The reward halving will help the price to go up

it will help bitcoin rise to $0.00002 from $0.00001 if bitcoin can live til there

Why do you lose time here if you don't believe on Bitcoin at all?

Perhaps a combination of bitterness about not buying in earlier, investments that would benefit from sinking $ value, and a total lack of anything better to do?

His BTC lost value, but still the same amount, so he didnt lose anything dont worry

A bit extreme to buy all of that? Yes, but cant blame him im about 70% BTC as well since the drop, floor seems to be consistent enough, lets see what bitstamp does to the price when they resume

If he sold the house around 800$ and the price is now 300$ he lost 5/8th of its value but he said he would not have been able to sell the house if it wasn't for bitcoins (which I doubt is true)

He sold the house on the 7th March 2014, when exchange price dropped from 660$ to 620$. Right now it's about 180$, this must have hurt (if he still holds coins and cares about price).

Sometimes, if it looks too bullish, it's actually bearish

Let's bump this thread in 2017, shall we? 

We can compare his bitcoin worth then, with what the house average appreciation would have been had he held on to it. Wink

He could have sold it cheaper and invest in stocks, gold, ... probably there would be only 5-10% gain per year. But he lost nearly 70%.

OP has disappeared, hope he is ok.  Very bad timing on investing if true, think many of us lost some though.

Just to recap the facts... the home value was ~$400,000 and the OP traded it for 648 BTC

At the current pricing the OP now has ~$117,000 in BTC

49.9 % ? what game is that ? roulette wheel has 1/2  white stripes too so i think its not as close to 50% after the house edge

i think btc could raise by 5000%

#wait and see Smiley

The upside is much bigger for Bitcoin and you have a legal risk of owning a property and many costs associated with it. Bitcoin is very risky and more volatile.
