There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

this catastrophic price movement (i am losing a fortune) The price now is what the price was in May, and about 4x what it was a year ago, and 40x what it was 2 years ago. What are you doing so wrong that you're losing a fortune under these circumstances? |

People who bought at the beginning of the year are now tired and fearful of this market. People who bought since mid- May are now tired and fearful of this market. So who's left to buy now?
It works both ways. At some point there will be nobody left to sell and plenty of buyers waiting with forks and knives. That's when it reverses. |

Under those circumstances, yes he would be losing a fortune. |

Looks like BTC is 95% of the crypto-currency market in terms of market cap. Source: my rough adding of coinmarketcap.com

That's exactly what people were saying back in April, after the reversal. And look what has happened since? We're right back to where we were. Who's to say it can't happen again, a second time? |

You've got to wonder at this point who would be crazy enough to keep holding bitcoin. All signs point to a further cascade in price... to be holding right now you either need to be
A) delusional
B) Have no appreciation for the value of moneydollars
Damn it, I fit in both. |

Under those circumstances, yes he would be losing a fortune. Unrealized losses aren't real unless you make them real. Some people are just incredibly impatient. |

It's because in the whales' quest for margin call hunting (first Bitfinex, then BTC-e), they have effectively killed the market, killed off all confidence in it now. No sharp bounce from a local bottom like they expected, no strong support signal like we had in April. Completely reversing all the upward progress and momentum from mid- May.
People who bought at the beginning of the year are now tired and fearful of this market. People who bought since mid- May are now tired and fearful of this market. So who's left to buy now?
Looking at the charts, it looks a lot like 2011.
Post of the day. Mt. Gox is also part of the problem. Most people are unwilling to leave fiat on an exchange, so there is a 4 business day lag before new buying can start. Yeah, bullshit post of the day. There are no "whales" manipulating the market. It's third party payment processors like coinbase and bitpay liquidating their customer's coins, along with investors losing faith in the market. It's really that simple.. more sellers than buyers, along with ~3600 new coins minted EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. But because so many people here put their heart and souls into this technology, they need to believe that it was some kind of conspiracy working against them. Ridiculous. |

We must hear some news soon, it's too strong selling without something behind it.
Btc-e is completely mental, 30$ below everyone.
