There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Don't worry, even if it's the end of bitcoin, the bitcoin drama will continue for quite a while yet.

probably become stable for a while around $4, there is a pretty sizeable bid wall there.
I agree, it should stop dropping around $4, as that is the cost for most people to produce them.

I do not think it was lowly miners causing the price to drop. It was people with massive amounts of
money that bought BTC or cheaply bought BTC (early adopters) that decided to just dump it all.

Miners do not all sell 15000K at once.. in a one hour period.

Larger players wanted out.

Bitcoin was a very slow and gradual fall. Buyers just dried up. They do not think bitcoins are worth that much obviously. I think it is good that bitcoins are cheap, we can finally start to use them instead of hoarding them.


Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

So, assuming the price levels out, this would be the best time to start buying :-)

Haha, you weren't around when an 25k wall at 6$ got smashed like it was nothing? Cheesy

One has to wonder why the early adopters and larger players are cashing out? Why are they wanting out? Do they know something the rest of us don't?

They don't want to take any more risk. Since BTC has an low chance of going back up, they think that this "gambling" should come to an end.

The more you believe in Bitcoin, and the more you show you do to other people, the faster the real value will soar!

The real question is why would anyone with a lot of bitcoins still be in.

*wonders if this was the same kind of discussions had when the first stock/commodities markets emerged?....*
No. Stock markets emerged because there was a need to get enough capital together to  build or do something bigger than one person could afford, like a ship or a railroad. Commodity markets emerged so that farmers who wanted to know the price of their crops before planting them could buy options to protect themselves against price drops, and, on the other side.

People with lots of bitcoins would still be in if they expect the future price to be higher than today.  Watch for mass panic selling if those with substantial bitcoin holdings independently decide 'this is as good as it gets' and decide to bail out while their bit fortunes are still worth something. 

No matter how libertarian one's views are (and how much they detest fiat currencies), I suspect they would sell up now if they thought bitcoins would continue their slide towards parity with the US dollar.  They can always buy more later on and enjoy even more freedom.
