I would try to buy some altcoins with it, and keep half of it just as an investment. Perhaps lend them on BTCJam?
Uh, I wouldn't do this at all. Well maybe a very small amount, but that's totally gambling. Hold. Hold. Hold. Hold. And then hold some more. I think we're in for more price-rising, so I wouldn't play the altcoin market much, and I wouldn't buy shit with it.

This has been brought up as a thread before. I've come to view bitcoin as something that shouldn't be spent, like gold & silver. But the only thing I ever bought with bitcoin was some silver quarters from Provident Metals, and that was last year. I won't be buying things with bitcoin any longer. If I get rid of what I have, it'll be for fiat, not for goods or services.

Financial journalists and pundits always try to explain every little (and big) price move. For stocks, bonds, gold, silver, and bitcoin. Sometimes there is no reason to point to, but they'll try anyway. And sometimes the reasons are just fucking stupid, as in the case you pointed out. I've learned over the years to take business reporting with a huge grain of salt.

OMG this is bitcoin--we've had this kind of volatility before. Why do people want to start selling when the price is falling? If you believe in it then just sit tight. Lower prices should mean a better time to buy.
|
|
|
Shut up and buy. If you aren't buying and already own some, hold. Don't sell when the price is tanking, that's a sucker move.
|
|

Safe haven. That not only implies it's safe, it means it explicitly. Bitcoin doesn't qualify. Look at what the price action has done in the last couple of days and tell me that's anywhere near safe.

Lol sell your eth, the bottom on that premined ipo scam is gonna fall out and spill blood on the streets.
Im pretty sure I should buy when there is blood in the streets ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Right, IF what you're buying is worth buying to begin with. Sometimes things get slaughtered for a reason. Would you have bought Enron stock back in 2001 just because it was cheap?

More sellers than buyers, that's usually what accounts for this. Bitcoin is volatile, but we all knew that. I'm holding and I'm not going to sell.
|
|

Bitcoin has been this volatile before. People are taking profits--totally understandable, and it happens in all markets. I don't know what thr halving is going to bring, though. Should be interesting.

If you want some fastest way to get high rank account, i suggest to buy some accounts on legit sellers just look some thread on digital goods ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . I also suggest that if you are buying high rank account try to hire some escrow to ensured that you are not getting scam ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . Why you guys are suggesting a newbie to buy a high rank account. it is completely you are supporting and encouraging spamming here. he is just a newbie and don't even know how to and what to posts. first he should learn about everything. do you think the forum developers are stupids to make these ranking groups? if a newbie get a high rank account, he'll surely get b banned by posting unsubstantial posts.. A new user would be a newbie because first he should learn about the forum and they way of posting. and it will almost take 2 months. after two months it will become member and a member can join a signature campaign easily.. I do't think 2 months work is bad for earning good money here. Well said. People don't think of the consequences of telling some non-english speaking noob to buy an account. It's not a good idea for anyone. You're right, it encourages spam and account farming and all that crap.

I think it will reach 100k-200k satoshi if the dev starts delivering the promised goals. Right now it's at around 40k, I expect it to slowly climb as people dump and new investors see potential. It's honestly a good idea and the people behind it some serious, but saying it will be worth $20 is ludicrous. I don't see it outgrowing Ethereum.
Anyone know when Polo is going to add wave Not looking good as it was a shady launch Most of them are shady. Their mere existence is shady, and waves should be no different. Boy, it's at 40k sat right now, along with Lisk. I wasn't expecting quite a drop, but it doesn't shock me in the least.

Yeah, there's no accounting for why people buy shitty-ass coins in general. Is eth supposed to be dead or what? I don't read crypto news, since I don't understand 99% of it anyway. I'm sure it's all the bagholders keeping eth afloat.

Yes. I personally guaranteed to double the money of multiple Balkan warlords by 12 tonight. If I don't then the nanobombs coursing through my bloodstream turn me into something resembling a pizza dropped from the Empire State building. Looks like it's all over for me.
Klaus Kinski is spinning in his grave. KK would have loved bitcoin had he lived to see it. This is just a speed bump. You can't rocket to 780 from 430 in a matter of less than a month and not expect that. But whether bitcoin goes up or down, kwuckduck's line is the same.

Just bought $20 worth, with the intention of holding. We just broke $700 on the downside so I'm not betting the farm.
|
|
|
What chart are you watching and what is it telling you? I see we're now at 706, and yeah that's a pretty good correction. But I'm holding. Bitcoin has been thru worse than this.
|

Whatever it is that's trading on Yobit--I think it's the actual coin--is getting slaughtered. I haven't checked poloniex or any other exchange. Today is the first day of trading, right?
|

I hold bitcoin as if it were precious metal. You would sell gold to buy the Lamborghini, and I would sell bitcoin likewise. I really don't think bitcoin is going to catch on as a currency, but who knows.
|
|
|
Well we can all dream, right?
Don't know how many people still have coins mined in 2009-2010. That guy paid 10k btc for a pizza, and that's basically how bitcoin was viewed back then. And if there are btc millionaires because of holding coins for years, I haven't seen any here.

Exactly 1 day before the Bitcoin Halvening I am gonna take a dump
Exactly one day before the dump, I am halving a beer. Lol eth. I suppose if you were going to buy, now would not be the worst time to do so. If. If. If.
|
|
|
Well there was no news to account for the rise, was there? The halving isn't news. And there is no news to account for that drop. It's just market forces in action, that's all. And as I write this, we're back at about 760. Crazy.
