Bitcoin Forum

Guys,

Since the last peek of 500 USD few weeks ago, the value is stable around 350 USD.
Its changing on hourly basis, we saw it again 3 days ago.
What do you think need to be done now, lets take 10 BTC as example.

Sell the 10 BTC for the current value - as the price is going to crash
Keep the 10 BTC and fund t buy another 10 - as the price is going up soon

What do you think ?

Holdng it like it will make u the next Phaoroh of Egypt  :)

Time to hold, because if i sell, the price will rise.

It is really hard to decide whether you but or sell your bitcoin because if you use BTC as an investment it will be so risky
To make profit you simply buy low and sell high , but with bitcoin to spaculate the high and the low is quite difficult

you said it yourself, the value look stable at 350, so it's time to buy, i'm quite sure "they" are playing the same range 330-380 as it was with the previous trend

maybe wait some more, because right now it's dropping, and then decide, but at this range everything seems a good buying opportunity

Dont think like a day trader, with 10 BTC you ll achieve nothing.

Think like an investor. In 7 months time, we ll have BTC block halving. This ll halve the supply of BTC, permanently. What do you think is going to happen with the price?

There s your answer.

Whether it's a good time to buy or sell really depends on your plan and perspective. Are you a day trader or more of a longer-term investor? Whatever you are, just make sure that you are trading using a reliable exchange so that you won't get any unpleasant surprises.

I think you should buy bitcoins the halving will increase the price of bitcoin a lot.

if you only have 10btc and lack fiat. and worry that its your life savings... sell half..
then if it drops you have $1750 to buy cheaper coins later.
and you will still have 5btc if the price rises..

if you only have $3500 and lack bitcoins, and worry that you might miss the boat or worried your buying too high.. buy half
then if it drops you have $1750 to buy cheaper coins later.
and you will still have 5btc if the price rises..

in both instances you will still have 5btc if the price rises.. and have $1750 in the bank to not panic over

but

if you have 10btc and alot of fiat, so that $3500 is not a great loss.. HOLD

Just hold, and you should buy it if you have more money. Just wait and you'll see how much profit that you earned ;)
Well.. if you need your Bitcoin for real life purpose, selling is not a bad idea tho.

Thanks for the advises guys :)

Summarizing all comments i have got to this: Better to keep your Bitcoins or maybe sell them ? LOL

I guess I will just wait with the 10 coins and see whats next. Its part of side project we are running with 3 different groups, we call them the optimistic, the pessimistic and the miners. Each reports on weekly basis what they will do next in case they will have extra 10 BTC in hand and we record all the comments into sprint file. ( Already holds 79 weeks of recording )

So again, thanks for commenting

Don't sell. No one can predict how and what can happen with the price of bitcoin. If you will sell exist one probability (may be big and may be few, no one can know that) that you lose all your bitcoin if the price don't go more down than it is. Even if the probability may be very few, exist. So better hold than risk. If you don't sell you for sure will have your bitcoin. For sure. They will have big value with big probabilities, beginning the next year (after halving). Don't consider bitcoin as a "tool" to bring profits in short time. This is a wrong approach about it.

The only thing that can break this rule is a sure investment with it. But must be sure. I lost some bitcoins in such kind of way because thought that the investment was sure. But wasn't such. Told this example to give the importance of being "sure". It is sure when you are convinced 100% that your bitcoins cannot be lost. Otherwise only hold and try to find more. Or better to invest in new cryptos which can have future. See and evaluate their data, their philosophy, their support and their plans. Naturally of the owners. Are risky but the earnings (if does everything ok) can be colossal. Much more than the game sell/buy which cannot be predicted in any way how can be.

It all depends how long you planned to go with Bitcoin imo.
It seems you're not in for the long haul otherwise you wouldn't ask to sell or not.
It's difficult to give you a decent advice as the price is going up and down more wild at the moment.
If I would be in your situation however, I think I would hold the 10 bitcoins you have and maybe buy a bit more, but not 10 more.Follow the price the next days to 2 weeks and decide on that.
I believe the price will go down a bit this month due to christmas vacations and new years evening.
So accumulate and wait!
 

