If you read the thread, you will see that it was posted by Atlas.. who was subsequently banned.. and apparently a notorious poster.

We don't need to be that precise in our quote.. but at least our reference is the same.. probably you could say $1,160 or $1,165 or $1,170... and we will know what you mean...

But $1,250?  I know what you mean, but it was still a bit of a large rounding.. or just referring to the wrong exchange's price... I am NOT accusing you of misquoting on purpose or for spin.. .. b/c it seems you were merely making a reference to a quick rise to an ATH...

To save ambiguity, these days, unless specifying otherwise (which exchange you are referring to) we use the Bitstamp price here as the default quoted price. which was $1,163 as the previous ATH... NOT $1,250... you must be referring to some other exchange?

Bitchick:

I believe that your leg is being pulled - there is no extension of the fiscal year... most of the time the end of the fiscal year is going to be September 30 for those businesses using October 1 as the beginning of their fiscal year.  

I know of no exceptions to this, and if someone is describing an exception, then cite the source - or explain.

That is NOT a stamp price because the lowest stamp price today, so far has been $353.75.

Yeah... leave out religion and sex... Politics is o.k..   

Ok. that seems to make sense.  I know Bitcoin needs an ability to be able to get cash into the system quickly and through trust-worthy avenues because it seems that the exchanges do NOT allow for such - and they control the prices.  ON the exchanges, it is easy to get in bitcoin, but people are reluctant to send their cash to the exchanges (and it is slow).

Doesn't GABI allow for a lot of the same things that the COIN ETF would allow for?

That seems to happen to me on like a monthly basis, or nearly.. attempting to hang onto enough fiat.

You sound like a troll, and if NOT you sound silly to rely upon "they say"

probably the best solution, at this point, would be hari kari   

I don't mean to beat a dead horse because several posters here likely assume that you are very rich in BTC because you have been involved in BTC much longer than a lot of the rest of us (since 2011-ish, i imagine), but in the past, I recall that you had posted that you had been trading BTC etc and sometimes you had made some bad trading choices.... but more recently you have fallen more into the buy and hodl practices because you are considering the buy and hodl methods to be a safer long-term approach.. given the outside whales that influence BTC (and you are NOT affiliated with any whale) and because these BTC price bottoms are so difficult to time or figure out?

Currently, I am at about $594 average per BTC - and more or less I fall into the buy and hodl school of thought, too (especially while my BTC portfolio remains in the red), though I have been considering that I will probably engage in some trading with small portions of my BTC portfolio once prices get at least 15-20% in the black for me (that is if that ever happens... he hehe).  

Currently, I have accumulated quite a bit of BTC because I thought that the moon rocket was coming in the May/June/July-ish time-frame; yet, the quantity of my BTC holdings is becoming such that it is is more and more difficult to bring down my average costs per BTC through accumulation - though at these low prices, it becomes very tempting to tap into one or two sources that I had been considering converting into BTC investments.... seems to be a big dilemma for me and ongoing temptations with these low BTC prices.

Maybe I am seeming like some other posters here who are - wanting to double down on BTC and to leverage in some respects - and seeming to be a little bit on the line whether the extent of our BTC investments are too exposed?   Seems like each of us gotta keep in mind that we cannot let potential greed and/or overly-inflated expectations regarding the future performance of BTC prices to guide us in our investment choices?


Edit:  By the way, I recommend keeping an excel spreadsheet.. b/c it is easier to keep exact track of BTC financial specifics.

First:   I'm NOT sure whether it matters what other people have told me regarding my posts and or questions of other posters here?

Second:  inquiring about various financial aspects of posters frequently is relevant to the investment practices of others and what they are suggesting concerning investment practices or even to better understand their described course of action and how they see the walls and/or chose to allocate their risks.... Some aspects of finances of other posters are more relevant than others, and I tend to share quite a few aspects of my finances as related to BTC, especially if I am making certain kinds of points or if someone suggests that my investment situation may be relevant to something that I have said... though of course, I do NOT necessarily share everything within the public thread, and I expect that others are going to have varying degrees of comfort regarding sharing information concerning details of their BTC related investments.

Third:  You hardly would seem to be a reliable source regarding the disclosure of the average buy in prices of "everyone in here," which makes me wonder about your level of BTC investment... which based on the hostility contained within your last post, i have several doubts about whether you are going to be forthright with any of your BTC investment particulars and to share them with us... even though some of these particulars may be relevant to understanding if you are suggesting that we buy or sell BTC at a certain price point... which you have done from time to time in recent times.

Probably, I am the opposite, but possibly how you feel about the situation would depend upon if you are shorting or long or if you are in the red or in the black.

Currently, I am exercising a variation of that kind of a practice.. buying frequently, but trying to catch the bottom within that 1 day or 2 day period (depending on how frequently i am buying).

Edit: By the way Adam, is your average buy in price in the black or the red, currently?

You may need to research a little bit more b/c the block rewards are NOT going away until 2140-ish, which is quite a way into the future...

And, there are costs to acquiring mining equipment and operating such equipment, so hardly seems like a give away... but then again, you seem to be just trolling with the out of touch nature of your comment.

It sounds like you have a decent plan - i was just a bit confused by the tone of one of your earlier posts, which caused me to believe that you may have been in the red.... Much better to be in the black than in the red, especially when BTC is experiencing nearly a 70% retracement from its ATH, which could become even greater, and you seem to be pretty well situated, even if the retracement is greater.   

Link or it didn't happen...

Never invest more than you can afford to lose, and I would NOT bank on BTC prices going that low... Will be lucky to break $320, but what the fuck do I know?  Seems like these BTC price probabilities are an evolving target, and I would NOT put it past whale manipulators to keep manipulating.. and with the current set up of buying off exchange and selling on exchange, there is probably considerable ability for some of these bear whales to NOT run out of coins.

Yeah that's one way to lose out on potential profits...     

That's NOT really the current and/or pressing question about whether BTC can survive as a technology...  At this point, a fairly large, if NOT overwhelming majority of us, maintain a fairly high certainty that bitcoin will survive as a technology. 

Currently, most of us are mauling over the ongoing price depreciation which seems to be moving contrary to the large amount of good news that we have been receiving.. and that most of us, including your truly remain fairly puzzled about what is taking so long for the upward price swing to begin.. .personally, I thought that we were going there in May/June/July time-frame, but thereafter, BTC prices suffered a trend reversal that has been going on ever since and really demonstrates a fairly intense downward trend in the last 10 months, in spite of a large amount of capital flow into various aspects of the BTC infrastructure, which would cause many to conclude that these investors, at some point (possibly in the near future) will want to receive some kind of return on their investment - which in part was likely calculated through expectations regarding BTC price movements.
