Since everyone on this forum is apparently a financial guru and so sure of the success of bitcoin... Why did you buy bitcoin today, or any time over the last week? State why you bought, the amount, and the reason. I'll guess the answer you guys are going to give: I bought 0.001 btc because I pretend to be a bitcoin professional and price is going to be 10 k by june! I purchased btc because the price has to go up, and your stuck in denial land. Its a fun place, bitcoins lead you on extorting you out of money all night, only to promise more after the next expensive date I'm waiting for the price to go down more to purchase, because the price will go up at certain buy walls and i'll make money. I'm waiting for the price to go down and then the long hold. If your one of these guys who is so sure of the value of btcoin, you'd have bought btc and then purchased an item with it in the last week, unless you live in the forest and go a week without spending money.

I bought this morning at $450 because every time it drops and I do not buy in I regret it later.

Planning to launch Zimbabwecoin in the future. Focused on building a community around it now.

Same reason I bought Apple years ago when everything was tanking. Researched reasons then bought. Believe in it long term. Don't need the cash right now. Other uses beside as currency, the blockchain that is. Measured buys with every drop. Not putting "life changing" amounts in though because this is speculation. It could all end... But I doubt it. This is China getting out. We still have Silk Road coins to absorb someday too don't forget.

I didn't buy any but worked to earn some BTC (more than one way) I am confident that we are near the bottom and prices will be higher later this year.

because i think it's an attractive bet. because in over 10 years of practicing technical analysis i have NEVER seen a chart survive several bubbles and stay within a logarithmic growth channel. because i am betting 5 won't break the pattern. of course it's a gamble, but a VERY attractive one.

With the volatility it beats a GIC by leaps and bounds for potential investment Albeit the risk balances it out in the long run

I don't speculate. I mine and spend. I like mining for fun and it's easier than buying bitcoin for expenditures.
I sometimes hold bitcoin for extended periods, but I just figure that it should just about should even out as far as gains and losses. I'd be far ahead were it not for MtGox. Shame on me for trusting them. I wish I knew how easy it was to set up a personal wallet then, as I would have.
I don't think bitcoin's value will be rooted in any kind of intrinsic value in the near future. Its price is based on predictive psychology. Given that the market reacted so strongly to a reasonable IRS policy ruling, I think we still have a good way downward to go now. Bitcoin will always be a little edgy/fringey because of its obvious utility in crime. Basing hopes on widespread acceptance worldwide is naive.
I'd be seriously buying to hold at 100, but right now I think it's still very puffed up. Buy when there's blood in the streets and total panicky desperation. We're not there yet.

Good investors always purchase the price drops and hold it and sell when the price go up. In bitcoin case after each crash we are experiencing huge rise.

State why you bought, the amount, and the reason.
I bought a few hundred $$$ worth because this was planned, as part of a buying strategy where I am buying fixed dollar amounts worth of Bitcoin over a period of time, and I have set aside funds dedicated towards making additional purchases during months or days when the price drops appreciably below the planned regular buy date, when I think a new minimum has been reached. I think the drop to $408 marks a new minimum price, for the next few months. I have some desire to hold Bitcoins to purchase bitcoin-denominated goods and services, and it appears to present an attractive potential reward for the risk. I do not claim to be a Bitcoin or Investing guru, but nonetheless: I am willing to throw a few chips in.

I have never purchased bitcoin with usd and it would be a stupid thing to advice others not to purchase it also because that would hurt the value but I would never buy bitcoins. I'm a miner I mine bitcoin I've spent bitcoin multiple times on overstock.com for computer equipment, shampoo and jewelry for the wife. I've also spent bitcoin in las vegas at The D Casino. I've also spent bitcoin to purchase miners from bitmaintech and other locals here in vegas. More and more people are accepting bitcoins now on craigslist and other classifieds.
I think of bitcoin like paypal but with more potential and less centralization. Remember when paypal started getting known to everyone it was crazy to store money online but look what paypal has done for online transactions and think of what the open crypto platform can improve on this so much possibility.
