how many days the was the price above 140,- ? can´t be more than 20 or so.

out of 1460 days only 20 days was (significantly) higher than today.

that´s less than 1.4 %

we are in the top 98.6 % of all time bitcoin price level.

so chill out and breath some (thin) air... 

hurry up 

i bought 100 btc in june 2011. then the bubble burst and then gox got hacked, i could not access my account anymore and forgot all about it. buried deep and full of shame that i was stupid enough to fall into this scam. in march 2013 someone told me about bitcoin. i remembered my emberassing investment. WHAT ? PRICE AT 50$ i wrote customer support, the renewed my account and was several thousand € richer. first thing i did was to sell all the coins. an hour or so later i realized what  i was doing and bought back. immedeate loss: 10 btc.

conclusion:

-buy and hold worked fine

-sell/buy back: 

it will


stagrally around tri-double digits before it drops like a rocket to "da moon"

opec decides to sell crude oil for bitcoin only. 

what is your motivation ? you don´t like it, why do you waste your time telling others ?

um was wetten wir ? 

+1 true, vc money is raining down on mobile payment start-ups, and a lot of them fail anyway. i had talks to a vc company earlier this year. they had no clue what bitcoin was. we tried to explain.

vc: "but if there are only 21 mio ever created, this can never fuel an economy"
us: "no, that does not matter, you can devide bitcoins into smaller fraction.... ...down to a satoshi..."
vc: "but deviding them does not make more bitcoins available"
us: "it does, it will be smaller fractions of a bitcoin.... (trying to explain like to kid)
vc: "nah, i don´t believe it"
us: "but it is a fact,..."
vc: "you say it is a fact, i don´t believe it"
us:

that was the head of a very succesful vc company. we could hardly explain our business idea, since we had to explain the bitcoin project. whenever you talk to vc in europe, be prepared...

i´d say this would be a killer application for businesses considering bitcoin payments: re-occuring payments. we need a start-up covering this. but, technically - how?

very hard to do without giving up the sole control over your wallet/coins.

I like to add donations though.

I notice that I am much quicker donating to people thanks to btc. Donating with paypal is less fun and if I do it I pay less. Ie: I donate much more easily higher value with bitcoin.

When I donate in bitcoin I know people will remember how many btc I gave, and likely in a few years when btc is up, my donation to them will go up in value in their mind.

It's like donating a valuable stock, or precious metals, something you think will go up in value considerably, much cooler to do then donating fiat that will go down in value.

Also by donating btc I am actually building the value of my remaining btc because more people have btc and start valuing it.

I think donations make a chance to become the killer app of bitcoin.

that is correct. but...  an example is the german B.U.N.D. (top ranking environmental group) which had announced it would take bitcoins for donations beginning of this year. in an interview they expressed their dissapointment since so far the btc donations are summing up to not even 1 btc.

And bitcoiners dont' have to care about "the masses".  Even if it remains a niche, it will continue to grow dramatically.  There is plenty of demand for a trustworthy currency.  Other than bitcoin and altcoins, there is no competition.

strongly disagree. if no mass adoption happens it will die a slow, painful death.


@adpinbr: i now how you are feeling. this "we may all be fooled" fear. we can only hope that the masses will see the difference between centralized/fiat-based and distributed/algorithm-based.

easy: fiat is in capitulation phase.

yes, you got it !

why would it stop NOW ? the rise of bitcoin may slow down sometimes, mainly due to parasitic altcoin mania, but it will not stop. it went upwards 4 years in row. why not another 4 years ? (ok, a major flaw in the design would do it, but other than that?)

once it has reached 4 digits buying back in the very low 3 digit area will still look good. it is not too late for op to buy back. he lost 2/3 of his original stack. but if the 1/3 does well - so what. better loosing 2/3 than 3/3...

how does this affect possible roi for day 1 delivery ?

is this worst case or just probable ?
