...Maybe two years is necessary to make sure there is a gain in saving.
No, you're missing the point. There is no guarantee you will gain tomorrow, in a month, in two years, or ever. Just like there is no guarantee you will loose all of your money.

Why not just tell me how much ur hodling, so I can put some numbers to the lel?
What, a bit like 'i'll show you mine if you show me yours?' what is lel? lel=lol=lulz=funny So, you're happy to pimp Bitcoin, but too ashamed/embarrassed to admit how much ur hodling? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Two years ago, people kept telling me that investing in Bitcoin was too risky, that it could crash any time, etc.
Lol IF I would have started mining two years ago my student loan would have been already paid by now.
It's never too soon to get started. The only regret you'll have is not starting earlier.
No, two years ago the people were right, what you did was risky. You got lucky. Doesn't mean what you did was smart. ...unless you think that winning a million in the lottery makes the guy who "invested" in the scratch tickets smart.

... Trying: Bitcoin can not go up in a nice mathematical curve, whatever mathematical function. Assume an exponential function starting just after the genesis.
Why? Speculators see this and want to front run the appreciation. We get a bubble, then a burst. This happens at all scales. Either this works for all coins, including my Utter_Shit_Clonecoin, or you have to explain yourself. If universal, invest in my Utter_Shit_Clonecoin, because to the moon. We have, in addition, external forces like scams and news. A mathematical appreciation is just not possible. Then your "it's certain to go up" bit is nonsense, Q.E.D.

Don't worry lamb chop I can handle a bit of volatility. Not everyone who is bullish bought in at 1200 you know ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Why not just tell me how much ur hodling, so I can put some numbers to the lel?

If, OTOH, you are suggesting I pick a timeframe which better supports your argument, the begging question is "why"? According to your logic, the flow has been from USD->BTC. But... then it wasn't, for close to a year now. Explain this shit.
If you are interested in the fate of bitcoin over the next 5-20 years ... >Bitcoin lasts 5-20 years ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs8.postimg.org%2Fsovpipklx%2Fmiracles.jpg&t=663&c=oEfIdoc9AOqE1Q)

Price goes down very slowly... hope that something happen and price will rise up because price is too much low now ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif) Don't worry. It'll go up eventually and when it does you'll be smiling you 'survived' this bearmarket. Even all the trolls in here want it to go up once they buy in. They just don't want you to know. Why will it eventually go up? Why do so many here act like that is a fact, like it's guaranteed. You should have learnt by now. Anyway, here is one argument: Generally, money value flows to the most liquid money type, if everything else is equal. It's not, fiat like USD is currently better in that it is accepted everywhere, or said otherwise, it is more easy to convert USD to something else of value, than bitcoin. Despite this, value flows from USD to bitcoin, increasing value of bitcoin and reducing (currently marginally) that of USD. The effect of this flow is that afterwards, bitcoin has gained usefulness, meaning that next year (month, day), the flow is enforced. The end game is that bitcoin takes over all value. It is the only possible outcome. Other than that throughout 2014, the flow has been from BTC to USD, you got a solid argument there ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) You can not say it has gone up or down unless you at the same time choose a timeframe. You could easily select two year's timeframe. Going down this year is annoying, but it does not change the big picture. If you are suggesting that since its inception (when its price was exactly zero), BTC had nowhere to go but up, I agree with you. Buying it at zero would have been a no-brainer. If, OTOH, you are suggesting I pick a timeframe which better supports your argument, the begging question is "why"? According to your logic, the flow has been from USD->BTC. But... then it wasn't, for close to a year now. Explain this shit.

A lot, half of my savings. I feel like a total loser because I got fooled by bitcoin proponents who were saying $1000 is cheap, it would go to $100 000.
It's all relative. $30 coins looked expensive as hell when it went down to $2. How do those $30 coins look now? Like you should have sold @30 and re-bought @2? You would have been fifteen times wealthier. That's what speculation is all about ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) I'm not saying that BTC will ever be $100,000, but you never know what's going to happen. I never thought it would hit $1,000, and if it did, it would be after 10 years. Looks like I was wrong.
If you "never know what's going to happen," you're not investing, you're gambling. The same "never know what's going to happen" reasoning drives the poor to spend their welfare checks on scratch tickets. You never know, a buck could get you a million, amirite? Did you at least sell some coin close to the top, or ...are you still hodling?

^That. If I knew that we'll see 350 again, I'd buy BTC now and sell @ 350. Who wouldn't?

...If you have bitcoin, what are you waiting for? When are you going to sell? 290? 250? 150? 25? 10?? 5???
.50?? ... A few here romanticize hodling. To them, Bitcoin is a very personal, almost sexual thing. Freud attributed such behavior to failure to progress past the anal gratification stage (anal retentive). He was wrong, of course--these people are simply as crazy as the proverbial bed bug. Which is cool--they are an endless source of free lel. Enjoy!
