Yup, somethings just a tad off :D but in regards to Bitcoin, when the crash happens Bitcoin will look stable in comparison.

Bitcoin's price is under the down pressure, why scares off the majority of normal ppl. From the picture , we know investing bitcoin is the worst one comparing with the others.

yeah now bitcoin under pressure, but i hope bitcoin bounce back on date 1 jan, like this years.

well atleast its not as worst as LTC -80%  ;)

Yeah, table speaks by itself, but if you invested in BTC, you also doing something with BTC, so I think you can have also profit  ;D

Yes , the data tells everything , and as I know,a lot of altcoins even lost 99% value during 2014

Yes it is , another article explaining why: http://qz.com/312598/bitcoin-is-the-worst-investment-of-2014/

ifit was earlier than 2013 then , investment was useful :)

Hopefully it will be the best 2015 investment!  ;)

Well this year BTC hasn't been the best investment, but I believe in the future that could be turned around.
I never had faith in most altcoins so I'm not surprised to see so many of them fall.
Dat litecoin though...

What I find interesting is that so far any time Bitcoin tends to do well Altcoins go down, when it does badly Altcoins go up, there have been some crazy rises in certain coins lately if you dig around past all the clones and the like.

This is only the beginning of Bitcoin. You cannot say it is a bad investment at today's price. In two years time, you will kick yourself for not investing more. Like some people here who wished they bought more at $30 two years ago.

A single example refutes the proposition. I give you the strong bolivar. It's bad.

Does anyone feel the way I do and wish the price to stay as it currently is, with a gradual, steady increase in value for the whole of 2015? (I guess there will always be $30 ups and downs due to whales moving BTC, but it's swings and roundabouts, right?)

This would help settle the nerves of investors that worry that Bitcoin is going to "fail" and also allow those of us with a modest amount of BTC to gradually buy throughout the year with what we can afford monthly; effectively using Bitcoin as a savings account, but an investment that isn't controlled by dishonest banking establishments.

Can anyone see any flaws in this strategy?

I think a lot of other threads pointed out that investment in bitcoin was worst this year, only oil was at the same level.
Rest of the investments were better,

To me it was a great year.

Made some good profits with day trading this year.

I hope next year will bring us much good and some level of stability.

But Russia gained some territory and 2 million population. Is it not on long term only about that?

And yes. It seems Twitter is same shit as BTC, Oil and Ruble. :)

Yes, if you buy at high price & suddenly the price falling down  ;D
Anyway, next year will better than this year

The people who bought at $3 or $5 or what ever it was at the start ? couple of cents?, Those people are happy I bet :/

I am not one of them...lost all mine due to err sleeping pills we'll say :]
The depression from loosing them all has gone now which is good lol.. helpes to stop going on forums etc..


Don't hear much abour bitcoin on the news anymore.. It was quite frequent maybe 6 or 9 months ago..

The world is used to it crashing. It's been happening all year, so it's not really news anymore. I guess if or when it ever changes direction, it will be back in the spotlight

I agree, bitcoin is one of the worst investments to make in 2014 and start of 2015. I too, are looking into other coins as well.  :)

Not the worst for the start of 2015 , It has only been 3 months , and most of the people who invest into bitcoin do not really invest in it for the short term. The price has actually been increasing, so it has actually been a good investment for 2015.

2015 looks quite promising

Yes, it was one of the worst investments for short term and  I think mainly because of mtgox collapse not of bitcoin itself  failing - it was clearly overpriced at 1000+ for that moment and investigations confirmed that the price was artificially inflated. 2015 might be different though :)
I was lucky to enter crypto in the second half of the year and I hope and predit BTC will reach 1000$ again but it might take a while... 2014 was also a year full of scams, but people learned the lessons and in 2015 majority of evident ponzi/scams should not bloom like they did just a few months ago... then the trust will rise once again and slowly but surely we will climb back and beyond  :) ;)

Exactly just giving you 1 year charts what about how far it has come from pennies? still well in the green. Granted that year there was a lot of unlucky people who invested but that is the game you win some you lose some but the game is still being played so no it is not the worst investment possible, litecoin is lol To add i don't believe that :)

This thread was created in December 2014. People who commented here earlier were just angry and sad because bitcoin price was dropping like crazy back then. While it is true that bitcoin price prior December of 2014 was a lot higher than current value of bitcoin. But this year offers new possibilities and price already stabilized itself. Bitcoin is one the best options for investors right now. Stop crying.

BTC is still in its development age and if it suddenly reach price levels of +1000$ you have to be cautious. Only steady and long term price growth could bring us to that limits, that could be a safe base to invest if you expect BTC above 1200$.
