Said to myself in 2015 that I was happy with my stash & wouldn’t buy any more. Thought if this goes big (as in 1 bitcoin = over $40,000 I’ll have more than enough to be very wealthy).
Can’t help myself at the moment though, I’ve been buying every week since we went down to $7,000. This is free fucking money at the moment (you know what I mean).
Just bought another £250 worth.

A couple more months at this price levels and we will witness a bunch of bankruptcies in the crypto market: Miners manufacturers, mining operators, ICO's... It may be better in the long run, but it will be hard to watch nevertheless.
So true i'm buying miners, and currently opening a 2nd location. I don't pay much for them, as there are plenty for sale. Also keeping enough structure to add more if the come available for a good price...

I have fiat in, but this doesn't feel like the bottom while we're all bantering away and talking of 100K parties.
I don't think the people in this thread are any type of representation of the wider world. Even at $999 plenty here will still be in the black whereas your average Reddit mong will feel ruined. We'll be grumpy. He'll be thrashing in a pool of taupe shitwater. I know it's the diehard types here, and not representative. I was noting it is assumed this level of pain 'must be capitulation'. However, it is entirely possible, even likely it will go lower, perhaps shockingly so as you rightly said. Then there will be a fair while before it turns truly bullish. By the middle of next year, it could be pretty quiet in the WO. Well... except for JJG of course. Yeah don't forget the majority has lost money since their investment. A lot. While most of here are still at least up 10x initial investment if not 100x This gives food for thought : https://www.coindesk.com/when-bitcoins-price-breaks-down-it-follows-a-patternPersonally i hope Bitcoin hit bottom at $3300 (Bitstamp).

I guess one difference with 2014 is that back then, people were considering it a possibility BTC could dissapear slowly and die. Whereas now, people know BTC is here to stay (at least for some time to come) with all the nasdaq, ETF things going on. A possible recession could indeed slow things down, curious to see how it reacts.

Totally expecting a squeeze, though may have a little more doom first, still soggy at this level, maybe between here and $3150 ish we could have the squeeze.. then renewed doom Perhaps... though ultimately I think we break these lows again still More pain to come, capitulation and panic has not occurred to take the momentum out of this slide and form a solid bottom IMO

You lose smaller on bear market than in bull.
(snip)
Don't give up on your coin so easily.
Say you had a finite amount of fiat to invest; make it US$30k - You spend US$30k to get ten US$3k Bitcoin which subsequently drop in value to US$2k Bitcoin - you would be hodling Bitcoin worth US$20k of your initial US$30k investment. OR you spend US$30k to get two US$15k Bitcoin which subsequently devalue to US$10k Bitcoin - you would be hodling Bitcoin worth US$20k of your initial US$30k investment. Are you saying you "lose smaller" psychologically or am I so burned out from working night shifts that I am unable to comprehend a bigger picture here? I can't see the difference. No difference if you account in fiat. The accounting unit makes the difference. Lucid Homer should know better. Capitulating, are we?

why ETH falls stronger than bitcoin? Competitor's problems should be beneficial, not the other way around
Competitor? Which competitor? Ah, ETC, right. I guess competitor's problems could be beneficial in a closed system - one without inlets and outlets. But ETC's problems weren't too beneficial, I reckon. Therefore, it's not a closed system.

Dipping toe for 2nd time this year.. ($3400)
Potentially for a flip on a squeeze
Have a few more orders placed between $3300 and $3000 to catch any more dip before a potential short squeeze/relief rally (if we rally from here I will then cancel these in the interim whilst awaiting the next dooom and re assess depending on the squeeze/relief rally, should it occur here)
Still have original orders in place between $1150 and $2875

Thanks for the hope, guys. I am waiting for that short squeeze with a giddy heart so I can finally freeze some profit. Disclaimer: I account in btc. Your definition of "profit" may vary.

You are not alone, at this rate I will not have money for Christmas, without food, without drinks, without gifts, but with Bitcoin in my pocket.

But ETC's problems weren't too beneficial, I reckon. Therefore, it's not a closed system. I think alevlaslo meant Bitcoin as Ethereum's competitor... it's the false thinking that every coin is a competitor of each other. Since Bitcoin is falling, there are a few people who believe other coins should rise, but most of us understand why this is not how things work. I don't think Bitcoin has a competitor though, it's like the father of every coin. As for Ethereum, its only real competitor for me is ARK. ARK supports Smart Contracts on Javascript, Go, and Solidity, it connects different blockchains together with Smart Bridges, provides (will provide?) easy to use plugins for sidechains and forks, lower/dynamic fees... it's everything Ethereum should have been losing only in fame! ... sorry ... I went bit off-topic!

It's the idea that maybe I could buy more for the same money if it keeps dropping. I just don't think the bottom must be far from here. If it it is.... well, shit happens.

People dont know. Yes in this thread or this forum, many knows. But general public sees Bitcoin totally same as in 2015. And not to mention they will see Bitcoin like this most of next year.
