It looks like most people here is over 40? Noone (no matter which age) that didn't start using computers until the nineties? And absolutely no millenials here?
Interesting if that were the case.
No, several old-timers here have mentioned using Macs from 1979 & Commodore 64s from 1984. Anyone else start out on a 166mhz pentium? TRS80->C64->Amiga500->Amiga4000->~100mHz Pentium Commodore 64 -> 086 -> 286 -> 386 (40mHz, 16mb HDD) -> 100mHz Pentium I remember the first multi-core PC's, felt kinda special when buying the first one. Just like with bitcoin. Fun times. I was 7 years old when I got the first one. |

Beta was announced in the first Q, now it's moved to Q2 in the roadmap, when is it coming out? Is this thing legit? Or are the developers in constant siesta?  |

I'm involved till 2013, still I'm not rich  This is what happens when you have too rigid money management, I invested very little money but I'm afraid even now, because I fear to lose my small profit. Shit, I'll never be rich I suppose... but I hope I'll also never starve to death. What a coward I am  Well you don't actually have to be rich, just having enough for a shelter, transportation, clothes and food is ok. Ofcourse I wouldn't try to buy them from walmart or places like that one doesn't have to be rich to have a life of good quality. I went allin in 2013, then had to sell all my stash because of reasons late 2015, re-entered last year in November with a massive loss ofcourse comparing to the selling price. I would take that fear of yours against my hectic money management, seems to be more stable. Hopefully I'm having more luck this time. |

It could be so because most bitcoins are owned by big whales, and they can set prices with bitcoin they have.
Many old investors are Buying Bitcoin in 2014. But now is peak in the market so all are thinking whales are controlling the market. But actual reason is many governments are regulate the Cryptocurrency so automatically some whales are trying sell and exchange the some other coin it is reflected in Crypto market. So investors are just protect the Crypto investment it is cause some price fluctuation. But whales are the ones who are controlling the market, look at the scamsite bitfinex for example. Massive manipulation with Bitcoin and tether. Without bitfinex the price wouldn't probably be so high as it is now or even more so in December. |

Saw a man today (around 45-50) in Phuket riding a Harley wearing a cap with bitcoin logo on it. He had a young chick in the back, aged maybe around 20y. Wonder if he's someone from the forum My role model. Was thinking the same, he had a massively satisfied look on him, a zero-worries one. |

Set a goal in life, figure out how much money you need to do it, and stick to the plan.
When bitcoin breaks 10k again I'm moving to Thailand to become a full-time monger. Saw a man today (around 45-50) in Phuket riding a Harley wearing a cap with bitcoin logo on it. He had a young chick in the back, aged maybe around 20y. Wonder if he's someone from the forum |

Bitcoin is Scam. Short-lived CEO and co-founder of PayPal - Bill Harris has written his own opinion on cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. According to him, he claims that bitcoin is a fraud. He said it was an incredible pump and dump scheme, never seen or experienced in the world.
Ofcourse he will say that, Bitcoin is a straight competitor so he has to diss it. Bitcoin is taking over Paypals territory |

Guys, i seriously sold magic mushrooms in my restaurant, 25 years ago, it was on our menu, right under "fried rice". I kid you not !
If i would have grandchildren, i would have a story to tell.
I just stopped that, because people kept driving into the ditch, loughing their ass off. Again, this is no joke !
Damn, nobody`s gonna believe me, but that`s exactly, what happened in my life.
The tricky part was always testing, how strong they are (knowing, they grow on buffalo-shit, but that was the least of my problems).
I actually realised on shrooms that I have to get into crypto, back in 2013. I first heard about bitcoin in 2011 but my stupid brain didn't take it in then, needed a little push I guess. Shrooms are fun. |

