more of a reminder that if anyone bought at a higher price that they will be selling it at - you should think about it a bit more.
nothing guarantees you a loss like a real, realized loss.

nothing has changed in the last week. the china news isn't bad no matter how you spin it. since nothing has changed keep in mind that most people who panic and sell at a loss later buy it back (after already taking a loss). if you are new then hopefully you thought about what you were doing when you bought in. think some more about realizing a loss.

it's happened many times. the results are always the same. most people who utilize the buy high sell low strategy aren't usually happy with their results.

a friendly reminder.

I can smell the fear, its all panic selling, will jump back up quickly, and a lot of people will have lost coins.

If everyone thought like that, crashes would be much rarer.

Did you find my posts helpful? Did I say say something nice? Your generosity is much appreciate.

those who do nothing but trade bitcoin for profit are an enormous tax on the system. if we want the system to prevail into real world usage, this type of trading has to be eliminated from the equation. first thing to go should be trading bots. atleast make the bitches work for the money they are pulling from other peoples pockets.

that's my 2 cents.

My negative trust rating is reflective of a personal vendetta by someone on default trust.

early adopters that did not take profits when it was over 1k are greedy and will learn the hard way.


never buy into the hype


predicting highs and lows in this environment is pointless

newbies best to sit on the sidelines until things settle & don't believe half the dribble posted on here, most are pro bitcoin and are blinded by emotions that entails common sense decision making during rally's and sell offs

there have been times where i have taken a quick loss (generally minimal though) when the market moves in a way i dont expect. sometimes there is much money to be made by admitting your mistake and going with the trend presented. being stuck in a losing trade can be very tough psychologically.

What exactly will we learn the hard way?  That when we sell at $2000 we could have had half as much 2 months earlier?

Folks, just buy and hold. The emotions can cloud rational thought without warning. Take it from this guy, http://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1r88vl/need_advice_on_inheritance_arbitrage_family_etc/ he lost $410k in the +6000%/year biggest bull market in history because he thought he could make money daytrading.

yes, correct.

keep in mind that most of the big investors haven't likely sold much at all and don't participate much in the day trading.
also, keep in mind that Snoop Dogg is getting into BTC now! people trust him more than the Winkelevii so just try to relax as much as possible and try to remain calm when making decisions.

Well, sometimes it's best to scrap a bad trade and take a minor loss, if it means making more money. I'm not married to a losing trade when it's clear that I've misread the market.

years you say? i say a few months (likely 1 month) at most.

based on how bitcoin behaves every single year since it's inception.

The world hasn't even seen bitcoin yet.  The Chinese merely dabbled in it.
