If I hadn't vowed to myself to stop trading with leverage, I would short Bitcoin right now at $450. A few more days perhaps of Bitstamp circlejerk trade volume and then down we go.
thats encouraging then  |

The seminal discovery of this defect has profound implications for all cryptocurrencies.

I've bought a lot in the last month. Managed to catch a $400, $375 and $350. Now I just need it to go up before summer vacation since it's our vacation money. I love you two. I believe in bitcoin. I admire your balls and resolve. However, sometimes, I do think you have been at the crack pipe The funny thing is we are super conservative in most things. Never gamble, don't even drink and I don't think I have ever even seen a "crack pipe" and as far as investing in anything, I am super cheap. (BitchicksHusband is not as cheap and likes nice vacations as well as "quality" over quantity) That said, I think taking this much risk in Bitcoin would seem out of our character from an outsider's point of view. It is just that we believe in it that much. Part of "faith" is being certain of things you hope for. We are actually fairly certain at this point that Bitcoin will at least have another rally, or two or three. I think we really feel like there is little risk vs. reward here. And if the worst thing that happens with buying more coin this past month is that the kids miss out on a Summer trip to Disney World, oh well. It is hot and humid in the Summer there anyways!  I agree that its fairly certain that holding BTC for the long term is savvy move. The rewards will take car of themselves. The risk however I think is something you have to actively manage. I agree no holiday to Disneyland is not a bad thing, even though I'm probably more like your husband as I like a nice thing or two (I stick to the small luxuries though, nice food & drink etc). Over time I've come to see value in ensuring I don't (year again) end up in financial ruin - even if that means sacrificing a percentage of potential future returns. I say all this with the warmest of hearts, purely from a place of concern for my fellow man (and chick). I'd hate to see that one in a million failure scenario wipe *anyone* out least of all you guys. Who knows 10 years time we might all meet up in Risto's castle, I'll bring my bitchick and chicklets, and laugh at how I ever doubted it The only thing our investments will wipe out at this point is BitchicksHusband's early retirement plan, our trip to Disney World, and extra funds for my mission trip to India in the fall. We haven't mortgaged the house or anything really crazy. Pretty much life will be as boring as usual if Bitcoin fails. Thats reassuring  good advice to anyone else reading... I'm in a similar boat - by design - BTC @ zero wouldnt hurt me really (apart from emotionally!). I'm just lucky that I have ended up with a fair amount dollar wise invested in BTC already. Feels a bit like I'm cheating as I already broke even (and some). Even though selling up and moving on would give me a nice chunk of cash, its cash I never had so I wouldn't miss it. It's better off sat there. All the while I just continue to work (not too had hard mind), save and see if I can make it the old fashioned way |

Just a quick reminder for all you TA buffs out there that are convinced that it gives you an edge, you have 4 more days to enter, beat me and prove me wrong (my entries are pure probability based), and also take money off of Risto! What more could any bitcointalk resident want Prize pool is currently worth $565. |

You have never been in a fist fight in your life.
I guarantee you ... you wouldn't talk to me like that face to face.
I am done with this thread. You are a keyboard warrior who has never, ever punched someone in the face before.
Obligatory: do you even lift? FOR REPS! srsly though. mining is tough, i bought because the BTC i used were effectively 'free'. I still somewhat regret as I'll likely never get those BTC back. if you have USD to invest in bitcoin, best bet is to buy BTC with them |

I was late to the 60GH BFL party so by the time I got that I was never gonna ROI. Then I didn't learn my lesson, and signed up for a monarch (within a day or so of it being announced). My logic was, that this time, I was right at the front of the queue! Though that doesn't seem to be helping that much I hedged my bets on a batch 2 neptune from KNC... this also is taking its time. Still, one way of looking at it, is the BTC i spent was already negative cost basis, so it was all "free", I'll just not have as much BTC when the dust settles as if I'd just held... but then that seems to be a common theme. |

only ~$20k in terms of USD, however I paid for it all in BTC... so it actually cost me 75BTC.
about 80% of it (by GH/s) is still "in the mail".
Total return about 3.5 BTC to date.
WINNING!
