Title: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: Are-you-a-wizard? on August 06, 2011, 11:29:09 PM Sold out here, so I'm at a loss of $550. For the amount I had in BTC it was worth it.

Post by: the joint on August 06, 2011, 11:32:54 PM I'm up $138 after investing $100 of personals 5 weeks ago. 138% profit from trading as the price tanks...I'm quite pleased with myself :-D I'm sorry to hear about your loss :( I'm thinkin' bout solo mining from now on.

Excuse me for saying so, but I think (opinion) you're a complete idiot for not cashing out at $10, or even $8, or even right now. 75,000BTC? I lost a flash drive because of a bad soldering job. It failed and I didn't even touch the thing. Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: Man From The Future on August 07, 2011, 12:00:12 AM I've lost 0BTC so far, what's everyone on about? ;)
More seriously, no loss, yet. I don't intend to sell my BTC for USD anyway, I prefer buying game time with them, so I've probably made an effective game time lost, based on what prices people start charging... :( Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in?

Hopefully the prices tanks fully to the $2-3 mark (what I believe its 'true' valuation to be) so more non-speculators can gain interest and begin to actually build the economy rather than mess around with the price. Not that there's anything wrong with speculation, but I think it has hurt bitcoin as a whole to some extent. Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in?

I'm hoping that at $1-3 some investors that know that the hell they're doing pounce on this thing and make some intensely awesome and secure sites. Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: Bazil on August 07, 2011, 01:39:33 AM I'm in positive since I sold it all before it went below what I bought it at.
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: N12 on August 07, 2011, 01:46:31 AM 0, my average price is a bit over 1.7$. Not holding Bitcoins at the moment, I’m waiting to see if the early adopters (read early miners) finally fully realize their ridiculously high gains.
I also hope that this happens, I’m sick of the pump and dump game since its beginning at the exponential rise at ~3 USD. After this experience, lots of people will be burnt and we can start thinking long-term about Bitcoin’s future. Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: kiba on August 07, 2011, 01:47:56 AM I am going to hold more bitcoin.
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: BitcoinPorn on August 07, 2011, 03:48:23 AM Just time and effort so far. I'm not done yet. Still needing to get back to some people about things but too busy with stuff that pays bills.
Sucks seeing the market this low, but it also reflects highly on the confidence of those who may not be fully into all aspects of what Bitcoin represents and can do versus what I think is safe to just say security issues When I would more so say it is personal security issues and laziness in investing in self education. That will be the battle always with Bitcoin, making it dumbed down yet safe. Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: Sannyasi on August 07, 2011, 03:59:09 AM USD wise i'm only a small bit below what i had with a couple days ago in bitcoins..... but now BTC wise i'm about 50% more rich thanks my good luck on trade decisions so i'm pretty happy with how things are going atm
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: 1.21gigawatts on August 07, 2011, 04:00:41 AM You don't lose anything until you sell
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: CurbsideProphet on August 07, 2011, 04:05:42 AM Probably less than I'll lose in Vegas next week.
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: FlipPro on August 07, 2011, 04:16:52 AM If someone lost, they sure as hell ain't gonna admit it in here lol. :D
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: bitbot on August 07, 2011, 04:19:16 AM 400% gain
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: Ceejay on August 07, 2011, 04:22:53 AM I'm down about 2 grand less then what I started with. However when the price goes to 8ish ill be positive again. Which I'm sure it will some time. I bought back in between 6.60 and 7.
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: KMBTC11 on August 07, 2011, 04:41:41 AM Down in USD. Up in BTC. @ ~8 I'm black in both.
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: Ceejay on August 07, 2011, 05:44:22 AM I'm hoping for swings tomorrow. I always seem to work right when all the major action is happening.
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: elggawf on August 07, 2011, 06:38:30 AM I'm not out anything except time... I have a new GPU that's never seen the other side of 80C, I have a few new games to play, and they're all paid for with a minor investment in electricity and I think about 5 months worth of voice service given out... I gave out more than that in sponsorships to kids who asked.
Of course, I didn't stand to really gain anything measurable if it would have blown up to $100 either... Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: Oldminer on August 07, 2011, 06:41:19 AM My cash investment is still intact. I'm about 10% down in coins (all mined) on what I had 24 hours ago. The best trading is yet to come tho.
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: Ceejay on August 07, 2011, 10:08:23 AM Well I'm happy to say im positive again.
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: Oldminer on August 07, 2011, 10:11:25 AM Well I'm happy to say im positive again. Yea same - that was a nice little rally. Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: zby on August 07, 2011, 12:15:33 PM I have a 1200% gain (all from buying coins - no mining at all). I have sold everything a few weeks ago, but I am still waiting for the real drop with some money on MtGox.
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: Vandroiy on August 07, 2011, 01:08:16 PM Strangely enough, I never lost, to compensate I missed out on many chances by a hair's breadth. I guess that's what I get for being conservative -- should have traded more, taken one or two rounds losing to get more hits.
Tonight was when I got closest to losing -- it was really late, and I was moving an order SECONDS too late for that 28k unlimited sale, which hit my order quite far up. When I managed to roughly break even, it was 4am, then I slept through the neat rally with way too few coins. But no losses! :) Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: BoomGoesTheDynamite on August 08, 2011, 02:07:46 AM I was pretty negative like 2 weeks ago but after all these recent swings up and down I've done pretty well.
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: TraderTimm on August 09, 2011, 12:59:31 AM I'm net positive due to some trading and my low costs basis position in bitcoin. Love the momentary selloffs, panic dips are an ideal time to add to the core position I hold.
After the Dow and S&P indexes finish committing suicide, should be a fun month as investors flee the general market. Bitcoin isn't going anywhere, as long as the internet exists, it will be just fine. Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: RodeoX on August 09, 2011, 05:04:24 PM Loss? I long ago pulled out my initial "investment" and now make money with the casino's chips. I can't loose.
It's easy to be profitable here. Just wait for some unqualified rant about the sky falling, buy during the ensuing panic, then sell a week later when the price comes back. It works again and again. ;) Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: GeniuSxBoY on August 09, 2011, 05:06:23 PM It exploded $3.00 about 20 minutes after I went to bed :(
I lose. Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: Elwar on August 09, 2011, 06:57:16 PM I have lost about $2-3,000 over the past month. I got in at $14.25 with $10k on its way down.
I pulled out and jumped back in lower a few times. I have pretty much kept my same level of BTC but my dollar value has gone down. I had gone all in on BTC at $11 last week before everything went in the toilet. Wish I had kept at least half out in cash like I had been doing. My goal is 1,000 BTC then hold for the long term.

It works again and again. ;) Exactly. Problem is, I can't pull out since it's addictive, the larger your stash grows the more you earn on the swings. I guess I'll be pulling out once my bids start affecting the market significantly, need to stay low to play speculation :) Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: mobodick on August 09, 2011, 09:32:52 PM I gained 66% more bitcoin during the last week...
;D Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: Minsc on September 07, 2011, 01:59:41 AM I'm considering it might be worth it to simply not buy anymore bitcoins because they're going to keep falling especially during the cold weather season.
Title: Re: How much of a loss are you guys in? Post by: fcmatt on September 07, 2011, 02:52:40 AM I basically screwed up with a trade over the weekend and took a loss of about 40 bucks.
Thankfully there was a bounce up to almost 7 bucks earlier today to get out. I am all cash again with the small amount I am playing with. |