For me it would be extremely risky to sell this close to the halving.

As you can see even lots of negative news like bitcoin with criminal, france attack, silkroad etc price hasn't gone down like hell as bitcoin has get more mass adaption than before. If no-one manipulates the market i don't think there is any reason to go it down. So just hold it and sell at new ATH price.

Buy and HODL! ::)

I managed to sell a nice part of my stash at 450's and some more at 420's I brought back in some last night and will continue to all the way into 2016. It will be going up for the halving and you want as much as possible for that. I hold what I have left  & buy more over next few months. I won't say what you or anyone else should do but you know what I'm doing.

It depends on what do you want to do with your bitcoins, if you go long as long time investment and you think that price will go up its time to buy. If you have your bitcoins bought on lower prices and you think that bitcoin will go down sell them and buy at lower price.
I'm here for a long time investment, and so i will not sell at this prices.

Looking through some graphs the other day I found a place in 2013 where the graph looked identical as it does today, except after this smaller 2nd dip the price continued steadily increasing until the mega bubble. Not very scientific, I know, but I think the fundamentals are there to suggest it. I think if you can hold for 6 months to a year then you should just buy now. It could collapse like last winter but it would rebound eventually. But if the price just continually grows from here on out then you'll never be able to recoup that opportunity cost. Of course theres a risk of a total meltdown so plan accordingly.

Heck if I new this for sure, I would make a ton of money in no time! Seriously man, nobody knows this! And asking yourself these kind of questions will seriously make you go crazy since you will either lose big or win big. For this, you might as well roll a dice with your 10 BTCs, after all you have about 50% chances to win or lose.

I think your chance to sell this time around has passed. I would hold unless you think it is going to go back to 240 ish which I don't so I won't be selling anytime soon. It's time to hodl and buy more.

Time to buy more and more. Seriously if you have money you should buy more Bitcoin. We knew 200$ is too cheap last year, now we know 350$ is too cheap. In 2016 we will see 400$ as the new ground.

time to buy and hold, before the price reached $400, because I am sure we will be back to $400

My opinion is that never sell bitcoin if the price is below the $1,000
Since the bitcoin price is rising now it is better to buy and hold them for a period.
Then maybe in the near future (before or after the halving) to sell all of them.

It's time to hold and/or buy.

I wouldn't sell at this price, you'd probably wouldn't make a lot of profits of off your bitcoins right now.

Selling wouldn't be very wise to do right now. It's best to hold or buy more bitcoins if you can.

I don't think you would make a lot of profits if you're going to sell right now.

Save then, upcoming halving, so price will rise to sky, so you shouldn't sell your bitcoins now, wait for price rise

Funny you are saying it now :) as we just published 90 BTC for sale on the exchange platform for 420

Its true, the profit you will now get with trading is not much, but if the people have the patient to buy them now and wait till it will rise to a high price it will. In my opinion we just need to wait for the right moment to sell them, maybe after the halving has been done.

First as for me is very risky to try to speculate with bitcoin. Cannot never predicted its price. Don't exist any kind of reliable data which can give enough info to make possible the prediction (even estimated one) of the price of bitcoin in time. Can be told only that, normally, must be an increase of its price after every halving because of reasons easily understandable. Bot this happen only one time on every four years. So cannot be taken as example that can allow to tell that the price of bitcoin can be foreseen. This as about the bought and the sell of it or vice versa.

For the remaining I remain convinced that bitcoin cannot be sold in our days. Only bought and stored in some wallet but mainly used to invest on it. There are several ways to invest. Maybe not all will have good end for the person who will invest (so maybe for the people who cannot chew the "losing" it would be better only to save those :) ) but there are good options to invest it. Me for example have lose several times but only one made recently are making me "rich". So worth always to try.

