Title: Time between high to low when the bubble bursted in April Post by: frenchie on November 07, 2013, 09:10:14 PM Hi,
I'd like to have some feedback from those of you who were holding bitcoins when the bubble bursted back in April. I guess it only took a few hours before the floor was hit, but what was your reaction ? Did you figure that you had to sell instantly ? How did the exchange websites reacted with the huge incoming traffic from panic sell ? Thanks.

My thought was best described by the famous four-letter vulgar "f" word. I encountered problems to follow the crash because the exchanges was under load. When I was back home, I decided to keep my Bitcoins.

Keeping this for the long run!

MtGox had some problems, it took many hours before your BTC could be sold at unknown low price Do not expect you will be able to sell immediately your BTC when crash starts Title: Re: Time between high to low when the bubble bursted in April Post by: xybersurfer on November 09, 2013, 10:17:09 AM i looked at that event a lot of times. it seems like the crash happened over several days. with the biggest drop in the first 2 days, so there was time to respond. here is a chart from bitcoin.clarkmoody.com

Title: Re: Time between high to low when the bubble bursted in April Post by: zeraTunerse on November 10, 2013, 09:17:05 AM I did not have Bitcoins at April, but it seems just holding Bitcoins is better option than selling with a loss. When I look at chart, you can never be wrong with this strategy
Title: Re: Time between high to low when the bubble bursted in April Post by: gjbronco on November 10, 2013, 10:52:54 AM According to the chart, it would have been best to sell on the first day if you could. You may have been able to profit or break even on the 2nd day. Otherwise, it was better to hold them. The first four days of the bounce were greater than the last four days of the crash.
Title: Re: Time between high to low when the bubble bursted in April Post by: Lauda on November 10, 2013, 04:13:05 PM Price seems to be correcting itself.
