Well put! Yet if you hodl (Im getting sick of this word) this will never happen and the current price is good in the long term. At least I believe it will be.

If its a short term investment wait. If its a long term investment buy, store, and do not come back to this forum for another three years. The price may drop another hundred or two but all the energy/ time you would have spent watching the price will be worth the small loss in the big scale of things.

Bitcoin will stop increasing in price by tenfold a year and people will start spending it. By that point just about everyone will except bitcoin and I will have enough bitcoin to retire on. So I guess Im hodling for life.

I don't get this thread. Is this suppose to be funny?

who the hell is buying doge coin?

This is the question. Who knows?

We could see 400 coins by the 31st. If not, it will probably stay steady for a while. Some negative news such as a possible ban in our country or ? may bring it back down to 400 only to see it go back up. I don't see it dropping below 400 for more than an hour from here on out. Even on the worst news. This said, Im waiting for 600 coins before I buy back in.

I'm still confused as to why it went up so suddenly to 1200 in Nov. China was already aware of btc months before... I think more gradual upward curves are to come.

what is this?

people were speculating on what would happen to the price on the 30k now there is an extra 144k. seems they are smart enough not to dump it all. This could "legitimize the currency" as mentioned. The best bet would be to make purchases and then convert to fiat. Buy 10 14m dollar mansions in bitcoin than auction those off.

144k stored on his fukin laptop:

I checked this out and all I find is a news feed.

“we don’t want to suppress or discriminate against Bitcoin, we are simply saying it is not a currency”

LOL

just an update. I am trying to sell some items to increase my coin supply. I'll keep adding here. Prices are fair and updated daily.

www.hoodun.com

Just a place to list things being sold for btc. I know it visually sucks but its functional. I will improve it with time. I have plenty of things in my garage that I will be adding to it.

This thread is dedicated to bitcoin business opportunities. What sort of businesses can be created to help the evolution of the coin?

atms
user friendly wallets (completely mindless interface)
bitcoin bank
merchant exchange software
bitcoin accounting software

Any other ideas?

Facebook was not first. Friendster and Myspace were out long before it. Google was not first either, it was a fork of Lycos, Yahoo, etc.

Gavin is one of these people.

etoro is well respected in the forex trading world. I imagine this will have an impact on new investors entering into btc. 4 trades a day though is kind of crappy.

I just bought 1 at 800 and I will be buying more after chillin out for a day or two and watching what happens. So far so good. Hopefully my measly 3500 investment (when done buying) will snowball into much more in the years to come.

I'm with you here. Im patiently waiting. One reason I think I will make a good trader is because I have the patience. We'll see.

I understand what you are saying but I have been having a blast participating in this forum and daytrading all day while at my cubicle job at a biotech company.

I make guitars, so I am going to build a site that excepts bitcoin for my guitars. Any other business ideas that you can share? I cant think of anything though I know they are out there.

So far listening to bears has cost me money. Not to blame, but I was heavily basing this last decision to sell on rptiella's comments. They seemed logical and he is longterm bullish, though very bearish this last week. I sold thinking any money I lose would be insurance for a price drop to 300 which is what a lot were saying a couple days ago.

Im going to wait for 950 again and then start buying in. My previous lesson was "never buy back in for more than you sold" and there is no reason to think we will go to Mars yet, with some of the uncertainty. Feb may be a different story. I think it was a month after silk road that the price went to the Moon...

I am a hodler by nature. I am just trying to get 10 coins but can only afford 5 at the moment so Im trying to speculate. As a result I may end up with 3 coins. Wish I had more I can risk losing, but that's the reality of situation. At least for the next few weeks.

One things for sure is that the lesson I have been learning on trading from this forum have far outweighed all the forex schools I completed in the past (forex trading without actually using real money). You cant beat the lessons learned when playing on the field with others and seeing what works and doesnt work for different people. So far I have learned that a bear attitude is a losing one. This is true in life as well.
