Title: So it's fair to say bitcoins are worth $5 bucks?
Post by: Blackout on October 01, 2011, 07:09:15 AM

This is the longest run I have seen where they are pretty much stable at 5 bucks with a little up and down movement but they have been at 5 bucks average for a month now.

Agree?

Nope just because it hovers around $5 for a certain period of time does it make it worth $5 at all.  The time window you are looking at are far too narrow, IMHO.

The price was under $0.01 for much longer.

Set!  How many bitcoins do you have?  I am willing to buy them all up at $2.51 :)

We're not anywhere near term 'stable' but they're worth 5 bucks at the moment =) can we find at least one person who is certain the same rate will be in a month, two, six, etc.? we're not even certain of tomorrow as it can shoot off the charts in either direction at any moment

I prefer the term 'cheap' to stable. Wait for it...

Bitcoins are worth thousands of dollars. We'll see how long it takes for people to realize this :)

If you realize it already, you can buy all my bitcoins for just hundreds of dollars :)

I agree with the OP, if anything it has hit long term support. I've bought in for the first time, 15 BTC initial investment.

I figure if it's a little more stable now, maybe it'll be more useful. Of course, trying to sell a lot of coins at once in such a shallow market isn't going to work very well, so I'm limiting myself to only a handful.

I agree with this.  problem is I have to give up about 2/3 just to pay the electric  :(

I think the very bottom is cost of electricity to produce..  so roughly 3? 3.5?

Looks like nobody is making money off these things due to electricity costs... but Hey! Atleast we are getting expensive video card hardware for free in the end ;)

I can see it now... everyone that was into bitcoins now turns into a "Used Video Card Retail Store" LOL

You can already see the effect on prices for used 5850s and 5870s. A local forum where I usually buy my second hand stuff is getting flooded by ex miner cards, and they are going cheap or not getting sold. Im holding off a bit longer, when the real fire sale begins. Then pick up a bunch and hopefully enjoy a profitable few months if BTC price starts to rise and difficulty lags enough.

I like the price range BTC has been sitting in recently. Not too little, not too much.

Crap, too bad, I'm in USA. Shipping kills the savings. Thanks

I seen a 5870 on ebay last night for 175 usd.    that is about the same.

Well in July we pretty much had the same thing and look what happened.

Exactly. Look at the last 10 days of July. At the time everyone said that a bitcoin was worth $14.

No.

It is fair to say bitcoins are worth $5.

or

Bitcoins are worth 5 bucks.

But it is not fair to say bitcoins are worth $5 bucks.

5 seems like a nice number.

I bought a big crap load when they hit $4

It's difficult enough to set price on bitcoin, isn't it? Why don't we just say it is worth $100 for all of our sakes?

Good idea, I agree.
Now, you want to buy my bitcoins?
:D
