Anybody who panics in the next few days will lose their clothes.  The sharks will be swimming and volatility will be through the roof.  I'm thinking about dusting off the old liquidity bot to catch the swings.

Unrealized gains aren't real.

Sorry.

If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.

Roger that. For the record, I spent $2k, cashed out to get $9k to make myself a winner no matter what. I am strangely calm, heh.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Guys, it was at 30$ just a few weeks ago.

Did you think Bitcoins is going to be great and it's worth keeping your coins back than?

Why do you consider selling now. I got most of my coins at ~5$. So I'm still happy.

Really must coins bought at >30$ was by new speculators anyway and now 90% of those speculators walk away and have lost their money while the rest have the money of those speculaters. For us nothing has changed.

By the way I used the huge price to get a new Smart-phone for practically Cents.

So what should I say:

Bitcoin Bubble

All previous versions of currency will no longer be supported as of this update

That's what I love about the bitcoin craze. So many new people new to investing, and of course they're all going to make the same beginner's mistake, use false logic. It's like 2000 all over again, when the prices of tech stocks stopped going up. Forums full of people trying to verbally muscle others because everyone had a 100% sure belief about what the future would bring.
What you say is universally recognised as naive and false, all the books/courses etc. about investing warn against thinking like that. Combined with "sell quickly if you make a profit, keep holding if you have a loss until it goes back to break even" is a good reason most beginners lose their shirt in the stock market.

+100. The network is up and running fine. I might just go gamble some of my $5 bitcoin over at satoshi right now just for the heck of it.

+10000. Insane to quit. Ask youself, did you get in here because you want to make a quick buck or because you wanted to change the world? Because we here, in this forum, holding, and buying, are here to change the world. You want in on the future, get on the boat because it sets sail at 2 UTC.

It was amusing to watch people on this forum speculating how soon we would reach $300, and whether $1k was just weeks away.  A bubble bursting or a mere correction, this is actually healthy.  Do we want bitcoin to be seen by the general public as nothing more than a get-rich-quick scheme?  That's what it looked like over the past several weeks.

People are naturally blaming malicious hackers and MtGox for the crash, but that's kind of like blaming the 2007 US housing bubble pop on anyone but people doing stupid things, or the dotcom bubble bursting because those stupid people that stopped bidding pets.com up and up.  A prudent trader takes into account the risk of black swans, the risk of people panicking.  Yes, there's even a risk that MtGox could be shut out of the international banking system at any moment if the USA puts enough pressure on Japan over money laundering.  US online poker players remember Black Friday.  Pop, and it was all gone.