It's nice to buy before halving, since it will happen in ~4 months, so it's good time to buy as many bitcoins as you can

Time to buy i think, media, china rises price now, also halving will rise soon, so buy now and sell later for more

Its time to buy your bitcoins, right now is the best moment to buy them because they are low.
The other plus point is that the halving is coming.

i'll buy it now for my last money that i can spend, it's just perfect time to buy bitcoins now because their price will rise

seriously so If you're looking to buy, ask yourself "Can I afford to see the price drop back to the 350$ or below?" If the answer is no, stay out.

i think that most probably it is the correct time to hold it all right now as the price is growing really fast

i willl buy most as  i can now, to sell later for larger price than i boguht now,always nice to get more money

i also keep buying as much as i can. i buy $100 worth of bitcoins each month. i will continue doing this till the price reaches $500. after that i will stop buying each month and just enjoy seeing the price go up.

Its of course enjoying, but its pure on what the bitcoin market is doing, the price is headed to the good way and the halving is coming.
I think the future of the bitcoin is pretty bright, so selling your coin now would be stupid, you should do the opposite of it.

keep 10 and buy 10 more, becouse price is rising atm, so it's nice to have some bitcoins after rise

You should follow klee's thread on PnF trading (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1064374.0) good work. Most traders do not follow PnF so that may give you a leg up.

Yes it is now time to buy I think. The value is quite low so I dont think it will be smart to sell it.
I hope later that the value will increase so we can sell it for a good price.

Well i'm buying them now, you should buy too, price rises eachday so you wiil grt profit later

Its time to do buy,sell or even hold. Whatever you do you will be profited. This can be considered. Bitcoin will be increasing which will profit on selling also profits while holding

I agree with that. For the long term, the bitcoin will be adopted more, so the price will rise a lot. It is good to buy now.

well personaly, i'll wait few days and will buy them, because later price will be much higher then it is now, so you should buy them too now before price rise

And what if the price goes up very high in the comming days? Then you will pay more for your coins while you had the chance to buy at todays lower price. Don't wait and buy now!

I personally believe that any time is good to buy if you can afford it.
If you can't, you can just hold on to whatever you got and sell later for a higher price.

i dont think now it's a lower price after hit $440 price slowly goes down maybe will deep than before. i mean price probable goes down to below $400 soon

I think ita time for waiiting, i have no idea whats hapoening to price right now, we should wait 1 week and see if price will go down, if yes then it'S good moment to buy

Price is stable at a moment, but I believe this is the good time to buy, as the price is 420 at a moment, so I don't think it will go below that, so good time to make some investments.

The bitcoin price is trading with a range, from $400 to $470. So you can buy at $400 and sell at $470. Repeat the process.

I guess not the right time to buy, because now is the right time to collect and hold bitcoin, because maybe in a few months of bitcoin prices will rise

well thing is, that price is pretty huge right now, but you still should buy now, you may ask why, well it's because of halving, if you won't buy bitcoins now, later they will be even more expensive because everybody buys them now, so buy now and be happy later

We hit 430 about 10 hours ago, right now it's at 425 and declining slowly. Definitely a time to sell, let's say we sell 10 bitcoins for 425 right now and it goes down to 415, we're looking at $100 profit. Not too bad, profit is profit, much better than losses.

we going up. next pump will take us over $600 and we will settle around $530 and start next wave up.

Buy low sell high

Buy in November of 2011.  It was nice and cheap then.  Sell in December of 2013.  You will make a nice profit.  Don't buy more than you can afford to lose.

That is some good amount of profit for just 10 hours of waiting  :D
I bought over 1 bitcoin last night, but should of hol them until today instead of spending them right away.
Never thought of getting into exchanging but with this $10-$15 increase in just a short amount of time, I am tempting to start it.  ;)

for now ill just hold bitcoin that i have and not buy or selling it , only increase it with trading some alts 

I will also hold bitcoin. The price is still too low to sell. I will wait for the price to be at least $2500 to sell.

