It never misses... Every time I buy, btc price drops right after. Why do I even try???

I feel your pain man.  It could have been worse and dropped much lower much faster.  At least you didn't buy that much.  I bought .65 :(

The price hasn't moved in several weeks... It's literally hovered between 220-250

Him and me are penny pinchers looking at the 5 USD we could have saved buying 8-24 hours later.  :P

If you are looking to save every penny then bitcoin isn't a good investment. It's going to go up, but it's also going to go down. if you can't sleep at night knowing this info get out and invest in bonds or something.

Are you serious, bro?

I sleep well at night, no thanks to you. I may be a penny pincher but I am not looking to save every penny when it comes to bitcoin. After all I have bought some at $600, so buying at $230 is no pain at all.

It's just the fact that EVERY TIME I buy, some a&&hole dumps and drop the price! It never FAILS. Each and Every time.

I know the price will recover. But, what if it doesn't this time?

$235 and dropping.

Looks like it's turning into a race to the bottom! Better sell while you can!

Another Lambchop alt I see. Welcome to my growing ignore list.

Dude, I am not going to loss sleep over it.  I am just a novice and tread lightly.  I have 1.5 BTC but all but what I bought today was from a much earlier period in time.  You don't have to be mean about it or anything.   

My advice for you is to stop looking at the prices and just hold on to your bitcoin. Invest what you can afford to lose

true that

Solid advice.  I didn't invest more than I could afford to loss.  Although it was very tempting to buy an extra 300 USD and beg a family member to pay my next cost in life coming up next month (700 in court fees).   ;D

Buy Low, Sell High, and learn from your mistakes.  :)

Another bulltard I see. Welcome to MY ignore list.

Welcome to my ignore list, bulltard!

Guys, yes these people saying to sell are dumb but they aren't going to effect the economy causing noobish people to sell.  They should just be called out and inform the poster that is new to BTC that they should not disregard that post. They are annoying, I do agree, but this forum seems to allow for their spammy "sell sell sell" or "buy buy buy" posts.

The price keeps on hovering between 220-250$, that's normal in bitcoin world. If you want to make profits then either indulge in quick buying and selling or hold it till December.

Dumbest thing you can do now is buy this stuff.
You should be selling or shorting. The big collapse is coming very soon now.

not much, you can hodl your bitcoin and wait for the next trend, no need of any operations at all

Just ignore these people who say a big crash is going to come.
They are just creating an environment of fear. Wait for sometime and you will see a lot of boost before next halvening which will happen in January2016, so the prices will shoot up in December.

You know that expectation is already calculated into current price right?

i just want to say don't sell at lose . price will be up and it can be today to tomorrow but it will up..we just have to keep patient just don't don't sell for 1$ profit ...i think you  understand what i mean to say...#ht

Didn't get what you were asking. Please elaborate.
Anyways prices don't change as you expect them to change, and nothing is bringing It down for a few months.

How will you feel when you buy at 240 and it drops immediately to 236?

If you're this sensitive to such a small price drop you shouldn't have bought in the first place.

Some people have held more than 10k btc from 1163 down to 152.

How'd that work out for them?
:D

Those people who have "HODL'd" more than 10k btc from 1163 down to 152 ARE just stupid. Very stupid financially. But then again, I look around me and there are people with low IQ here.

the price is the same for a long period, or maybe 1 dollar offset is a big loss.

that's just a 4 dollar drop man! Don't invest if you don't have the guts to face that drop.

They're not necessarily stupid or have low IQ, but they've been blinded by greed and the prospect of striking it rich like the early miners did. Most have little experience with investing or financial markets, so they don't understand the momentum of a hyped market like crypto currency and they want to believe they're "getting in on the ground floor".

When you start thinking emotionally instead of rationally (which is easy to do when money is involved) you start to filter out anything contrary to your belief, ie... confirmation bias. Hence all the "welcome to my ignore list" posts.

This is a joke thread.  If you bought close to February 25, 2015, 09:09:02 PM when you posted.  You have now gained from 236.64 to 237.55  If you chose to sell now.  Or just hold for a nice pump that always happens.

ther is no Gdo.

http://bfxdata.com/swaphistory/btc.php (http://bfxdata.com/swaphistory/btc.php)

Not sure shorting when Finex is closing in on the ATH is such a great idea.  Last time we hit ATH back in mid-January there was a pretty serious short squeeze.

