I have all my current bids set at $40 and below, with my lowest bid set at $5. Wouldn't be surprised to see all of them filled by the end of the month...
Do you have bids set in place for a crash? If so, where at, and when do you believe they will get filled?

Similar, starting at $50 - though I might do a bit of tweaking. I think I might start seeing them filled from the end of this week onwards, but very hard to estimate time frames at the moment.

I too am putting in low bids, but I'm not expecting the price to drop that drastically. I really hope to see the price stabilize a bit in this range and then start to slowly pick back up at a more moderate rate with all the new money constantly coming in and burned speculators getting out at break even.

I always have low bid orders. Right now they're spread from $0.50 to $50 ;-) There have been enough flash crashes recently that it's worth having some fiat ready to catch the falling knife. That being said, ain't no crash coming. We already crashed, and are due for a correction

That's why you set staggered buy orders all the way down...you don't know how low it will go or where it will settle, but you can lower your cost basis quite a bit and possibly profit on the bounce (or by holding mid to long term depending on your own investment strategy).

I don't leave my orders in there for too long unless I know for certain it will be filled. Right now I have no orders pending, although I own a few altcoins.

No, I am a bear because I believe the market is going downwards. The term bear has nothing to do with "want". (don't feel bad, most of the true believers here don't know/understand that either, and frequently misuse the term.) Definition of 'Bear' An investor who believes that a particular security or market is headed downward. Bears attempt to profit from a decline in prices. Bears are generally pessimistic about the state of a given market. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bear.aspSo many investment terms are misused on this forum.

I think the existence of these sorts of threads proves that there won't be a crash. Everyone is loving the idea of buying cheap bitcoins, which means they won't actually fall that cheap. There is always someone else with "low" bid orders $20 above yours.

For every day that goes after the correction it is looking more and more like it will behave like in 2011. Most probably bottom will be alot higher than 2011 but i think we'll see lower prices.

Until investor confidence gets shaken. If people no longer think they can sell for a higher price, they wont buy in. We are in a declining market now, and less people are going to be willing to buy in the further down this thing goes. The coins that were "cheap" a week ago are now looking pretty expensive...

Everybody loves cheap bitcoins here because everyone here loves bitcoins! This is the bitcoin forum. You are going to get a disproportionately high amount of bitcoins lovers here.

I would add that some of us do not care about "investing" in bitcoin. For me it is a way to safely, quickly and cheaply send money. I will continue to use it whatever the price.

I don't place standing limit orders, because the code I've written to support them isn't ready for prime time yet.
But if you include "bids that a bot will place as soon as the price falls sufficiently", I'm also bidding all the way down to $5 (after that, depending on how the price got there it's possible I run out of dry powder and have to stop temporarily).
I have no idea when they'll be filled, if ever. I'm no good at predicting the moves of this market.

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.

Then the speculation subforum is a strange place for you/those people to be posting...this subforum is specifically for price talk as it relates to trading/investing.

And I'm not against speculation. I like how you can do anything with BTC that can be done with fiat, and more. I was just adding that the bitcoin economy has become complex and so reading sentiment is also complex.

Yeah, but why not play the market like a boss and earn 20-30x your money in a few months span ? Before you burn me at the stake as an evil speculator, realize that such actions help stabilize the price, buy when it's cheap and sell on the tip of bubble. People playing the bubble are preventing it from happening. So it's not the cold blooded speculators that ruin the bitcoin market, looking for a short time profit. It's the greed of long term bulls: "there's a limited amount of bitcoins so if I get in early I will be RICHER THAN GEORGE FUCKING SOROS !". Such stupidity attracts sharks like a bloody fresh kill, and they stabilize the market back by feasting on the dumb money. Without the long bulls and the "store of wealth" promise (an economic impossibility), there would be no speculation and BTC price will stay rock solid.
