Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[rokkyroad]

I would seriously appreciate the bottom, need to take my life back. Please.

I hear ya.  Is it just me or has anyone else been delaying things until BTC decides to go up in price again?

It is a bit painful.  We are perhaps a little "overinvested" right now.  Sure, we can sell coins right now (not even at a loss of what we paid originally) but it is a horrible time to sell, so we wait, and wait and wait.    

In the mean time, we could really use a new couch, new carpet, have a zero percent credit card that we are just delaying paying because we don't really want to sell coins and then Christmas is just around the corner.  The kids really want a nice Christmas.  Hopefully we are at least back to $600 by then?  I can hope anyways.

I'm thinking Feb., March for up trend. Cannot see people investing much in btc with Christmas looming. The new year may see more lows with people cashing in btc to pay for the holidays. Who really knows?

Won't happen this time, the bubble I mean, but it happened last year exactly in front of Christmas. It isn't important.

Do you have a plan in case bitcoin goes below $275 and stays lower for several months or even 1-2 years?
This kind of thinking of delaying and being overinvested in bitcoin is going to lead to a massive panic dump like the good old times if we go below $275. Dunno if it will break, but be careful.

WC3's Web Payments Redesign Could Bypass Bitcoin

Lower prices make Bitcoin more affordable for the masses.
Thank Satoshi Bitcoin's laissez faire individuality won't be shackled by WC3's fascist strictures and regulations.
Very welcome bullish news

oh look, those magical paintings again

lol

This is the transfer of wealth going on right now - rich fiat is coming and buying at a relatively low point while truely early adopters need cash to maintain.

Good time for this, hopefully we see $100 soon.

sure, this must be it !

Under  $320  before the end of 2014 , is it possible ?

[spooderman]

touch the 200s again for me. My bid order was 1 dollar too low last time

Under 320 USD?

Almost certainly, it could quite easily drop that low by the end of the weekend unfortunately.

Smile all you want I am stocking BTC with a monthly buy - I very rarely sell any.  I came in after runup to $250 in May 2013, I am HODLing for a very, very, very long time and dont ever have to sell.

I have funds waiting on COIN ETF but if we get to a price that I think is better and easier to deal with I do a bulk buy.

I am not the only one doing this - see http://avc.com/2014/10/averaging-in-and-averaging-out/

I am planning to hoard my coins for a very long time but it doesn't make it feel any better when the price is on a downward spiral.

Well, the good news is that even if we sell at $275, that is above our entry point.  So the plan is sell only when totally necessary!    The question is more about what is deemed "necessary."  If we have to sell a substantial amount we could and will but we won't need to for several more months (could delay it even longer if we take advantage of more zero percent interest credit but that is a game that I really don't like playing too much.)  I think part of me feels like it is a game of who can wait the longest.  There are people trying to shake out the weak hands and I don't want to be the "weak hands" being shaken out!  Hodl on!

I just need to look at this chart to understand we are at a really dangerous point. Fiat bid sum is returning to prebubble levels, while bitcoin supply is quite higher. And it is quite scary while we are approaching to an important key level like $275.

Miners and merchants are drying the exchanges, current prices are not sustainable for a long time. Fiat entries needs to be improved, plus a massive pump event to break all the resistances to bring price to ATH where it can rally again. ETF probably will do this work, but there could be delays until it is up, you know how this things works.
Until that, IMO, bitcoin will keep slowly bleeding, with its ups and downs.

That's exactly how I feel.

If its a sinking ship, so be it.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

If its a sinking ship, so be it.

It's the way it has to be.

I've invested about 5000 GBP.
I can afford to lose that money (not that I'd be happy about it).

The BTC I hoard will either make me a large sum of cash or flitter out into nothing.
I'm here for the long term 10-20 years.

Strong hands.

Strong hands.

Sometimes I wonder if some of you even account for the possibility that the huge runups might be over.

Well the chance of that is not that high anyway. I won't be considering this a likely outcome for years to come.

Thats what everyone says, but it will be interesting to see if you can afford to hold BTC, if you lose a job, when you buy a house, when you have kids, etc.

If a BTC hits $50k USD in 5 years can you still hold onto it?

If 1 BTC hits 50k I will sell 75% of my stash and be a very wealthy man.