Just stay calm if you would have watched the price fluctuate before buying you would have seen that it has remained stable low to mid 200's for around 2 months, just have a thought to the guys who brought at $1100 and then drop 100s $ within days do you think they wonder why they even try thousands out of pocket, yes they will but imo only if they invested more than they could afford to lose, the minute you brought bitcoin you should have smiled and wrote that money of then anything else is a bonus :)

Yeah I know that feeling. It isn't  a nice one, yet the reason of course dictates that there's most likely no correlation or causation at all between those two events. It's interesting that panic selling doesn't seem to be the wisest thing to do these days!

Done this, as well already. I don't quite recall which drop is was, but I just bought some BTC, and down it went. But I always kept my faith in the longterm-success of it. It's been an interesting ride, nevertheless and I believe it'll only get better from here on!

omg.  i just bought one satoshi and now i only have one satoshi.  i hate bitcoin

shite, it's now 253! I should've bought more!!!

https://i.imgur.com/eDC8jP4.png

I hope you're feeling good now.

Don't worry it was surely going to be countered when I decided to do a bank transfer to bitstamp yesterday... always goes up before the funds arrive ;)

I now spread out my purchases weekly on circle. Avoids payday disappointment. :)

Sometimes I feel like the market responds to my buys and sells. Seems like the price always goes in the opposite direction I expect it to. I should become a financial advisor and have folks follow my trades so that they can do exactly opposite of what I do. They'd get rich quick!

TT

DId the op sell his BTC  ? or is he happy now, that he bought it at that price is is not 4$ up .
Price looks solid today.

don't look at the price just hold on to it.. yah, try becoming an advisor and lets see what will your clients say about you :P

So he spent $60 dollars Wednesday night and woke up Friday Morning with 66 dollars worth of BTC.  Well, that tanking sure is good to you.

D

You can always buy another 0.25 BTC to average out.  :)

OP is busy spending his profit on hookers and blow  ;D

it's raising now, you made the right decision, but i prefer to dump first and buy later, if you have already some coin of course

Well now that buy you thought was low, looks hella good right now!   8)

Just don't day trade man, leave that to the whales.  HODL steady!

Aha, well if it works then it works and the means to an end are just that an it does not matter how unorthodox a system is if it works it works. You should try it with yourself just do the opposite to what you are thinking of doing an see how it goes, if it works offer your services :)

Bet now you regret you didn't buy more ;)

OP would've probably sold/committed suicide before the rise if he doubled down

So you sold? Nice move congrats. :P

Yay, everyone wins.  :)

I guess most people don't know how to read these days.

No, I have not sold the 0.25 BTC that I had bought at 237. You will have to pry it out of my dead, cold fingers.

5$ hooker ?  ::) Where are you from mate ?

Was it just a coincidence? Or is it your fate? LOL. Well it happens. Just to be sure, don't sell at a loss. At least try to get back and cover up what you spent.

That's the spirit. Never sell at a loss. :D

OP's luck isn't that bad after all.
Another few jumps like the current one and he would be jumping with joy.  :)

I just wish I bought more but it was my first buy.   :-[

There you go OP you have a little profit on your investment now, That is why you try because you got in on time and you picked a winner so it may have dropped right after you brought into it but then you got a nice little rise straight after this time so happy days :)

Vietnam.

OP might have just bought before a bull run!
He should keep his fingers crossed.

Bitcoin is long term investment (for regular ppl like me) so you dont worry. I have bought few coins at $500 and still think that was good investment. Now when bubble has popped i gues we will have small, steady growth just like before last bubble.

Given that you've lost half of your money, I think you're wrong.  Most folks like their investments to appreciate, rather than, you know, the other way around.  But I allow for cultural differences and diversity and stuff, I don't judge.  So if goal was to lose half of your money, it was a perfect investment.  Because in that case you couldn't have done much better--you did lose half.  Like you wanted to.
So in that case, please disregard & accept my heartfelt apologies.

