Late adopter here (bought in at 900+)

Like some other posts mention, these swings are very normal and have happened before. Gotta admit though, it takes a little getting used to.

Hold..its the end of the year, profit booking and festive gifting affect all markets, At least, that's what one may keep telling themselves to not panic sell.

Hold...this ship isn't sinking yet.

Be patient.

In my personal experience, while Btc-e does take a little time to allow you authority over your funds, they have come through.

After having watched this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U3c6WlMIu0   I cant help but question my bitcoin convictions a little bit, still a newb within the community with no experience apart from holding bitcoin as an investment vehicle, how would you guys respond to the statements in the above vid? do you think he is absolutely wrong on all accounts?

This is known as price arbitrage, the possibility exists within commodities like gold as well.

Any particular reason no one mentioned Namecoin?

dot-bit.org for the curious. Seems to me that having a censorship free, fully owned domain name has potential.

If anyone happens to be aware of setbacks that i may have missed...please chime in

Hey folks,

When Bitcoin was at 273$ i figured that this train has left and it was pointless investing.

Lo and behold, not too long after it stands proud at its current value. Was curious as to whether how other late adopters like myself are planning to manage their crypto funds? I believe its set to climb much higher.. what do you think?

Any pearls of wisdom that you share will be much appreciated...trying to hold back from pooling in a good portion of my life savings in to it.