Time to buy is when you see the price below $375, but that's not easy to happen...
Time to sell is when you will see the price above $500 - $550, just sell it because it won't go far above than this unless some people really inject something huge in BTC, as the market cap is getting more and more bigger and it is getting harder for even big dogs to manipulate the markets as everything is distributed now...

Any price below $400 offers a good buying opportunity. I have been buying the majority of my coins between $300 and $350.

At this point my selling target will be around $500 and after that I will place buy orders at $450 to $470 range as I believe that the price will drop again after reaching $500.

Time to hold.  Too many good things happening with bitcoin, I dont see it going down much below 350.00.  anything under 400 is a good buy as others have said above.  A good strategy is to continuously buy in small increments that work with your own budget.

The best time to buy is when the price is low and around $300 or lower. The best time to sell really depends on how much you did spend on it. As long as you can make a profit any is good.

holding is indeed the best option, but this only counts for people that have already bought their coins and don't need to sell them any time soon. those who haven't bought yet must do it now as the price is very likely to increase while we are heading towards the block halving. stop waiting and buy now as you then don't risk having to enter the market at a higher price point.

I think that it is the right time to buy now. With halving just around the corner, there is no better time to buy Bitcoin. Except for when it was a couple of dollars......

Yeah that's true, this time is the right time to buy bitcoin, or else, we don't have any reserve in our wallet when the price increases fast...But it is still considerably good to sell coins right now  as the price is not yet moving up fast...

I think price will start to move up once we get closer to halving, as price is much stable now and even if it is rising it the rise is very slow, so buying now is smart move to make.

This is the right time to buy as mentioned. Just because of the halving around the corner every user will get confirmed profit within this year.

Well, that's true, this is the right time to buy and hold.. the price has nowhere to go  but push upward until halving... price could still dip but I don't think that it will be felt anymore as everyone is looking forward and not to this days..

People that have already Bitcoin must hold their coins and that can be perfect, but people that has not Bitcoin now around this time than they can make an investment fast.
There are a lot of people that is thinking that the price increase will come soon so if you want to make some profit you have to make an investment now around this time.

But selling is not good around this time, because the value is not high enough to make that good profit now.

Now is not really the time to buy coins because the price is slowly moving up. If you want to sell bitcoins this can be a good opportunity for you the price is still climbing. You can make a nice profit if you sell it for the right price.

No mate this is still the best time to buy, price is not too high and if you buy with current price then you can sell at much higher price at the time of halving, and this is not the right time to sell for sure.

Yeah this is definitely not the right time to sell your coins, you can buy coins or wait till halving the price will rise to some great extent, at that time sure you can sell your coins.

I think it is the time to buy. As long as the price is below $450, it is good buy. The price will rise after the halving.

it is time to buy as long as you can get your hands on cheap coins we are still in cheap coin territory ($459 at the moment of typing this) soon the price will be $10 more and $10 more the next day until it is going to start flying up and that is when it is going to be too late and buying then meas the smallest profit.

Than buying will be better this time because selling is sin for you because the value is not event that high to sell it so you wont also get that much profit of it and that is bad.
So if you are now making an investment than the chance will be also higher that you can make more profit later.

Yeah, if you are planning to buy then you should buy it now, as price will be higher in coming days, so if you buy later on then it will reduce your profits drastically.

Well, this time you should check out the situation. maybe this time bitcoin prices rose slowly, maybe you should buy little by little, because we do not know when the price will go down. but if you dare to take risks, you'd better buy a bitcoin now, because most likely bitcoin prices will go up soon

I think it is the time to buy. Even if the price is $450 now, it is still cheap compared to the price in 3 months.

It highly depends on the type of trader.

