What is your current BTC situation?

[TGE]

I plan on 'testing the waters' with a few hundred dollars. Played the penny stocks many times and love volatility. The 'real' stock market has been pretty boring for the most part lately. The action in the past hour is even more volatile than I'd like though I think lol. From $10.50 to $16 back to $12 in like a 10 minute span. Very few/small buy and sell orders in the $10.50-$15 range or so right now. Need some support to come in on either side or it's going to keep bouncing $2-4 every few minutes right now potentially.

So...since we are 'noobies'...are you...

A) an owner of bitcoins
B) Waiting anxiously to get funds transferred into MtGox or tradehill so you can start trading or investing in BTCs
C) Happily watching from the sidelines with no immediate interest in getting involved.

I'm just waiting to buy.

I'm also waiting to get in the game. My bank transfer to Dwolla is pending, I guess it won't go through until Monday now. Does anyone know how long a transfer from Dwolla to TradeHill will take? A few hours?

I own bitcoins and am watching the market situation to buy some more.

I got a few bitcoins several weeks ago, but I am offering actual tangible goods for them also, Like the Alpaca Sock fellow does. The goal of bitcoin is adoption into the masses, not only profit by investment, and I'm just doing my little part.

I'm not in US so transfering money is difficult in the inmediate but I would love to so as to Buy some. Thow I believe it will that a reasonable price for a stormy bitcoin situation is about 9us. I'm absolutely sure Bitcoins are a good investment because is a solid proyect but I guess this fluctation will have bad media for some time. This might afect future pricing too thow big speculators might have gone by then.
I recomend you to watch http://www.livebitcointicker.com/ .

When I saw the price falling I tried to post in the MtGox cash for USD thread, because my bank won't even be accepted until Monday, and then a couple more days to get the funds in the account, and I damn well knew that the price wouldn't last...

I am 'noob', i bought in well below 1$, I have invested 30+ hours making bitcoin videos, and 500+ hours studying bitcoin and related fields since I first learned about it 5 months ago. Oh, and censorship disgusts me.


Without careful attention people will always become what they claim to hate.

so many of us would have liked to take the bitcoins off the hands of the panic sellers today at this great discount, but have been waiting most of the week for money to get into the system.

I just setup a dwolla account today so need to first wait for them to make 2 small deposits to verify my bank account. So I probably got several more days before I can do any trading. Hoping it doesn't have a huge bounce/rally back over $20 or $25 before I can get some.

Same... just agonizingly watching the market drop like a rock, then climb, then drop like a rock... though apparently it does this every week, so there will be some action later for me, but I want to get in tonight

"B" time to buy.

Yea...I of course don't plan on going 'all in' all at once. Segment my buying and average down if necessary. Under $12 currently looks like a great spot to make the first buy though. Then buy another block around $10.50. Maybe more at like $10.05. Then if $10 were to fall play it by ear :p

Back before Bitcoins were cool some guy was giving 5 bitcoins away to anyone who applied for them. I got my five coins and then forgot about them until recently. I haven't got enough money to invest properly so I'm just waiting until they're worth millions

I'm lookin for bargains with the drop. I have always bought during a drop and I have yet to loose a penny. Down markets don't have to be a downer.
 

[BobPanda]

to be honest i think as soon as money drops into market on monday again, the first will get a great chance to buy some really really cheap coins. furthermore is believe this will bring us back to last weeks values. imho increasing prices for monday are predictable. -so why shouldn't those with money on its' way to the dealers wait any longer than monday?

I wouldn't at these levels...but are there easy ways to short bitcoins right now. I know I've seen mention of options and such and that tradehill should have an options market in the near future.

Mining at ~0.7BTC/day. Not a huge amount, but I already had the hardware and I get free electricity, so it's pure profit
