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.

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

I think collectable Cabbage Patch Dolls are a bit different to a decentralized currency. Bitcoin will very likely go up and down for quite some time but I think it has a long life ahead of it and the potential for big gains is still huge.

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.

Price swings are profit making opportunities for traders that know what to do. Great fun for traders but not so much for people who just bought coins.

That's true for the FX market for example, but not for trading BTC. If you have millions of dollars, there is not enough liquidity in the BTC market, so actually if you are a small trader, BTC is the best financial instrument to trade with.

this reminds me of 90% of fiat day traders are in the same boat.

Just cause its in a different form lol. Most people think they can make a good ton of money by "predicating" price.

whales make huge profits with their manipulation, they know much better what will happen because they are the market movers. small traders can only make a guess about the right time to buy in and when to sell.

[goosoodude]

The reason people are debating recent event is not because they believe bitcoin will fail in the long run, but because the price is probable to get a bit lower
before rising in meet with the halving that's happening next year. So why not wait a bit more with buy orders, or sell some of the stash and profit on the dip that's
coming our way, and they just rebuy lower and wait for the halving to do it's part.  People Traders are not dumb, or pu**ys, they just exploit what was given to make profit.

That is so true especially in the stock market. Most people buying in have no idea about the economy they are investing in and whine about how they are losing money with bitcoin. People need to know what they are doing before they try making a living trading Bitcoin.

so whats the best thing to do as a small timer?

just buy in when we see another $50 decrease? I think i`ll just focus on making more fiat if theres not much choice since its based on whales.

I would buy a small amount every week or X amount of time. That's what I do. And sure, if the price flash crashes, then I'll buy a handful.

The Cabbage Patch Dolls operation is still in business. They operate "Babyland General Hospital", where the babies come from. There are tours, fake nurses and doctors, and lots of baby stuff. Cabbage Patch Kids has been running since 1978, decades longer than Bitcoin.

It's a lot like Bitcoin. You have to believe.

Good news like the barclays one?

I monitor reddit but even those news doesnt seem to affect price.. I thought it was a huge thing.

Since a bank finally recognized bitcoin to a accepted payment towards at a bank. I guess not big enough..?

It does not help that Bitcoin is limited by protocol to close to 2 transactions per second, by the 1 MB blocksize limit. So it does not matter how many banks decide to accept Bitcoin, Bitcoin simply cannot grow.

Things will change on 11 Jan 2016 - forking with either BIP 100 or BIP 101 . Most likely BIP 101 is likely to emerge winner in the consensus poll.