Short term traders buy and sell constantly to make profits while a long term holder just buys at a certain price and keeps holding it till it reached the price he is waiting for.

If you haven't bought any coins yet, then I will recommend you to do it right now before you end up buying at +$500 prices.

I am a long term holder. I bought some bitcoin in 2013,2014 and 2015. I did not sell the coins. I just used some.

Right now its still better to buy if you ask me because the price is now still pretty okay to buy and this will change soon or later because of the fact the bitcoin is growing and the halving that is coming this year.

The price pumps today, so it is better to sell now. Or it is still better to wait for the halving just make sure about it if you really want to get sure profit.

Those who have been holding till now will most likely keep holding their coins till the block halving as we are almost there. If you sell now you may very well regret it as the price is more likely to go up the coming weeks.

There are going to be a lot of people who are going to start holding their Bitcoins now, and we are seeing this with the price. It is slowly inching upwards, and this is a great thing for all of us. The halving will hopefully amplify the value in the future, and I am certainly holding my Bitcoin to see where everything goes. I think the halving will be an incredibly profitable event.

My opinion is save your bitcoins now, actually i have only one reason for save the bitcoin, because of halving, i think everyone should use it and get profit.

hi sir buy low price bitcoin and sell high price iam believe  you fropit week/ 0.2 play 10 btc

I think its time to buy now. And selling time will be near the halving or at halving when the price will be higher. But but  you dont sell at halving, then maybe you lose because the price will come down soon after halving.

the time to buy is actually running out, the price has been rising for a very long time and it is rising at a very good pace. so with each day passing if you don't buy bitcoin you are losing cheap bitcoin and you have to pay more for it the next day.

The best thing that you can do now is that you must make an investment because selling now will be not that good because the value is now even that high so that is already bad.
But you have to also know that there are a lot of people is waiting for a price increase.

Exactly the price is rising now and today it has reached to $460 and may be tomorrow it will be more higher, so don't waste time and if you want to buy then buy it now.

It's definitely the right time to buy at the moment. Just before the halving.

Get stuck into it before the price goes up further :)

The closer we come to $500, the lower your pre-block halving "pump" increase will be, but people don't realize that for some reason. I can already see threads like "Is it better to buy now or wait a bit more" pop up when the price is reaching $550-$600 at some point. :D Noobs keep always waiting.

If you wait for price fall now then I don't think it will happen so try to buy as you will see higher price everyday and if you don't buy now you will regret in future.

the price situation is not clear for me at all. I do not know is the current pump is going to continue or not. so I only keep in btc what I can afford loosing

i think that now it is pretty good moment to buy, because of halving, price is huge now ( 460$ ) but compared what price there will be after halving, it is worth to buy bitcoins now

and i don't think that you should sell your coins even if price rises now, you will get small profit now only, better to wait for halving and sell then, because then you will get lots of profit

Yeah if you want to make huge profits then you need to hold it long but if you are satisfied with small profits then you can buy and sell on regular basis.

Holding will give huge profit if the number of bitcoin the user have is high. If user has one or two bitcoin then waiting is not the best thing. Its better to try to multiply the bitcoins.

In this year when the halving will occur we should not have to look for short term ups and downs in price and not have to waste any more time and just have to buy as much which we can, so that we earn a lot in the coming months.

That is true. Halving is going to be an interesting factor.

IMO, halving is going to drive the BTC price up a lot. I believe that is true.

The halving price is already set it I think it there is a little room to have the price increase more but certainly not infinite room.
Perhaps the price is meant to stay under 500 dollar for now.

Yeah price will be below $500 before the halving and it will go higher upto $600 at the time of halving, so try to collect as much as you can at a moment.

Yeah I have the same feeling that price will be around $600 at the time of halving, so better keep engaged yourself  in collecting  as much as you can.

$600 in July is possible. That is about 2 months away. We just need the price to rise 60 dollar each month.

