$450 - $500 means many of us are now even or ahead

I first started learning about and buying BTC when it was in the $700s, heading lower.  I am lucky I did not buy at the spike.

But, I have been "BTFD" for a while now, via localbitcoins, "mail order", Trucoin and other ways.  I have bought enough so that I am probably very close to breaking even or possibly in the green!  I would have to do the onerous work and check my figures, but $450 - $500 is probably about my break-even.

I have spent some (on gold), so that will likely complicate my calculations.  Perhaps I could value my BTC on a "FIFO" basis   Accountants' comments are welcome.

How about some of you? 

Did some of you BTFD on the way down (or at least at lower prices than when you started or lower than now)?

Sigh... Unfortunately my break even is at around USD$750...

[lolgato]

I could sell it now and make profit but I would rather wait a while longer for it to rise more.

I purchased only few of my BTC at around $450, the rest I made by investing those inital ones. So yes, anything above $450 puts me in green. Also, we all know it s not gonna stop here and this time it s not pump and dump, there s no going back. Once we hit $500, which is psychological border, world press s gonna go berserk.

I purchased my first bitcoins between 450-500 and up to 600-700 usd in the first big run up. When it got even higher I stopped buying and on the way down I bought some fractions again to do some investments.

But the long time below 300 did quite good for my holdings. I did not calculate it, but I'm probably about even now, maybe even slightly ahead due to some altcoin mining like doge in the early days.

Bought most of mine in the first half of 2013, in the range $60 - $200.
I bought a few more later up to $700 or so, and some at $500 in 2014 (i think).
So average cost is like $350.
I'm happy to be above water now

then i sold at 420.- and bought back at 330.-

[funkydog]

I bought around mid 2013 so i'm in the green ;-)

[Amph]

i was even, even(no put intended) at 50 but whatever 

this is all profit for me, but i still want for the value to reach the lasts ath, i really want bitoin to succeed, so i can pay eveyrthing with it

Some of my friends were early believers of Bitcoin and they bought when it was around $50. A while after they bought, they persuaded me to buy as well, I managed to buy at $100, so I could sell now and make some profit, but I am going to wait for the price to go higher.

[Minecache]

BFTD??

Buy F**ken The Dip

[LuckyYOU]

I could still make profits if I would sell now but I would rather hold for now. I want bitcoin to reach a new ATH and reach a new peak.
I might sell some of the bitcoins I own and hold onto some as well and buy again when the price drops a bit.

[tobacco123]

Bought about 0.2 when it was $220. Yeah I am green!

[bitcoin-hunter]

I had my bitcoins when the price was 300 dollars I can sell it now if I wanted, but I thin in 25 december bitcoin will increase even more so I am just going to wait until that happen. Otherwise I will just wait in 2016 I believe bitcoin will rise.

I have have seen my coins grow in value from the moment I purchased them at $220 at the highest, and slightly sub $200 at the lowest.

[crairezx20]

For me i would like to sell my bitcoins and gain a profit but i think this is not a time to sell.
The update price is 454.1 and i will wait to reach $500 before to sell all my bitcoins to gain a lots of profits..
Since the price is gradually increasing i will stay holding all my bitcoins and keep watching the flunctuate of bitcoin price..

[Lethn]

You guys suck at trading, my highest price was around $320

[kpitti]

I am trading and earning some good profit now. But I am waiting with large amounts until price will be closed to 500 USD.
