The price is just a number, it is low? Then it is a great moment to buy.

Unless it keeps going lower. Been a lot of bad press lately. Arrests in the US, Bitcoin made illegal in Russia, 2 out of 3 exchange halting withdrawals. I respect you for keeping your cool far better than me.

Nothing goes up in a straight line. Nothing.
Those of us around Bitcoin a while are very familiar with price dips. I view it as a great thing. People get so caught up on the price. Everybody views Bitcoin as some weird stock/investment anomaly. Bitcoin is a cur-ren-cy. Hint: a currency doesn't work if only a few people hold it. The cheaper Bitcoins are the more people can afford to access some significant number of them. Long periods of cheap Bitcoin prices mean more even and widespread distribution.

I was here when it went from 30 to 2. No way a price of 450 scare me, from 30 to 450 is a good news here, not a bad one  |

That's a good point. I'm still new to bitcoin. Any chance the US would ever make it illegal? |

Unlikely, at least the US has showed no signs or interested in doing such a thing and instead realize it's creating news jobs and business opportunities. The US does want to regulate it, so it's yet to be seen if regulations will be so harsh it cripples many of the benefits of bitcoin ever becoming massively adopted or if they will use more common sense regulations that allow bitcoin and the technology around it to flourish. |

No reason to worry about that at this point because all indications are GO. The US wants to take the lead here and is afraid if we don't other countries will step in. For example: http://www.coindesk.com/california-bill-bitcoin-lawful-money/ |

Probably a good time to buy some bitcoin imo. We've seen drops like this in the past on bad news and it's always rebounded for the most part. It's only been a few days of bad news, lets come back and look about it in a few weeks/months at the earliest.

Prices will probably rise back up a bit once withdrawals are allowed again on bitstamp and gox.

Quoted for truth! Agree, somebody should write a bitcoin bible and quote it there! Just realized that putting all the best bitcoin quotes together would be a great idea, maybe in a few years we'll see it printed in a milion copies |

I was here when it went from 30 to 2. No way a price of 450 scare me, from 30 to 450 is a good news here, not a bad one Back in that times banks were not issuing "warning" statements, Russia and China were silent about bitcoins, Mt. Gox were up and running, people were excited about new thing. This time it is different. They are teaching everyday Joes that bitcoin is only good for sex-dot-com and silk road. FUD. Growing electricity costs and falling exchange rate and growing diff - all this does not make financially feasible to keep mining. I dono.. Just thoughts. |