I think buying is good thing now, but if you have bought your coins at lower price is past then I think you should sell some part of it at this stage.

Nobody will know what the value will be of Bitcoin and that is because there are still a lot of people are hoping that the value will be more worth in the future and that would be perfect.
And of course it is hard to know what will happen with the value but you need to take some risks with it.

Now is almost time to sell some of your coins if you want to it also depends on for what price you bought your coins if you think about selling.

i wouldn't want to risk selling this early as people will surely regret selling at todays prices. only sell at todays prices when you badly need the money in your personal life. if you don't need the money, then keep holding them for a longer time.

Bitcoin is going to be more worth so the best thing that you can do now is that you have to make an investment and that would be perfect for the future.
And maybe for you because than you can earn more money with it and that is nice.

He better trade is that where the trader wait for a long time for a specific price with that they can earn better while with smaller selling and buying daily will not make the trader to earn good amount and will take some long time in doing that.

Agree with you, the price $450 is really cheap for buying if we think about the price in the time when halving will occur, at that time the price will cross $700 and so the benefit to us is from whatever price we buy.

The problem is that even though the $450  is cheap to buy, the price will not rise too much in the near future.

If you want to make some investment in bitcoin then I think this is the time to do it, as price will surely be higher at the time of halving.

It will be better if you want to have some Bitcoin is that you must make an investment in it and that is because the value of the Bitcoin is not event that high so that is bad.
But they have to know that they must need patience for it until the value will be much higher.

If you don't have patience then you can never make profits in any investment, if you think that bitcoin will make you rich in quick time then that is simply impossible.

if you really believe that soon will occur da halving make bitcoin prices higher. This is an opportunity to buy bitcoin as much, but I am sure this is not the right time to sell bitcoin

i would at least wait until the halfing and not sell before

I agree with this. The price will rise a lot after halving. This might happen 6 months after the halving.

I think that is the right thing to do, as selling now is not profitable as price seems to be low now, for me this is the best time to buy some bitcoins.

I think its time to buy them right now because of the halving that is coming later this year, most likely the bitcoin halving will be profitable.
Due to this fact its better to buy them these days.

It just depends on the price where you have bought your coins at.

If you bought at $435 then selling right now isn't really worth it.

But if you have bought your coins at prices below $300 then you can definitely secure some profits at current prices.

i actually think that now it is very good moment to buy bitcoins, and buy as much as you can because of halving, you will be able to sell them for much larger price than it is now

and then it will be a sell time, after halving, because price will be large, some people even predicts that price will reach new ATH, more than 1000$ so it will be awesome moment to sell

After the bitcoin reaches the previous $1200 all time high, it will continue to rise to maybe $2000.

I think buying is still profitable! so don't hesitate to stack some more bitcoins.

I will do the same. I am using every penny of spare money to buy the bitcoin. If the price is low, I will buy more.

If you do that for the next 10 years and accumulate more than 10 bitcoin, you will be very rich then.

I will try my best to buy and hold at least 10 bitcoins. I might buy more if I have more money and use some.

Do both.

IF the market price has been decaying over time - its a sign of people just saying they accept back at $400-500 as the real sense of price.

Even after the whole halving scenario lol.

I would still prefer to buy at a moment as price is comparatively good to purchase some coins and will sell onl when I see the price of $800, not before that.

im buying my bitcoins right now to be honest because i know that the price of the bitcoin is definitely going to grow a lot pretty soon, that would surely make bitcoin more popular

i think that its a really great time to buy all your bitcoins because after some months it will be a good time to sell all your bitcoin in order to make some good profit from the bitcoins youll buy

In this moment btc is up for 4.85 %. Like I was talking for days btc will grow, and its happening. Fluctuations are normal thing for btc price, traders earn huge money from this ups and downs. You are asking to buy or not, time has passed already. For trading you need to have feeling, to catch lowest price to buy and highest to sell. That's how things works.
Now is time to buy, we will see over 800 $, but be careful about it.