Bitcoin is long term investment mate, only idiots dream of getting rich in matter of days and investing few thousands bucks.

I understand mate, but when an investment has depreciated by 50%, and said "investment" could currently be duplicated at merely half the expendature, well...  That's the sort of investment mates other than yourself call "a bad investment."
Long term or short is neither here nor there.

There is always a sense of regret - Damn, I should have invested at $200 instead of $300.

I just bought another 0.25 btc. Let's see if it tanks immediately or not.

So far, so good.

that is the human nature bro :). if you buy at $200 and it goes to $199 you regret buying in the first place and if you buy at $200 and it goes to $201 you regret not investing more. greed is good :D

Every time I buy 0.25 btc, it's been going up! Too bad I only have enough to buy 0.15 right now, not 0.25 btc.

If you continue to time it right you may make a little money, and I hope you have good luck with it, but remember how you felt when you started this thread, so don't get carried away unless you can afford to lose a little money without getting too upset about it.

TT

^^^^^^^^^

Don't worry, mate! I'm just playing with play money. Most of my investments are in Gold and other precious metals, very stable over the long term.

Quit buying so much. You are making the price rise to fast :D

OP, your luck is really turning now.  :)

Stop being impatience fool!!!!!

It keeps tanking!  When will I win?  :(

wrekt like a noob. Give me your coins kid, you're wasting them.

Maybe you are not ment to own bitcoin. No just kidding keep them and enjoy being part of the team.

Oh be nice fellas.

He must have bought some more. The price keeping going up. 

OP, I hope you're buying 0.25BTC every few days.  Ever since you started this thread on February 25th, this dude Bitcoin is on a mission!!!

https://i.imgur.com/5wmSuUt.png

Keep buying my brother!!!  Good mojo.   :D

Well don't stress too much about it mate. The price of BTC might be tanking right now but give it some time and you will see it will rise up to stable levels once more over the next couple of months.

AGREED!!

Keep buying stonerider!!

Thanks for the great chart, ChuckBuck. It shows not only very good BTC in the last week, but also it proves that most of the threads in this section should take at least one week perspective before starting screaming dump to $100 / go to the moon (it is actually similar for both camps).
Therefore OP, buy a little chunk every now and then, and that way you average the price, and in the end you will be happy with your entry price.
 

I'm tapped out. I have just enough to buy 0.18, not 0.25.

C'mon stonerider, you started this bull run with your thread on the 25th...can't be deviating from the formula!   :P

That said, soon as you can replenish, update us with your next buy order.  We'll probably be at $300 by then.   ;)

If we're really in a bull-market now, the times have begun where bears short Bitcoin and the price goes up because of that. It's so refreshing after this long winter...

Right time to buy more!

Let us know as soon as you gather the remaining 0.07 and put your next buy order.

We'll know it by going over $300!

Long winter indeed. I miss this times, this having been my first bear market! Hope it doesn't rise too quickly though, the rocket still has to load the fuel!

Normally I would expect some time of relatively slow growth, but with the BIT news and ETF funds on the way, that access to investment could mix things up for tumultuous growth sooner.

You never know. I feel that the price will correct itself once more, it will come down and then will go up, a lot up.

Hmm, that's true! The Winklevii did say the trust fund was due to come out this year.
Maybe we could have a 2013 kind of situation? After a long bear market, a bubble and some months after another one (in 2016, when the halving comes).

You guys also got that feeling an epic storm is brewing? I definately can see a 2013 kind of situation happening because of those reasons, shit's gonna blow up.

No China
No Moon
Not this year!

OMGGGGG! It's tanking again! Someone loan me 0.07 so I can buy 0.18 and call it 0.25!!!

You jinxed it dude!!  You better get a job and start buying that .25 regularly.   It'll be at 10k in no time.

I thought we would come in $ 300 today, but it was not this time.
But it will rise above $ 300, sooner or later.

LOLOL

I don't need no stinking job! I live in my mom's basement.

that's not tanking , it's just little variation in price, happens all the times

i'm still confident about the 300 goal

I think it it's starting to do down and will keep going down all this week. If it was going over $300 it would have done it yesterday.

