I"M BACK BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome back. You didn't miss much. The last 10 days have been pretty much dead. Did you bring Richy back with you? Mmmm, I didn't think so.  |

Good morning Bitcoinland.
Still no change?

Good morning Bitcoinland. $415ish?
No wonder this thread has become the Fork Observer. There's no Bitcoin price movement to track or discuss.
Ho freaking hum.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the price keeps creeping upwards, albeit on low volume. Oops. I didn't mean to change the subject.  |

You're one of those chemtrails fluoride anti-vaccine anti-GMO whackjobs, apparently. You NEED the evil conspiracies to explain why it's not your fault that you're such a complete loser.
Oh, here's another conspiracy denier / dancing israeli shill. Interesting correlation with the bigblocktardness. I try to be neither a conspiracy theorist nor a conspiracy denier. I do find it interesting that despite Edward Snowden's revelations, conspiracy deniers still use expression like "whackjobs" and "tinfoil hats" to describe those with serious concerns. I guess it shows that propaganda still works. This is why the FUD-spammers keep pounding away and censors keep censoring. Sigh. |

Good morning Bitcoinland.
Still going pretty much sideways for over 2 weeks now.
Coiling?

@ hdbuck:
The schism between the 2 forums isn't about block size or forking. It's about censorship and respect.

Come on bitcoin. Do something.
It is doing something... going sideways. |
|
|
|
Good morning Bitcoinland.
Still going sideways. Isn't it about time to move on up?
i see that chartbuddy is still MIA again today as blocks have become 100% full 24/7 ... I think Chartbuddy will continue being MIA. Richy left after Adam was banned and he set up shop over at the other forum. He's still working on adapting to the new format (postings are down to every 3 hours instead of hourly) and he still hasn't got the block size monitor up. |

Finally, $420. Kinda makes me want to... well, you know...  |

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Hey! What happened to chartbuddy? He disappeared somewhere?
got banned.. Wtf? But why? It was really cool! Not banned. Check out hdbuck's smiley. He left to protest the banning of this thread's OP. You'll find him over at the other forum, in the Wall Observer thread. BTW, good morning Bitcoinland. Still going sideways. Ho hum. Wake me when we pass $420 again. |

ETH market cap just lost 100 million. But no rise in btc?
Le me 'splain. The same fuckin' bitcoins that startid the pump has continued the pump. There ain't no new moneys, get it? and the best part, it's the same fuckin bitcoin that was given to them in the ipo. Free money to pump their worthless fuckin' shit. BRILLIANT. Nobody can ever call Vitalik anything other than brilliant. He's a bona fide genius. I saw him speak at Decentral in Toronto back in January 2014, on the eve of the ETH IPO.. He was brilliant and almost had me convinced that giving him bitcoins for ethers would have been a great deal. I looked into ETH, read the white paper and decided that while the concept of smart contracts and a decentralized P2P programming platform were ground-breaking, and the "ASIC-proof" mining algorith was impressive, something just didn't smell right about the business model. I took a pass on the IPO. Needless to say, during these last few weeks I've come to question that decision as the price soared. I've always thought that Ethereum has great promise and it was only the way they marketed it that made me skeptical. Maybe I'll still consider buying some ethers once the inevitable crash occurs. |

Good morning Bitcoinland (or at least the part that's still here).
Still going sideways I see. Maybe this week we'll see some real movement.
I guess I'd better go over and have a peek at Chartbuddy (and maybe get a chuckle or 2 from Adam).
"Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got 'til it's gone?"

Well well well. Just got home to see that we're finally moving. It's about time. Quick, somebody buy 20k coins and let's get this thing really going. |

I'm not a gambler either. Tried trading, wasn't for me. It's too much exhausting work to try and stay on top of things (at least as much as is needed to be competitive in trading), so I am just an accumulator as well. My time is better spent earning money elsewhere so I can use that money to keep buying more coins. I buy them assuming I'm throwing the money away, so if they are worth $0 or $300,000 in a year I won't sell. My average buy in price is something like $200 for my 210 coins, so I feel lucky. Although my buddy Jake told me about bitcoin when they were worth like 20 bucks and I dismissed him... darn!
I know what you mean. I first heard about Bitcoin when it was $12-$15. By the time I figured it wasn't a scam it was already over $30. By the time I was actually able to buy some it had doubled again. Snooze you lose. |

I am not sure exactly my strategy if we were to have another 10x bubble in the near future because that kind of price movement, depending on whether it occurs quickly, would cause a lot of temptation to sell a lot of bitcoins; however, even with a 10x increase in the price, a person would not need to sell all of his/her bitcoins in order to take reasonable measures to protect the investment.
For example, if a person has about 100BTC, then he knows that every dollar BTC goes up, he has $100 profits. Therefore, he could sell some of those profits and maintain the principle... There are probably as many strategies as there are people; however, I am mostly similar to you in the sense that I am attempting to accumulate overall (even though at the moment, your average BTC buy price seems to be a whole hell-a-va lot lower than mine)
When I first bought bitcoins (starting at $68) I figured I'd sell enough to recoup my original investment when the price had tripled in value. By the peak of the spring 2013 bubble, my average price had risen to about $120 and the market price only reached $266, a hundred bucks shy. When the "dead cat" bounce took the price back up to $155 after the crash down to $50, I sold some coins and was feeling fairly smug after making a 30% profit after a crash. It didn't take long to realize I wanted to buy more bitcoins though. Luckily I was able to buy back in for $97. Now I realize that if I sold any coins, I'd only end up buying them back again, probably at a higher price. I happened to get lucky with my timing then but I can't count on being that lucky again. I'm not a gambler by nature (in fact I'm adamantly anti-gambling for myself) so I'll stick to the slow and safe. |

This thread title reminds me of, "no more triple digits in 2013". We saw how that turned out. |

...these things sometimes can take time.. maybe a lot longer than any of us (potentially weak hands, including myself) have to have sufficient patience to wait it out and keep buying more than we sell if we really believe in BTC as the best of the cryptos.
I guess it depends on why a person buys Bitcoin. If one buys bitcoins to sell them, it's not surprising to see a certain amount of impatience. "We want the world and we want it now." Those of us in slow-accumulation mode don't care. If the price goes down, it's a buying opportunity. If the price goes up too sharply, it means that if we absolutely must sell some coins, we'll make a larger fiat profit. Win-win. |

Good morning Bitcoinland. Still going roughly sideways but with a slight edge upward. I guess Bitcoin's not dead after all.  Let's get past $420 and onward up. |

Good morning Bitcoinland. I see the small window of buying opportunity is closing fast.
I hope everyone got their cheap coins yesterday when the price was below $400. I also hope nobody here was foolish enough to sell at such a low price, although obviously someone had to sell cheap in order for the smarter ones to buy.
Sideways for a while or back up over $420?
