Theses exchange fees are killing me... One good trade (good profit), three bad trades (buy/sell at same value), and here I'm lower than where I started...

Ok I will say it. $7550 by the end of the year and $16000 by the end 2018. I played a bit with the charts and did some pure speculation (imagined 2% of the world population using Bitcoin, ETFs approved and such). It's always good to write down our goals. Sometimes we reach them

One silver moon and three sad kittehs. It's a recurrent theme. Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.

The trick is to try not to guess the short term direction of the market because that is nearly an impossible task; however, you should consider whether you believe we are in a bear market or a bull market - and even to have an assumption (hopefully based on knowledge) that in the long term, BTC prices are going up. In essence, buy BTC on the way down and sell BTC on the way up; however, play with small enough amounts that you do not care if your sales get left behind - so for example, I sell approximately 1% of my BTC holdings for every 10% that the price goes up, and currently I do it in $100 increments. You can tweak these increment matters or amount that you play with and work out a system that works for you, but your increments have to be sufficiently large to pay for exchange fees, so generally if the fees are .2% on each end, then your total fees are .4% to perform a buy and a sell. There are not too many reasons to create buy/sell increments that are less than 1% (unless maybe you are just covering a mistake that you made - like when you had accidentally bought when you meant to sell or the opposite) because even with a 1% profit, your real profits after account for the fees would only be .6%.

Looking at history, we are not in 2013 bubble territory yet. Just sit tight.

<gribble> Bitstamp | Total bids: 46034286 USD. Total asks: 1994 BTC. Ratio: 23074.89489 USD/BTC. | Data vintage: 0.0156 seconds
The buy side is hitting record highs every other day. I can't possibly figure out why someone would want to sell significant sums at this point, unless they're trying to game the market. There will be a lot of hurt people who sold this year.

There will be a lot of hurt people who sold this year. I think some people have preset exit points, such as when it reaches just under $5k, I'll sell x% which will allow me to say buy a car, or pay off my mortgage. People have learnt from previous points ($1k) and decided to set their price point slightly under the round figure of $5k, I bet when we get near $10, people wil have learnt from the $5K dumps and start even earlier. Everyone knows that it will probably go up, but when you hit a life changing price target, you'd be mad to continue taking 100% risk. But I'm still all in.

Everyone knows that holding dollar, euro, yen, pound and other fiat trash is nothing else but taking 100% risk. It is not just risk. It is stupidity because it is a sure loss. Holding bitcoins is the most successful escape from that risk! Unless, as you say, they want very much to buy something tangible like car or house. But make no mistake! This car or this house will be the most expensive house they'll ever see throughout their entire life. For instance, I know people that sold their bitcoins at 750 euros to buy a bike. At that time I warned them that they're buying the most expensive bike they'll ever see!

Buy a car? Such an useless waste of money. Everyone knows that it will probably go up, but when you hit a life changing price target, you'd be mad to continue taking 100% risk.
That is absolute horse shit. If you understand something better than the 99% of the population, then you should be going 110% in (of course, only if it makes sense to invest). The best time to buy Bitcoin was 7 years ago, the second best time is today. Quote me on this in 3 years and you will see whether going in 50% or 100% was the smarter choice.

Its like that game "Deal or no Deal", the best chance of a high return is always gained by going to the end and never swapping your box. But in reality its not always the best decision. Another example, lets say you are fairly poor, and I gave you $100K, but said your could win another $200k, on a 50/50 coin toss (Giving you a total of $300k if you win, $0 if you lose), I don't think the decision is so easy. Your life is finite, so money now is sometimes better than a chance of more money the future, you just have to assess the amounts, probabilities and risk you want to accept.

If you believe that it is 100% certain that Bitcoin will go up, then do it! And spend the next X years, not enjoying the fruits of your capital. Of course you might die before you cash out, and then you got no benefit from it at all. But perhaps your youth means you don't believe in your own death yet.
