Yes, another thread about the falling Bitcoin price.
I know the ship has sailed because I have finally put money into Bitcoins and every investment that I finally get around to making is at the end of its hayday.
Back in 2001 I finally bought some dotcom stock so that I could get in on the millions that everyone else had been making for the past few years...I had followed it closely from early on and finally bit the bullet and jumped in. That is when the dotcom bubble burst. I lost all of my investment.
I did see the gold thing skyrocketing back in 2005 so I knew that it would go up. So I dropped $20,000 in when it was $400 per ounce. Then my company, SAIC announced that they were going to IPO in a year and that they were offering employees share purchases up to $20,000. So I waited while gold JUMPED to $425 and sold sold sold...and put all of that money into SAIC's IPO at $42 per share which eventually split and dropped and I eventually got my money out at $18 per share.
Then came housing...I bought a house in 2007 at the height of the housing bubble. Fortunately I bought my house in Texas which was not as expensive as other places, needless to say, I lost money when I sold it 2 years later. I sold that house and bought a house in Florida...needless to say, the Florida market is not doing all that great right now.
I found out about BitCoins about a year ago and tried to get the mining to work on my computer but after it rebooted once it started coming up with errors so I gave up on trying to mine, back when a Bitcoin was worth less than a dollar.
I have always planned on getting some Bitcoins but just never got around to it...until this past week. I finally got money transferred through my Dwolla to MtGox and bought at $16.00 per BitCoin.
Expect BitCoin to now crumble like all of my other investments.
I have also been looking into land in Costa Rica...

Haha, wow, talk about bad luck. It would be funny if bitcoins crashed to $0.01 now. I'd totally blame you. You bastard.

Bitcoin is only getting started. The initial hype has sailed, and some air seems to be blowing out of the bubble, but note that it was never meant as an investment so that's ok with me.
I'm sure as soon as the services people are working on right now pop up, it'll get bigger again.

I predict that to happen as soon as Elwar cashes in his/her bitcoins. |

Ah yes, I've been waiting for you to get into bitcoins so that I would know when to get out. Thank you. |
Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

Right when I find some good sites to spend my extra bitcoins at, this guy comes along and rains on my day.  Maybe it was him that bought BTC at $30 and made the market tank, but he doesn't want to admit it  |

I don't think bitcoin has 'jumped the shark' just yet. Funny story though. Hell, most people don't even know bitcoin exists, hard to preach a saturation scenario with less than 0.05% of North America involved right now. It would be exciting if the pacific rim countries jumped into the fray.

OP, you can be a winner too. You can get money. just quit whacking off, or start whacking off, whichever one it is, isn't working for you, so you need to do the other now. Today is the first day to you, getting money. |

Well it shouldnt be too late, for me it seems like its either you get in now at 14 to 15, you missed the 86 cents beginining and 30 dollar each sale point, but if we get in at 14 to 15, all the businesses open up, more services, more trust, fourth of july weekend over and trading back up, mining gets harder less and less bitcoins available, then I am hoping it should pop up steadily to a nice price point to triple or quadruple are money
Or in the next months bitcoins will fail completely. So its either miss it once, miss it twice and still make out, or miss it a third time as it goes up, last choice get in way to high at 100 a coin and waste ya money lol. Just take the risk now or dont take it at all, thats what Im thinkin lol
