This drama is ridiculous...

[Monopoly]

Bitcoin without drama? I don't even think it's possible. It makes Bitcoin exciting and fun for me as a trader as I enjoy bull runs and flash crashes equally  

Yes i believe bitcoin is just fun game ... like gambling and in the end  all of you will be dead except who ones will join out it very soon ..... absolutely with selling their coins .

Drama never stops in bitcoin. People should be used to it by now. You cannot expect smooth sailing because there are always bad news from within or the market. If bitcoin should fail, it would have failed many times before. Remember Bitcoin is still in "beta" phase and there will be more changes, but bitcoin is resilient.

well this drama is costing people a hell of a lot of money lol most people are only in it for the short term and that gives them a bad impression

for plenty of people that are losing money, there also are a few winners. people that can't handle volatility should sell all their coins and never come back. these are the kind of people that blame bitcoin for their own stupid actions.

I like this. I feel like we have a lot in common regarding our positions on Bitcoin . I get the impression too many people bought in thinking it would skyrocket and when things went sour they turned bitter. I guess it's good we are washing those people out now though.

Why are so many being a pu$$y?

So the price is lower and has been. Who cares? Average down. Keep at it. Hold long-term. Eventually you'll break even and profit.

If Bitcoin fails, it will be years away. Too many dark websites still use it. Too many lost coins. Too many big holders.

Some people need to consider using logic instead of emotion. Smh.

Most people here are either trolls or idiots. Either way they don't have much intelligence or better things to do so they're not going to listen top reason or logic.

This. Half the people here own very little, if any, bitcoin.

Impatience as well as passivity.  No one is ever responsible for their actions, or their problems.  Its always pass the buck.

Unfortunately, that is the truth. People are less and less patient and always want things now. People want the price to boom and cash in their investments quick. Everyone wants something for nothing.

Why don't you use the strategy and be glad no one is stealing your secret?

Uncertainty spreads easily. Most online communities are drama addictive but it's not like members of the forums you're visiting are the leading forces of this market. Bitcoin communities I can think of react to the market's movements, they don't create them. I don't see a reason a big trader would take advice from internet strangers anyway.

[aakashsangwan]

I don't care of the price of bitcoin, be it any, i will still hold it and never loose my trust.
At least bitcoin is better than the fiat we use for our day to day tasks, in a limited supply.
So in the end their prices will remain high as always, people gets scared of small time fluctuations and start selling their bitcoins and bringing prices more down.

There are very very few big traders in the Bitcoin market. You can't trade BTC with a lot of money, if you come into the market with couple of a million dollars and you leverage it 5:1, you are going to move the market and that's not always very good, because you can shoot yourself in the leg very easily.

While 5:1 sounds very unlikely for large trades I'll agree that it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot while trying to move the market. Out of all traded commodities, bitcoin probably needs the best risk tolerance.

A lot of people have this same mindset- "Right now doesn't matter. Bitcoin value only matters down the road". Newsflash, if the price isn't gradually increasing until the fabled "mass adoption", it can never take place. Bitcoin won't spike from 230 to 2300 in one day, and it can't start that movement until the price begins to increase.

you're new here, right?

[crazywack]

I don't think you will see many seasoned vets complaining. Most of them are making money shorting BTC. They also know these swings happen. Its the new guys/gals who are not use to the market that complain.

Most already probably sold off some.

But they know they`ll buy back in again when its cheaper. I for one am not a seasoned vet for trading, but I`ll hold despite the drama.

it's strange because he is from November 2013, the same month where the last ath started and achieved 1200 in few days, his post seems contradictory

it's surely possible for bitcoin to reach 10k from 200, in a months or so, there is no need for a gradual rise, if suddenly many people begin to use bitcoin and the demand increases like crazy this will reflect the price

Ask the people who invested in Cabbage Patch dolls and Franklin Mint collectables how long-term holding worked out.

This is exactly how I feel. Bitcointalk has turned into a crying and consolation forum ever since the XT debate started and we had a price drop.

Don't worry, these are mostly the people that planned to get rich with Bitcoin over a night. It doesn't go like this in the real world. Time is needed and patience. This is a battle, and will be a long battle full of ups and downs. We need to learn to enjoy a ride and toughen it up and results will come eventually.