Right now I have no idea whether or not it is a good idea to buy or sell Bitcoin, it might be better to buy and wait, or just wait until the halving is over. I have a feeling the market won't move a whole lot from this point, and we'll be looking at high $500s to low $600s for the next few years, unless something amazing happens and we all get lucky.

Maybe the coinbase-paypal deal will increase the value, but I have no idea.

No one has any idea. If you have spare money buy some, if you don't have spare money then don't buy any.


This isn't a get rich quick scheme anymore. We all need to be patient and stop panic selling at each small dump.


- Buy bitcoins

- Store in a paper wallet

- Get on with your life

- Return in 2020 and see where we are at.

If you now already have some bitcoins you should just hold it and do nothing, you should just have patience for the profit of your other bitcoins you are having right now.

i doubt that the price will rise a lot after the halving event because people will be dumping in order to make money

i think it is surely the best time to buy now because before the halving the price of the bitcoin is going to grow

That's true if you cannot afford to buy at this stage then don't sell it too, as this is not the best time to sell, hold it for next couple of days as price will surely rise at the time of halving offering us best profits.

For the bitcoin, there is no good time to sell unless there is a very big price bubble like that in the late 2013.

It is now time to wait and to hold on because the halving is coming pretty soon and most people are waiting for what the price is going to be after the halving.
Maybe the price is going to drop and you can then buy some coins for allot cheaper so I suggest that you wait a bit longer.

As the halving days were much closer, its better to buy as much possible because most predictions have mentioned that there will sure a big increase in price. Sometimes this price might even has the possibility to touch 4 digit value.

thats true in my opinion it is always better to hold your bitcoins than just sell it because the price can go up any second and in this way you can make some good profit

to be honest i think that it might be surely the right time to buy your bitcoins right now with the free money you have right now, i think that in this way you would have potential of making even more money

Holding is indeed way better you can now just hold your bitcoins and make some nice profit with just this.
Also another fact is that if you are holding there is a good chance of making some good money with the halving that is indeed coming.

Yes even I am holding my coins for halving hoping that price will be higher which will help me in earning some extra profits from it, as investment at this stage can be turned out to be risky.

Its not really the time to buy right now with holding you can way more profit right now, due to the fact of the halving.
What people said about the halving is also true buying right now will not provide you a lot of money.

I think the price will not drop due to the halving. It might raise the price slight soon after the halving event.

The halving will not have any immediate effect on the price. In the long term, it will raise the price slowly.

sell or buy now maybe it all depends on the path you take. maybe if you're in need of money and do not have any business, it may still be better if you sell bitcoin do you have than to help it. and maybe if you believe that soon the price of bitcoin will rise in price of $ 1,000 might be better if you buy it today. Well, it all depends on what steps you need.

of course it is the time to hold your bitcoins because i think that the worth of it is going to grow significantly pretty soon i hope

The question can be a bit tricky, Anyway is somenone decide to buy,he/she should not expect to sell immediately.

the price didnt drop and that is a really good thing because if the price went down a lot of people would have sold it i think and that would have been really bad i think

I think that this is time for neither. If you don't have BTC right now, don't bother buying.
But if you do, don't bother to sell either. Not worth it at this stage.
Holding is the way to do it right now in my opinion.

It is the time to buy bitcoin, as halving has been occurred so now after that the miners will leave mining and with that the supply will be reduced and we will see a big increase n the value of bitcoin as with limited supply people will buy at whenever price it will be available.

of course it is time to hold, i think that it always a good time to hold all your bitcoins, because the price is going to go up pretty soon, i always buy my bitcoins for the future

Yes holding a BTC is nice idea, because halving just approaches, and it has a high change of growing rate in this days....., but I think the rate is all determined by the uses, if we use more the demand will rise and so the price of BTC, So holding BTC for long time may lead to loss, so lets Use some and hold more :)

Bitcoin is holding its own with relative ease. Prices remain high, and there is still a lot of potential for a value increase over the coming weeks. so the better option is neither to buy nor to sell, holding the coins you have seems good at this moment.

