damn! i expected the price to go down, but definitely not this much. glad bitstamp and btc-e didn't follow bitfinex downwards.

I believe we could see as low as 200 in the near future due to the XT issue but it will be short lived. I'd be VERY surprised if went down anywhere near 200 honestly.
i think we might see low $200 level as well. it will be a great buying opportunity for sure. the amount of xt nodes is still growing and has now more than 10% coverage.

Time to switch to Mintcoin.
30x faster, 100,000x cheaper, energy efficient, globally scaleable, no mining gear required to mint new coins, just save them in your wallet.
people here aren't interested in altcoins. mentioning how fast it is and how much cheaper won't change that. bitcoin is the only coin that will/might see global adoption within a few years.

not every person in this world is interested in bitcoin. it's purely an alternative to our currently old fashion financial system. that's it.

i wouldn't mind buying more coins at lower levels, but it can't continue endlessly. as it looks now i think we are heading towards low $200's.

a few years ago there were certain private bittorrent trackers looking to reward you if you're a high speed (1gb/s +) content uploader. don't know if they still doing it, but you can search through them to find out.

i have never sold any coins in person and probably never will. the only exception might be for family and close friends. but never ever to strangers.

Im newbie in bitcoin technology, i see more people now run bitcoinXT nodes.. I want to ask whether we should install bitcoin XT how about my bitcoin ? whether I would lose if I am not installing the bitcoin bitcoin XT ? i would wait if i was you. i personally will start updating my client once i see 60% of the people have done it too. that's what i am waiting for. currently nearly 10% of the nodes run xt if i may believe bitnodes.io. Yeah, but the data is rigged since a few days. See here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1154520.0I'm telling you there is still only 150 or so people really running xt. The other 400 new nodes are most likely fake nodes from attakers on the Gavincoin-thing who do not intend to ever run bigger blocks. that may explain the rise in xt nodes. the comming days will tell more about the growth or decline of the xt nodes. don't think it will go over 20% but you never know.

by far the majority of tx value in bitcoin is due to gambling. i wouldn't be surprised if gambling accounts for at least 50% of the value.

this section together with the altcoin section is the garbage of this forum. way too many trolls and fools saying nonsense just to spam. it has been like this for quite a while.

still HOLDING will hold till it reached $330 USD and if it reached $330 USD, thats the time i'll decide if i'll let go or still hold on to it $330 is not really a level i would want to wait for to sell my coins. hold it at least till the block halving if you don't need the money.

i think they will keep it till early 2016 but it caused so much drama that some people even think it will damage bitcoin for good.
|

they indeed do seem to use bitstamp. but i would prefer it if they used the average price of several large exchanges like coindesk is doing.

He might be dead right now, nobody has heard from him 'officially' in a long time. None of his known addresses have had any activity. He could have died years ago. I get what you're saying though & maybe bitcoin will only be appreciated when we're all dead & gone, before we get chance to enjoy the wealth it could bring us. I hope not though, it'd suck if 1 bitcoin was worth 1 million USD in 60 years & we don't get to enjoy that satoshi doesn't need to let us hear something from him. bitcoin is already way further and much more mature than when he left. his coins are 'deleted' as in him no longer having the private keys or he will use his coins when he really need them.

i will also update to bitcoin xt, but only if i see at least 60% of the nodes have done it before. that for me is enough confirmation to update my client.

I think it is wise to hold some bitcoin in your portfolio but not necessary to keep it all because there are too many manipulators now in the markets..so just keep in Bitcoin what you can afford to keep as a high risk investment.
market manipulation isn't always a bad thing. it allows us to buy in at low levels if they push the price down, and it allows us to sell at high levels if they want it to go up. you just need to know when to get in and use their manipulation in your advantage.

if you don't need the money, then simply keep holding. i'm sure if you sell now you'll definitely regret it. have patience and don't panic if the price goes down.
|

it's currently a great time to buy as i don't think the bitcoin price will go under $250. buy now 50% and keep the other 50% for when it goes more down.

don't think we'll see the price being stable above the $300 level this year. selling pressure is too high. i think in 2016 when we near the block halving we will start to go over $300 maybe to $400 but that's at most.
I thin by end of 2015 the prices will be around 250 +/- 50 so it will be around 200 to 300. But I think mostly at lower end than higher end $200 is too low if you ask me, if we indeed go in that range it will be difficult to re-gain the $300 level, but i don't think we'll see the bitcoin price go under $250.
