So from the posts I read from you on the topic of speculation in recent posts. The short term expectations is pretty much unknown but it is a good buy time, correct?
That is my opinion as well. I am buying small amounts almost every workday. |

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

I've bought a lot in the last month. Managed to catch a $400, $375 and $350. Now I just need it to go up before summer vacation since it's our vacation money.  |

I admire your balls and resolve. However, sometimes, I do think you have been at the crack pipe The funny thing is we are super conservative in most things. Never gamble, don't even drink and I don't think I have ever even seen a "crack pipe" and as far as investing in anything, I am super cheap. (BitchicksHusband is not as cheap and likes nice vacations as well as "quality" over quantity) That said, I think taking this much risk in Bitcoin would seem out of our character from an outsider's point of view. It is just that we believe in it that much. Part of "faith" is being certain of things you hope for. We are actually fairly certain at this point that Bitcoin will at least have another rally, or two or three. I think we really feel like there is little risk vs. reward here. And if the worst thing that happens with buying more coin this past month is that the kids miss out on a Summer trip to Disney World, oh well. It is hot and humid in the Summer there anyways! |

All the rest of my BTC I get from mining.. I don't buy no stinking BTC  If it went down to $100 I would probably then buy 10 more.. |

Electricity is so expensive where we living it is more profitable just to buy. |

I'm not sure what Risto's thoughts on that are, but analysis of this giant wedge we're in on the one day charts would indicate we could reach that low in the next few weeks before breaking out. I don't think it will go any lower than that though. |

I feel like we'll break $400 again sometime this month, but hopefully $338 holds. |

I don't think it will go any lower than that though. Do you think that the April low at $338 was the bottom for this bubble? I am quite confident it will go to 350 again. I am keeping a small amount at that range in case it does. Keep in mind its not based on fancy analysis or charts, but things have usually been working out for me. Sometimes you may end up getting some crazy deal like when it went down to 102 at Btc-e. |
