It's a good sign the originals are returning, nice to see you all.. I was a 2013 lurker and signed up 2014 during the downturn. Stocked up on btc when blood was on the street.
Not a bad move it seems.
you stocked up when? In the $200s? or some other price points? Remember in mid to late 2014, it appeared on a few occasions -prior to bitcoin reaching the lows of the $200s that bitcoin prices had reached their bottom (for example in the $400s in early summer 2014 and then in the upper $300s in about October 2014). Those ended up being somewhat sad times in bitcoinlandia because the price stability ladder kept going down.. and then got stuck in the $200s for almost a year... so lots of holding and lots of loss of hope during that time... and lots of folks whose BTC holdings were quite far in the red. 90% of my coins were bought in the $200 dollar range. For me I remember paying £2xx each for most of them. I was lurking around in 2013 and had 1 coin before then November pump and I was devastated I thought I'd missed the boat so to speak. Then when things got really bad during the downtrend I watched and watched and then pounced a little bit above the lowest point. Never got them the cheapest but I was happy I was in the game. O.k.... that makes sense, yet it sounds as if you had quite a bit of patience (and maybe luck) to be able to wait to come in to bitcoin at such a low price point... and then still have enough confidence to invest, while it is low, like that... Like I said the dips in 2014 in the $400s and in the $300s were very tempting for a lot of folks who really consider those price points to be the bottom (which ended up NOT being the case). A lot of the whole situation seems to be water under the bridge anyhow, at this point, because even folks who bought lots of coins in the $300s and $400s are still doing pretty good in their overall investment, as long as they had enough patience to hold onto their coins throughout the troubling times of 2015 |

Well, well, well, good morning Bitcoinland.
Quite a night. I missed joining the party here last night because I was gigging, but we were taking a break when we broke $900 and people around me were asking me why I was punching the air while staring at my Android device. I told them I just earned $25k.
I would keep quiet about having that much invested in bitcoin. Otherwise you run the risk of the news spreading by word of mouth until a bad guy hears about it. Thanks for the concern but these were a couple of close musician friends. I don't brag about money in public. |

Maybe this bullrun will rise to around $2000 - $3000 then drops back to $1500 - $1000.  |

In a sense, this price is where its should have been (more or less) when BTC halved. Kinda just now catching up... good for the struggling miners who took a huge hit.

"wake up"? this is BITCOIN no one here sleeps. we are woke af I've seen this trend more than once here, when it's like 1 - 2 A.M., the rally continues and the price continues to pick up. So I guess it's something has to be done with Chinese or Japanese or even Americans, but I see Japanese are the rally leaders this time. |

not really (for me). Unless you mean January 2013. Then I agree: it feels like the beginning of something big.
The fractal similarity between now and then hasn't gone unnoticed. I find it hard to imagine there could be such a % increase again, but I guess you can never say never with Bitcoin. |

This has been the issue since day 1. It does seem that they have awoke cause the price just went back to over $890 by $2.50 just in 10 minutes. So the giant has indeed awoken and is ready to roll again. Hop on the GO-train!  It is ready to rock!  |

We need to force the hand of faith quicker!.. Where in the part of the world will you be producing these bitcoins for fruit? It better be sunny there this time of year or it will not fly mate. I might put some of my satoshi into that business venture if it is somewhere that is summer time all hour of the year. |

The fractal similarity between now and then haven't gone unnoticed. I find it hard to imagine there could be such a % increase again, but I guess you can never say never with Bitcoin. Another banking crisis could stimulate such a % increase again. Deutsche Bank agreed to pay the US a $7.2 billion fine today, and Italy's oldest bank's getting a bail out. Banks mirror exchanges in claiming they are solvent, then suddenly announcing they have been effectively bankrupt for years. A crisis could emerge without much warning. |
