Title: MtGox Price Post by: KB5988 on October 26, 2012, 12:56:28 AM Okay, so I'm still new to Bitcoin, haven't even been using it a full week yet. I have noticed, however, that the value of 1 BTC has dropped nearly a full dollar in the last couple days. Is this normal or is that a bad sign?

Looks like it is climbing back up so just hold on to those coins, or buy some more while they are cheap.

I kind of wish I'd sold some a couple days ago so I'd be able to buy back a small amount more. I just wanted to know if this is something that happens normally or whether it's something new.

I'd love to be able to see the Volume of BTC trades and such over the last week or two. I wasn't really paying too much attention, but I don't recall it being at 88000 BTC.

Title: Re: MtGox Price Post by: Quantus on October 26, 2012, 03:14:45 PM The Bitcoin price drop is a result of many many things. A major Bitcoin bank shut down, a report that said 70% of bitcoins were owned by hoarders (study was flawed but still makes no difference if Bitcoins are seen as a investment) and The coming Bitcoin block reward halving has people on edge. There is also Christmas coming up and new ASIC that people are investing in.

I've bought one gift already with bitcoin and have plans for a few more.

So, Tuesday/Wednesday would be a good time to sell on Mt Gox generally? Title: Re: MtGox Price Post by: 420 on October 28, 2012, 02:00:55 AM Thanks for all the replies as well as the links.
