Not so new to get caught on the wrong side of this dump! I'm in fiat baby!

The party is really over. Yep. See yall next November.

All joking aside, it's pretty damn sad to see btc reduced to a pump&dump toy thing so the all-ready-rich can get richer.  

You got that right. The only way to second guess btc prices are to look for patterns and history has a habit of repeating itself.

You are joking right?

It's the same song and dance with Spoetnik posts:

"I'm smart - you're an idiot"
"I've been around here forever - you're an idiot"
"I told you so - you're an idiot"
"I warned you - you're an idiot"
"You're a scammer/kid and an idiot"
"You're dumb and an idiot"
"You're a noob and an idiot"
"I'm tough - I will fuck you up"
"I have hacker friends who will fuck you up"
yadda yadda yadda ...



Very mature don't you think?

Sadly, at this point in time, bitcoin's use as a commodity is mostly for trading.  Bitcoin's use as a currency and store of value hurt because of the volatility.

Again, sadly, trading bitcoin is the only thing keeping it alive.  Hopefully, this changes in years to come but don't gamble your money on it.

Well, if you are not trading then leaving btc at any exchange is foolish. Fiat might be slightly less risky but we know how they love to steal btc.

Traders have no choice. You either have fiat or btc ready if you want to make a trade or lose out. It takes way too long to send fiat or btc. Many trades need to happen fast.

Let's put it this way.  We already had btc pump to just over $500. Big pumps are far and few between - we had a good one, one year ago and then mostly sideways.

So, if history repeats, btc will bleed back down to god only knows where and settle back into sideways. $250 is realistic.

 

An honest thread!

If you picked up bitcoins in the $200s you would have been a fool not to sell over $400.

You have to ignore the bear/bull bullshit posted around here. It is one hellava lot more likely to drop back to sub $300 than to reach $1000. With that said, this is btc and anything is possible.

Lots of us waiting for the $1000(dream on) bitcoin while others make good money on the highs and lows.

Where will the dead cat bounces take us for the bottom? 300 tomorrow?

Would be nice if bobsurplus took spoetnik under his wing and gave him some pointers on "how to make money on altcoins". He might cheer up if he makes a few bucks.

Come on bob ... take one for the team.

Well ... that was fun. Time to go home. Party is over. There is always next November for those who missed out.

My fave Spoetnik story is a year old when he went after Blocknet/XC/Dan. He got so worried they were going to track him down, he left the forum for a few months.  He said he had to "move" but it was more like "hiding out". Hilarious. So much for our brave warrior.

And yes, he is a very bitter bagholder. Drove him over the edge I suspect.

I'm surprised he hasn't got this thread deleted by a mod.  He's not shy about squealing on someone. I've had a couple posts deleted he cried to the mods about. Nobody likes a tattletale.

On a positive note; there is never a dull moment when he's around and its too much fun pushing his buttons.

I don't blame you. You are getting in while the price is still low.

By the looks of things that is exactly what is happening.  Most everything taking a nose dive. If btc can settle down to a nice high price some alts will quickly recover. Those with lots of btc will buy up the bargain basement prices I'm sure.

Unless you want to pay through the nose with localbitcoins, dealing with most exchanges require verification. There is one or two that no not require verification but use "at your own risk".

Bitstamp is a decent choice.

My advice to anyone is; act quickly on rumour when it comes to exchanges. Gox, mintpal, vircurex, cryptorush, etc. are the proof.

 
I find the 16/9 displays useless in 10.1" tablets. Might be ok on the bigger ones 12 inch or more. The 7" ones are too small.

The 4/3 display is best so my pick would be the new 9.7" models from Samsung. Apple is too expensive and proprietary for me.

Ever since codishmumu was banned, Spoetnik has taken over in the crappy threads department. Could they be the same?

He's hurt because I said he didn't have credibility.  So he's looking for credibility and the big red warning under his name does not help.

"Credibility" and "internet forum" in the same sentence appears to be a good example of oxymoron.    So good luck with that.

Yep. Touched a nerve for sure!   

Glad to see you found some good coins to buy. Took you long enough considering your vast expertise and experience.
