still have half the other coins left.  I am thinking of cashing half out now, hold the other half.  Diversify my risk, get some ROI is my game.  I have a feeling BTC will hit $500-1.5k a coin one day, so I will always hold onto a few coins.

i bought all mine at $115, pretty sure I called the low...

I bought and sold a lot below 230$. Last time I bought at 278$ and within 5 minutes I sold at 309$, got really lucky.

I sold 500 or so for 119.99.  On the positive side I bought a fantastic car.  But yeah, I do look out the window and see that I need to add $200k to the price of the fucking car.

I sold some below 230 and sold my last coin around 250. Stupid, stupid me.

erm, me. @200. :o
Was quite thrilled tho, had reloaded for Seals @ 115-125/BTC back in July.
Drawback now is that it's less volatile [soon to to be less expensive] to play live poker 4 cash now.
So I'm back to freerolls only.
And I still have 260 chippies [0.26 BTC] @ Seals.
Which might be worth >230 by xmas. we'll see.

I'm sorry for you guys. I learned this lesson to never sell my coins long time ago and now if I have a feeling to sell coins I prefer to buy shares of sites that pop up everywhere and invest there instead of just selling. Now I'm just buying bitcoins when I can no matter the price.

Exactly that!  To be precise, I already bought some stuff for BTC (which is somewhat equal to selling), but I bought the coins back immediately.  I also sold some at MtGox to arbitrage a bit, but again only after buying them at Bitstamp.  (With a European bank account, I can actually receive withdrawals - slow and only small amounts, but it works and I don't have that much money anyway; mostly for fun.)

Most of my BTC (not that they are that many, but may still be worth something if it goes on like that) are in cold storage, though, so that I definitely don't get into the temptation to sell them anyway.  Just hold (most of the coins) in any case to be safe. ;)

I don't wanna talk about it. ;) I've been through worse shit in my life so I'm really happy just to be alive :)
p.s. 120$ is still decent amount of fiat. I won't be starving for a long time ;)

Hehe allright. It's fine as long as you ain't starving. Allthough, I guess you could live a bit more luxerious life if you sold them now at about $300 each. Karma is probably going to solve your bad choice!

Thank you sir!:) I know a hundred ways to earn money, but the speculation isn't my strong point. Good luck to you :)

For most folks, selling a little bit on the way up is a good plan, along with buying a little bit on the way down. I prefer the strategy of selling 1% of total BTC for every 5% rise in price from the last buy/sell, and buying 1% more BTC for every 10% decrease from the last buy/sell. It feeds the speculation urge, but doesn't cause one to lose sleep at night.

sold 5 BTC at 150 each only some weeks ago
still not used the money.
could fully pay my next semester if i had hold

Haven't thought about such tactics. I guess I would go all-the-way untill I predict an huge incoming dump. Are there websites where you can use that strategy automatically? It does make sense. And I love my sleep.

Yes I'd also love to hear more about these strategies as I have full time job and cant constantly sit around trading coins.

I sold most of my btc at 190.  I kept on expecting a big drop in price. Yet, BTC looks stronger than it has ever been and then some.  I'm fearing that might not be able to buy back in without taking a loss.  I'm still surprised at just how stable it as at the price these days.

Now I'm in the slightly uncomfortable position of being a huge, huge fan of Bitcoin yet hoping desperately for a price crash because most my investments are suffering at this high price.

I know that feeling. I bought some coins at $86 in the SR brief crash. Then when the price went all the way up to $200 I thought, damn, this has been a fast rise, then it went down to around $175 and when it was in $182 I sold everything making a good profit. Then it started to rise more and, you know, someone always thinks sooner or later it has to go back down, but if I had hold now I could have a much better profit.

Now I think I'm going to buy when the price gets corrected and hold some months/years.

What have you guys learnt from having sell bellow 230?

Don't worry. There's pretty high chance for you to buy back at a price lower than 250. Exceptional fast increase always follows with a large correction.

This rise isn't anything on the order of the $32 or $266 rises. Yet. If this thing goes to $400 or $500+ in the next couple of weeks, then it could see less than $250 for a FEW MINUTES at some point in a flash crash.

Otherwise, barring really bad news resulting in a flash crash from current highs, I do not think we will see $250 again.

And I sold a lot at $40.

~.~

I will never forgive myself.

I hold over a hundred at $3.  That shit was triple what it was just a few weeks before :P.

I bought mine at $15, (before the $32 bubble), literally forgot about bitcoin until I saw it back at $28 again, got excited, watched it go up to $40, and sold. And then rebought half of them at $90. Just WTF.

My only hope is to catch something like the $266 -> $60 fall again. That way I can quadruple my Bitcoin holdings and call it a wash.

sold 350 at $180  :(
sold 50 at $312
sold 200 at $294
sold 50 at $309
sold 50 at $305

At this particular moment we can say, who had sold <$300 or even $400?  Unbelieveble! Where is this going to end?!

With such increase it will hit the $500 in no-time!

This is a good example for the people that don't believe a deflationary currency would work - I've had similar thoughts over the last few weeks (thinking about the cool stuff I could buy if I cashed out some coin) but because I don't really need anything right now I chose to sit on my BTC and wait until I do need something. Consumerism in a deflationary environment is bit alien, but there's no inherent problem with it.

If the price properly goes to the moon then I probably would cash out some and buy a nice ride, but it's gonna need to go a lot higher before that happens...

Next year:

Yeah, but it levels out eventually and at that point it becomes stable enough for commerce.

Sold 500@ 5$. Lost 50@ Bitcoinica / Intersango clusterfuck

If you would excuse me please, I will now have to go kill myself.

Sold my small holding at 211  :( sucks

i sold half a coin.. oh well.

at least i didn't take "expert" advice from a friend who knows little about BTC. i told him at 145 that it was rising on a high, and he told me i'd be stupid not to sell it at that price.

bump  ;D

bump (for mtgox ?)

LOL nice memory.
