I sold everything

Everyone talks about big commissions and that Bitcoin will fall very much. Roger Ver log in, please.
Don't panic, you know than BTC is a very volatile and speculative cryptocurrency. Some people and groups of people can manipulate the fears of novice investors and traders.
It's just your decision to sell or buy.

I think the FUD here are really targeting newcomers. For us, who have been here for so long are not affected by any negative news. Even at the height of China crisis, I didn't blink an eye and just hold on my bitcoin. But today, since the price is dropping at $14K, people panic, someone created FUD forcing newbies to make the hard decisions to sell or incurred lost.

I also sold mine at $19K, everything to be honest. Not because I panic but because I needed the money. But seeing the price today, I will definitely buy bitcoin back again and will HODL on it until such time that I some some emergency situations in my end.

And remember, you will always see people here creating FUD specially when the price is going down. The best thing is to is not to be affected by the negative news, but to keep calm and think of it long term.

That Prepaid.com guy and freight joe and thier newbie accounts been spreading fud for the past 2 weeks.  I been calling it out, people are in here trying to cause panic in the bitcoin community, you guys are not fighting enough to report them for spamming useless topics

Price is down 6000$ in just 4 days - that is just fact. If that gives you cause to feel fear, uncertainty and doubt that is really something that should lead you to re-examine your "investment strategy"

[demesmaeker2]

No idea who "prepaid guy" or "freight joe" is, but I have nothing to do with them and I think it wrong of you to accuse me of that.
I think my opinion is not useless. Just like your comments are not useless.
Please have some respect for other people.  
Since noone knows  the future of bitcoin,  It is not wrong or right to sell or buy right now. Noone knows how it will be.

Are you saying people should be quiet when they are selling because they think it is going bad?
And when it is going well and say "Yesss...it is going fine" they can talk?  

Still, have a nice day. And think twice before insulting and accusing people you do not know.

Yep. I notice that also. Many newbie/low rank account keep spreading FUD news regarding selling BTC since last week and I think many bandwagon holders are now selling because of this FUD. Also, the title of this thread is very misleading. This topic must not be created as well. Why you just reply that post of yours on the thread were you see it since you just reply in the first place?

The mods must ACT now or else this forum will be flooded by FUD news made by group of people that want to destroy BTC and we all know who is them right?  

[hndrk10]

I think you risked a lot by selling everything and buying Bitcoin. Never trust anything 100%. And I pray to god you are not a short termn investor, because hey, your risk increased x10!

This is actually showing very well why the price is now going into the crash.

People like you are so afraid of negative views that you want to silence people that do not only say the nice things you like to hear. You are afraid the just a few critical words will damage your investment. Well, that shows that you are genuinely afraid that your investment is so weak that it can be blown over by words in a forum. Truly that shows an extremely weak business value.

Basically, anytime someone calls for censorship towards a particular view, it shows they have no arguments and no solid case, and hope that by silencing the critics the problem will go away. It won't.

[vinc3]

I feel you man, sometimes all we just need is a breather then we will be alright  once again, I am very optimistic that you will be back again. I hope this crash will not be that bad for it is not good for the heart especially it is Christmas time. I can see that your government is very strict when it comes to cryptocurrecncy to your country, hope you'll find the courage to be here once again and join the party.

Hi there! You misread my first post. I did not sell everything to buy bitcoin (THANK GOD! haha).
I sold all my bitcoins (Everything = all my bitcoins).

With all the transaction fees, exchange fees, conversion fees etc,.. I probably have no loss/ a little profit.
Not sure yet untill I really get the amount on my bank account (that will take two days)

[zolfa]

I bought bitcoin at 18,700, and now it costs less than 14,000. But I'm not going to sell, I'll be waiting for the raise. I hope that after the new year bitcoin will resume its rise in price. Diversification does not always help. Almost all cryptocurrencies have fallen in price over the last 2 days.

yes, your chance to profit from BTC is huge, do not you hear what people are saying about the bitcoin price reduction. all you have to do today is look at the graph of bitcoin fluctuations, and you should be optimistic that in the new year 2018, bitcoin will rise again.

[Treshkilling]

Friend, it's your business, if you feel uncomfortable, why not. My opinion, while it is possible to make a profit, it is better not to miss the moment, but what about taxes, a topic dull

I agree with you,. We do not want any censorship. Both the good and the bad news should be visible to everyone.

I sure hope that noone lost too much now. And I hope that those who did, can look back at this moment with a smile a few months from now. Or maybe a few days??? Who knows! Anything can happen.

To some extent, bitcoin is similar to the lottery. But I do not think it's necessary to panic and sell everything that is. Personally, I'm waiting for the highest price.

[traderethereum]

so you can learn from what you did, right? and if you decide to come back into the cryptocurrency again, make sure that you prepare yourself because, in crypto, everything is possible and make sure you know what you should do if you face the same experience. and who knows if you come back, you can be grown than yesterday and you can make a big profit because once we can learn from the experience, we can increase our skill and our knowledge and we will not do the same mistake in the future.

[RockBar0]

Maybe people want to sell btc to celebrate Christmas, they need money to go play Christmas. Bitcoin prices may drop a bit and go up after Christmas

Exactly! Everything is possible.
I keep reading about it. Crypto is the best way to transfer money...
It is the things that are related to a/the coin  (transaction time, transaction fees, conversion tables, taxes, what kind of wallet, riskfactors, ...) that are quite timeconsuming when you have a fulltime job
That is why I never put so much money in there that I would feel unconfortable.
So even without any profit, I am still smiling. 

[CryptoClown]

If you sold everything because you can't get used to experiencing the ups and downs of crypto currency prices makes me think that crypto isn't for you. The ups and downs of prices is very normal and if you'll only hold on to your coins you'll profit more than what you have today. Hope you won't regret your decision though, good luck on buying another coins when it dips which is happening right now since the market is red.

[Dapper]

Ready to increase my holdings as soon as this bottoms out.   This is a great opportunity for those with cash reserves.

[migolmigol]

I actually just did the same thing. I believe also that Bitcoin is for everyone. And as the price of Bitcoin continues to go down I decided to sold everything for a while but will not cash out from my account. I predict that it will go back up soon, hopefully first quarter next year. And probably I would buy bitcoins again when I feel that the time of rising back is coming. That's just how trading works. Even in stocks. Buy low sell high is the basic principle and that's what some did. It is not we do not believe in Bitcoins.

[AlexW333]

it will be ok again

normal correctin

[error08]

That's a though decision, but as long as you already have profit, it's fine. Moreover, the hassle of paying taxes for capital gains, going through all the documents, LoL . You can buy back bitcoin in the dip, though. Keep it for a long-term and just don't care about the price.
We know bitcoin will reach higher price, it's constantly increases over time, limited supply and high demand make sure it happens.
If you can hold it for a long term, you may try over the counter trading through localbitcoins, no need to pay taxes.

[TheBeardedBaby]

Hello from Norway
I know what you mean about taxes, It's horrible here too but I'm gonna hold my small bitcoin fortune a bit longer (no matter what). I enter this horse race rather late @3500$ this summer but I'm gonna hold it even if it falls down to 3K$ now. If you have no nerves for this is gonna be sell and forget.