I only care about bitcoin everything else seems insignificant
Pretty much, sitting here day after day waiting for 2021 ish when my stash will make me rich. Running two companies is boring & unfulfilling. I want to travel, fuck hookers & snort copious amounts of cocaine. I highly doubt you will find that very fulfilling for very long. Well, for me, thats enough, i´m not very demanding. If you do make it don't go over the top on the blow. A ripple billionaire just died from his addiction to an opioid painkiller called OxyContin. Normal people have a cure for their addictions called running out of money, but it doesn't work for billionaires. https://www.forexlive.com/cryptocurrency/!/billionaire-cryptocurrency-investor-dies-in-mexican-rehab-center-20180417 Making a billion dollars won't necessarily make you happy or healthy.
Matthew Mellon died yesterday at a rehab facility in Cancun, Mexico. He reportedly turned a $2 million cryptocurrency investment into Ripple into $1 billion but also had a long term addiction to painkillers. Smoke pot cannot OD on pot, or die, or get disease or anything else Not on old fashioned pot. However I heard about people dying from some types of spice, but it's a hundred times stronger than regular pot. Because spice is not pot, it's synthetic poison. It's like calling methanol liquour. Before spice you could be pretty sure you were buying pot. How do you know what you are buying today? It could be regular pot with some spice mixed in. Unless it's government regulated like in California you can't really be sure what you are buying. You don't buy pot which is ground, it has to be a nice looking "cone" and have the right smell, everyone who has even a bit experience would tell the difference. Spice is always ground to dust so it could be mixed with anything. They even add some kind of varnish to make it weigh more and become more addictive. This is the reason why weed needs to be legal everywhere. It's so widespread that fighting against it just doesn't help, every country should collect tax money from it. And being legal makes sure everyone would get a product that is pure. |

Ofcourse it's manipulated, that's what whales do. They can move the market significantly in no time. Up and down.
Or look at the volatility, having double digit % raises and falls in a day means it can still be easily manipulated. But it's getting harder every day as the market matures.

This is from an opinionated article, but according to the writer bitcoin’s recent decline could be reason to worry. Some excerpts from the article: Given the current state of the technology, bitcoin’s current price of around $7,000 — although still high compared to most of its history — is a relative disappointment. And this disappointment could lead to the demise of bitcoin.
If the price of bitcoin falls below its cost of mining, it will quickly go to zero. The real concern is that if the price of bitcoin continues to fall, mining will become infeasible, and without enough participants providing the computing power to record the transactions, the transactions will be infeasible and bitcoin will become worthless. You can read more of it here: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-is-all-it-would-take-for-bitcoin-to-become-a-worthless-cryptocurrency-2018-04-12Not here to spread any negativity or FUD but the author suggests that the current price drop is greater as compared to the ones in the past (is it worse than Mt. Gox?) Also, those early investors who came in during the hype last 2017 aren't likely to invest again after experiencing great losses, and this may make the price go down continuously then eventually go even lower than mining costs. Is it possible to happen? The Mt.Gox fiasco took prices down 90%, this crash should have gone down to 2k to compare it to Mt.Gox. But yeah, bullshit article. |

The last posts of this thread got me a little worried... Usually when the hardcore bitcoin zealots surface, telling how pathetic the sellers are and how sorry they feel for the sellers. Then I'm the one who is selling This indicator makes me think that this drop will probably go further. I'l better sell my bitcoin dependent alts.. Well I feel sorry for the panic sellers, a different thing by my point of view. You wouldn't sell a mile long red bar just because CNN news tell that the bubble burst, would you? That's panicking. And don't get confused on my newbie account, I've been around since we got Goxxed. |

Where's OP? Is he still hodling? Possible panic sellers should see some sunlight now.

Not themselves. Some of them hate “the market”. A friend of mine is like that: he used to buy when there was a bubble out of MOFO and to sell when the first dip came, out of panic. Now he doesn’t buy any more, he just wastes all his money, as he thinks “the market” is corrupt.
I think you meant FOMO, not MOFO  Anyway, these guys are the biggest losers. They see bitcoin on the news, they buy the top and it starts crashing, they (once again) look at the news and see how "bitcoin is crashing", and further crashing ensues causes precisely by these watching the news and paying attention to fakestream media. Notice how during this cycle, none of them even bother to research what bitcoin is and why is it valuable (and why you should only look for the long term and ignore market noise) Maybe he really did mean MOFO because they buy the high and panic sell the lows. Hahaha. But really, without those types of traders, the market would not be as profitable to trade as it is today. Same here, as much as I feel sorry for them, we need them to grow our wallets. And probably many of them take their lessons and become hodlers later |

Such retrace. Much drop. Wow.
It can go down to 10350 and bounce.
Up the stairs, down the toilet elevtor shaft. It was bouncing above and below $10k for days during the week. It could be bouncing above and below $11k for days during the coming week. It was below $8k a week ago, so $10k in seven days isn't so bad. Not so bad? Quite great actually, even too fast I think. Though the rollercoaster ride is fun and educating at the same time. |
