Shit this is that classic thread that indicates a floor has been hit. i was really hoping for cheaper coins.

You said less than a week ago that Bitcoin was going to do nothing but trend at $800.

(you were proven wrong within 3-4 hours).

What he said has nothing about his previous predictions to do

Not all of my posts are to be taken seriously, including the one you are quoting. I was making jokes about 800 because we had bounced back to 800 5 times already and I was getting sick of it.

Don't listen to the echo chamber; no one has ever gone broke by locking in profits.

Who says the OP can actually lock in profits at these prices? Tongue

Lock in profits in what currency? Yeah, you made few more monopoly bucks and meanwhile lost the only real money you had.

True, but cmon, it's just one fella sold his coins. you need a larger measure of sentiment. 500 is still in striking distance just by correction.

I'll take USD over BTC any day of the week.   In fact, the only use I have for BTC is as a speculative tool to grow my USD.

Using margin for the least amount of time is generally the right thing to do. One needs very good reasons to deviate from this.

Funny, I only have fiat for (relatively) short term liquidity. It's like a leaky balloon being passed around a crowd and you want to hold it the least amount of time possible.

Last time I checked USD didn't lose 40% since December like bitcoin did.

USD doesn't really have any value. It's only useful because most of the world hasn't figured this out yet. Pssst don't tell anyone Wink

USD didn't net you a return of 500% over a few months either

Perhaps you should check USD against bitcoin one year ago. I'm pretty sure USD lost a couple 1000% there...

Giant swings in purchasing power isn't a positive quality in a currency.  In a stock, commodity, or other investment vehicle sure...but in a currency, it is a very BAD thing.

SAY WHAT!?  Roll Eyes

What a great big pile of complete and utter common sense!

Are you sure you are on the right forum?

Kraken Account, Robbed/Emptied. Kraken say "Fuck you, its your loss": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1559553.msg15656643#msg15656643

Bitfinex victims. DO NOT TOUCH THE BFX TOKEN! Start moving it around, or trading it, and you will be construed as having accepted it as an alternative means of payment to your USD, BTC, etc.

ya you're right, USD loses 3-12% in real value and some thousands % relative to bitcoin per annum :p

I just use bitcoin as my savings account and disregard current price. if i need something i sell bitcoin into my checking account to buy it. no way will my spending ever outpace Bitcoin appreciation this way. As a Bitcoin investor, I hate selling and the process keeps my material wants in check Smiley
