The party or the hangover?

Both.  The party was brief, the hangover was painful.  In June 2011 some posters on this forum stated they'd be surprised if we finished 2011 under $100/btc.  When prices are going up it's easy to keep drawing the line up and of course they just have to keep climbing.

There's a moment in every rally when more than a few people say 'great profit, I'm out of here' and we run out of 'I'll buy in now, it'll double within a month' people.  That's when the bubble bursts.

Sadly, I am not. I am small potatoes. Most of my coins got sold back around the first $5 mark... had bills. Man, did I kick myself when it peaked at $30-odd. But I kept a little, and what little I have is now happily invested, making me slow returns.

It won't happen because all of the big player know about this issue by now. For example, I know someone who wants to take a big dump, but he won't because he's afraid he will crash mtgox.

and then you look in your history, and you see that you sold 100btc a month ago for ~€7,30. Now they are over €12 each -.- could have been 2 dedicated miners instead of 1 extra rig..

but who cares, got 30 btc already after the sale, so maybe sell them @ €12?

or should i keep them to wait after the 25btc/block stuff when price is (probarly) going to rise...

Well, technically speaking, your coins aren't "doing nothing", they're off making the person you invested with money, a chunk of which they send to you, as thanks, and payment for the use of those coins.

If it take 114 days at $15 dollars, it should only take twice as many days at $8.50. That 228 days, not anywhere near 1011

1000+ days to break even.... then 115days before the "CRASH"..

Depends on what your overhead is.  If you make $0.50 profit per day at $8.50, you'll make significantly more profit per day at $15 (until the price/difficulty ratio catches up).

[papaminer]

I feel sorry for the guy who bought bitcoins at $15. Just wait....price will get there eventually....

I was honestly tempted to buy at 15 because people are saying it will go up to 20 or 30... good thing buying bitcoin is as hard as going to CVS store.. lol

So are we going back up past $15.40, or is this just a temporary correction before we go even lower? Discuss.

So are we going back up past $15.40, or is this just a temporary correction before we go even lower? Discuss.

If the previous pattern holds, and the last one was "burp 2", then this is the spike. That's a lot of ifs, though.

I think you are right. As a miner, I stopped selling because I have a feeling Bitcoin will be worth even more once it halfs and ASIC tech gets out. I think other miners (and investors) realize this too, and started doing this as well. And the buyers know it's time to buy now before it rockets. Which in turn, shoots it up even more.

Everyone is unsure of November through January. After Jan-Feb, I think we will see a more stable market. I'm thinking it's going to be $25+ by Jan-Feb.

What if ASICs get released, the reward halves, but the price shoot to the moon? All the miners who thought the same as you will start selling, since it isn't going higher and we might see a crash instead.

And then drop back down to $12.50 again? lol

How low can you go?

Just a minor fluke... We will see stuff come January. Bitcoin is going to be worth more once reward halves, and mining (ASIC) becomes easier.

I think it was Warren Buffet who said that an intelligent investor is a realist who buys underpriced assets from the pessimists and sells them to the optimists for a higher price.

Yes, GLBSE crashed, so what? Some people will possibly lose money (again!) and some might find it slightly harder to earn funding for their bitcoin related businesses, but other than that, nothing important happened. GLBSE isn't the NYSE or NASDAQ. It is not the main ground for bitcoin investors and enterprises. They mainly meet on forums, IRC and the like.

I sold my bitcoins before the BFL scandal and bought them again today, because there is no fundamental reason why bitcoin's value (value =/= price !!!) should diminish. The market isn't going to shrink, because no bitcoin business is going to lose its funding due to GLBSE crash (except for GLBSE itself).

And I had my buy order at $10.60! Gah!

I have learned to listen to my gut and then do the exact opposite of what it said.

Oh f***, if I had used that strategy from the beginning, I would be rich now! lol
Somehow I'm not good in cheating myself. And missed out on this current rollercoaster-round..
No matter what you do, it turns out the opposite. With "you" I mean "I", thogh.. heh

This rally makes me sad...
I wanted 6 dollar coins.
 

I'm still holding out for a chance to get my next purchase in in the mid $1.xx's.  Although entirely possible, it does not seem imminent enough to me at this point to risk any funds sitting at an exchange.

It is also quite possible that we get on a ramp up that never really turns around and anyone waiting for a bargain will be left out.  It would suck big-time to have known of Bitcoin but have failed to get a foot in the door anyway.  If Bitcoin takes off, that is.

That's why buying at these prices feels like a toe in the door.  
amirite?

I've stated this theorem before but...

I feel that the general solution that Bitcoin provides is of high enough universal value so that each BTC could command a rarely dreamed of value.  Thus, a few bucks worth of BTC could be plenty to capitalize (a 'foot in the door' if you will.)  BUT there are a lot of things that could stand in the way of Bitcoin 'taking off'.

I've always considered my speculation in Bitcoin to be one of likely total loss, but with an outside possiblity of incredible gain.  Probably anyone interested enough to be on the forum at all would do well to get a bit of Bitcoin before losing interest and wandering off just in case.  Just don't lose the secret key...

I personally have a non-trivial amount of USD converted to BTC, but this fairly strong position has as much to do with political factors as it does speculation.  It'll be mostly an 'accident of fate', if Bitcoin 'goes a little' and I do OK by virtue of my overly strong position.