As of now it is the good time to buy bitcoins because I really believe that the price is going to increase after few months.
Because the halving did happened.
For sure before the end of the year the bitcoins you have both today can give you profit.

I think it is still confused to buy or sell. but I had been hold before halving. so I will not buy and keep hold. the price is still very stable and possibly also the price may fall when the people who has hold before halving sell their current bitcoin.

At the moment it is best to hold on to your coins because we do not know what is going to happen after the halving but if you have bought for cheap then you can sell right now to make a profit.
I am just going to wait for after the halving the I will decide what I am going to do.

we are after the halving and days have past it :)
i think this stable price is a good point to buy bitcoin becasue it has been resisting the dumps very well so far and this can be the launch pad for the next big rise that can very well be moon.

yeah, the halving has passed already but i think that the price of the bitcoin is going to grow a lot in the future so most probably it is best to buy your bitcoins right now

Upon checking the price of bitcoin today is somewhat increased and that's a good time to buy bitcoins today. Because I think that the price is going to keep on rising in the end. So as the price is still low, this is the time for buying bitcoins.

The bitcoin price is very stable recently. It is trading between $500 to $750 for some time, good for the future price rise.

i think its good time to buy more bitcoin because bitcoin rise up its price too much faster day by day and bitcoin will be more stronger and powerful currency in the world than other currency .

The bitcoin price should rise in the next few years when more people start to use it, so it is better to buy now.

I think so. The bitcoin block chain size will be increased soon to 2MB or higher, so more people will use it.

i think that it is neither right now as price is very stable now, and it is too small to sell bitcoins yet too large to buy them, but this is my opinion only

the price will rise slowly throughout the years. a lot people may not even notice the growth as they focus too much on peaks and stuff. these people will also be the first to start complaining that the price didn't go up much, while in fact the price has gone up like 50% if you look at the longer term charts. that's however something they don't see.

In the past 12 months, the bitcoin price rose more than 150%. I think it will also rise more than 100% in the next 12 months.

as the price of bitcoin remain stable in 650 USD lever for a month or so. and the price do not crash as some people were expecting it. so i can say that now the price will take another loop and will increase may be reach to 1000 USD at the end of this year 2016.

I think it is good time to buy some bitcoin now. The price has dropped over 30% from the recent peak of $789.

I think for me its not the best to buy right now because we dont know if the hackers from bitfinex still holding a lot of bitcoin.. and i think the price of bitcoin will be decrease again soon.. better to wait more weeks to see that the price still not decrease and buy after clarification..

Did not know it peaked that high. Just saw it at $720 before all the halving took place then after the bitfinex hack dropping to nearly half that much at $420.  :-\
It has been a rollercoster ride to say the least in the last month or so. :-[

Yeah price is going up and down in last one month and we can expect same in coming days, and everyone is hoping to see higher price so its better to buy some coins at this stage.

I know the thread is a bit old, but we may be on a crucial moment for this year's evolution of the Bitcoin price.

Because of the Bitfinex disaster we had a dip under the important mark of $550 (and even 500). But it did not last long. In my opinion it got so deep because the bid order books of the other USD exchanges (BTC-E and Bitstamp, mainly) were not able to manage the selling pressure after the bad news. That was a bit similar to the situation in April 2013 when MtGox halted trading after the crash from 266 to ~120 and Bitstamp dropped to USD75.

If there had been another USD-based exchange with a similar volume than Bitfinex, the dip would have been less important.

So the mark may have been broken or not - that's the question. We must wait how the market reacts in the following weeks. Fundamentally, the Bitfinex hack is bad news for the Bitcoin community, as it's another drawback for the trust in the project. So I think despite of the bullish last 48 hours, price may turn down again soon.
