Great strategy for sure, but seriously, who has the balls and the patience to hold the coins that they have bought a few weeks ago for around 20 years? I am quite sure that if we will se a new ATH the comming years the majority of the people will secure their profits and sell. Only real holders with no need for the money will be able to hold their coins for that long without touching them.

The support above the $300 level is simply too strong to let the price fall below $300. We might see the price go a bit lower from current price point, but definitely not sub $300.

I have lowered my expectations to $700 instead of $1000 for this year. $800 doesn't sound that bad either. Only time will tell what will happen. Patience plays a big role.

For me it's purely doing trading on days with high volume and high volatility and of course buy low, sell high. I have been doing this since the very beginning of 2013 and have been saving up all the profit I made in my cold wallets.

Most of us say that PayPal is wasting its money on this, but it will help them attract plenty of new custommers. It's quite funny that PayPal is saying they are new money, lol. It's still the same old crappy fiat system but with a new jacket on. That's all.

I don't expect any store to accept Bitcoin as payment tool within a certain time period. It costs time to convince non-online merchants that sell our daily needs to use Bitcoin in their store. These stores will not accept Bitcoin by themselfs, they need to get approached by people who are genuinely interested in helping them set up everything, signing up to a service as BitPay. This way they don't have to worry about fluctuations of the price, and they don't have to worry about silly people that are forcing a charge back on these stores. Plenty of benefits....

What do you consider a low price that people have bought at, and sell at these prices? Right now is either a good moment to hold or simply to increase your coin count before it's too late.

I really can't see the price go to below $300 unless there is some bad news that will trigger people to panic sell. I guess we'll see the price hang around sub $400 for a week or two before it goes up again.

For the beginners buying Bitcoins can be quite a hassle while you need to verify your account, etc. And some think buying Bitcoin is quite a risky thing to do. That's why signature campaigns are indeed a unique way of earning some risk-free coins. It allows newbies to discover the possibilieties of Bitcoin, send&receive transactions, etc. It opens doors for them.

Nice compilation of different video fragments from various documentaries. It's a shame this video has only around 200 views. I'll try to tweet this tomorrow if I can find the password of my twitter account.

No one is stupid enough to believe all the nonsense that comes from mr Vern. It's very simple, he/they stole the coins and kept it secret for obvious reasons, hoping to let users deposit more coins and do the trick for a second time.

Even then Bitcoin will have value. I am sure that speculators and yolo investors will take a chance to make great amounts of money during the times there is really a flaw in Bitcoin. People will keep their hopes up that there will be a solution to fix the flaw in question. And that makes that Bitcoin will always have value.

Well, the difficulty has gone up to insanely high levels. Even if some larger miners shut down their mining operations, then the difficulty will still be very high. The difficulty almost doubled in the last 2 months and will continue to go up. Till now the largest mining farms have had enough time to earn back their invested hardware money. If the price doesn't go up as much as people are hoping for, then these farms can still make a profit.

Beside that, I really think the Chinese giant exchanges Huobi and OKCoin are up to something. If the price doesn't go up by itself, then they will offer a helping hand.

If a mega merchant as Amazon is accepting Bitcoin as payment option, then all blocks will be full nearly instantly. That might be a reason for them NOT to accept Bitcoin payments as 1MB is simply not enough. 2MB is what we need if we want to attract mega merchants.

Nope. The price is just normal at this point. If you just focus on the long term target, then yes, the price right now is low. Long term minded people should buy now if they haven't already.

Even if these smaller miners leave, then still the difficulty will be at insanely high levels. Yesterday the difficulty adjusted itself to a nearly 20% higher number. And right now the difficulty is up another 19% which is insane!

Of course the price will go up when many people start to invest in Bitcoin, that's a normal thing to happen. Nothing special. It's just a matter of time before we see more investors come into Bitcoin to diversify their portfolio.

I like the "Fuck the banks" voting option! That's one of the main reasons why I am using Bitcoin.

It's for me an investment, store of wealth, currency, tool to avoid dealing with banks and governments.

Perhaps in your dreams. It's far from realistic right now. I am already happy if we manage to come above $600 again. That alone can be considered a great achievement after all the nonsense drama we have been going through.

I like this in the article : Klimenko also echoed what is now becoming a consensus among authorities in Russia in that bitcoin or ‘money surrogates’ can be a threat to the economy.

It shows that they are afraid of the potential of Bitcoin. And I can't really blame them as Bitcoin can be a threat to any country as people are sick and tired of the current financial industry and the shitty policies of the governments. With Bitcoin people have control over everything, that's something that makes governments poop their pants.