Man you can always use more hotpockets :D

Not sure on that one - I think there was a lot of hesitation to continue rising so quickly up from ~$220, with the auction coming up today.

After the auction, we will see which way the trend goes.  But $220 -> $240 -> $260 -> $285 -> $270 seems like a healthy retrace after a few weeks of consistent gains.

I have advice for you op. Why don't you try to keep your BTC for a while when price will rise again? There is no need to complain, after all it is natural law of the market. Bitcoin price is volatile after all.

Next time ask your mom for 0.07 so you can make the full 0.25BTC buy and a side of meatloaf...

^^ This post made my day. And what is wrong with living in your parent's basement. I am doing it myself. Seems pretty good so far. Life is too short to worry about bitcoin price anyway, just buy it and enjoy being an elite.

China only joins when the rocket is already on track, smart people.
I also tend to agree we won't get to the moon this year!

"Next time ask your mom for 0.07 so you can make the full 0.25BTC buy and a side of meatloaf..."

Mom doesn't have 0.000001, let alone 0.07.  She's old school, likes cash and still writes checks at grocery markets.

I was just joking about the 0.07 loan, don't want no loans or anything like it. I won't be buying any more at this time. It seems to me that btc is poised for a correction down to 250.

Gonna play some GTA-V now, Ciao!

Argh!  Thanks alot stonerider... >:(

Classic buzzkill non buy...  After you've done playing GTA V and have some funds to get another 0.25 BTC buy in, let us know, so know when to anticipate another upswing.

You will have to wait way too long before you become an elite.
Nothing wrong in living in your parent's basement, though.

Even though I live in mom's basement, I still have bills to pay. Have to go to work at "Worst Buy" soon. When I get paid from my sale, I will have enough funds for 0.25. I will keep you in the loop.

try to get a free manner bitcoin without buying a dime
if any loss will not make you upset ;D lol

Pretty range bound at the moment. It's quite difficult to see the direction from here. One thing I expect to happen is that there will be a lot of of resistances if it starts to go up and I expect the price to retrace quickly once it touches 300. Looking at the order book, there is already quite a number of sell order put in place

What in the heck is a "free manner bitcoin without buying a dime?"

Are you talking about the faucets? Many of these are scams, no?
Are you talking about the online bitcoin casinos? I did try coinroyale but lost my 1000 free credit in about five minutes, and I'm a mean video poker player.

I think many of you are expecting and salivating at the thought of $300 bitcoin. Won't happen, I mean it won't stay at 300 for long. As stated above too many greedy small-time sellers salivating at the thought of making a $30 profit per coin.

I was thinking of buying but the price just dropped by $2. I was expecting it to go up, not down!

Damn. Hopefully it will rise an impressive amount. Then you could buy.

I'll wait until tomorrow and probably regret it. I sold when stonerider bought and I regret that.

I will be buying 0.25 btc tomorrow.

Holding on for the boost :D

HODL.
The price looks like it is about to take off.  :)

Wish I would have seen this yesterday. Buying now!

The whales are going to start watching your posts stonerider!

TT

Yes the price will take off If you start urging every seller to hold :P

Although people who get pissed off when the price goes down by 2$ should not invest in these coins.

People who spout obvious things should not make any posts in the forum. :P

I only invest in Bitcoins only, never any other crapcoins. :)

I need to start another post why every time I buy btc, it goes down a little and then almost immediately rockets up another 10-20?

Then do one thing. Start buying bitcoins everyday. In a month we will reach almost $1000.

Keep this thread alive Stonerider!  Keep buying those 0.25 BTC clips, we on our way homie...

https://i.imgur.com/V0Mxww1.png

^^^^^^
Sorry, dudes! I have no more play money to pour into this hobby. You're all on your own. Good luck to y'all.

Good luck to you too.  Put that on a paper wallet and tuck it away for a few years. You never know.. may have grown by then.   :)

ARGH!  No wonder we're stuck in this $290's holding pattern.  Well, I wish you luck stonerider!

If you somehow do decide to jump back in with a few more 0.25 BTC chunks, please post so we know we're above $300.   :)

LOL

The most stupidest topic in the forum and it turned out to be good and true.
