how many times do i have to tell you it wasn't a simultaneous 1 for 1 exchange.  USD's are fungible you know and i accumulated much of my BTC before it reached $20 with other USD's.  why can't you understand that?  nice try.  keep trying.  Wink

i bought my first batch the Saturday of Easter weekend last year @ $1.60.  wasted about 2mo prior dicking around on OTC trying to buy but not knowing what i was doing with that.  i then started selling silver in May which silverbox can't ever seem to get straight.

I got interested sometime at the end of 2010 or begining of 2011.  Even downloaded the source code (which is a prerequisite for most any software I'm interested in and think I may need to trust.)  The driving force was a desire to help fund something I thought was worthwhile.  Maybe wikileaks, but I don't fully remember.

Alas, my attention shifted to finding and buying some property which finished up in like June 2011, then I got re-interested Bitcoin.  By the time if figured out the ins and outs of obtaining Bitcoin it was down to around $16 from it's $32 highs.

Thankfully we all got another chance to get our foots in the door on the way down to $2, and I inserted my foot and a portion of my lower leg.  More than I anticipated.

Not sure what a 'DCA' is and am to lazy to look, but I suspect from the context it is the break even point.  For me it's around $6/BTC.  Looking forward to hearing from my dear friend cypherdoc on this (but would fully understand his or anyone else's reluctance to share such details as it is not a good idea to do so for any number of reasons.)

i'll assume you inspected the code.  see, this is why i am so bullish on Bitcoin as an open source project.  as arrogant as i may seem about financial stuff i fully admit i can't read code at all and rely on smarter ppl in this area such as you to protect my investments.  we're all working towards the same goals here.

It's TIME for all pm bulls to step and BUY.

Never mind that SLV has broken the Dec lows and is going to plunge.

It stays this low or lower into the next FOMC meeting and I'll be buying more GPL.

Knifecatcher.

Listen to Ben Davies KWN podcast.  There's a structural problem with how mining companies have been financing themselves.  MANY will go out of business.

Not knifecatching.  Dollar cost averaging into a minor downturn..

minor?  GPL is down close to 20%!  if i made a recommendation like that to my subs they'd dump me in an instant.  this is what u don't realize when u accuse me of cheerleading; i'm held accountable for what i say or recommend.

So when you said to buy BTC at $22.  

get ready to buy. Wink

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=14914.msg200056#msg200056

You should be accountable for that?  


I hope one day that will actually be good advice Wink


You know all that silver bullion you sold at the "top" of silver... You state here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=16005.msg210062#msg210062

That you used those proceeds to BUY BTC.. on June 12, 2011.  BTC price was $17..


Hows that working out for you?  sold silver at the top to buy into BTC at near the top..  Then BTC crashed to $2..  Nice trade mate.  17 to 2, fucking brilliant!

Yup I'm down 20% on the one trade I disclosed, we'll see where it goes from here, I think I can outperform your 88% loss on your move into BTC with your silver proceeds.

no.  i didn't have subs back then and this is the Spec Forum.  that thread was filled with trolling, me included.

it's also clear that i started buying @ $1.60 last year April and then again @ $2 last November.

overall i'm up on my Bitcoin so don't feel sorry for me.

Cheers Wink.  I'm a BTC bull too Wink.  I'd have probably been cheerleading for it to go higher as it crashed also, lol.

I'm just going to requote this..

I wouldn't be too worried, the price of bitcoins will bounce back to silver parity pretty quick. In a couple months a 1/1 trade of bitcoins to silver will look silly because bitcoins will be so much higher.

You know, that is kind of what I thought too. It would seem to make sense that if you had a large position in silver you would want to go ahead and move part of it over to Bitcoin.

i've already done just that with my silver bullion.  i'm actually thinking of selling my gold bullion as well.  risky i know.

this is the pertinent part..

glad to know you care enough about what i say to go back and check.  is there an inconsistency here?  i said i started selling silver in May 2011 at the top @ $49 with a total sell average of about $44.  and yes i sold most of my gold bullion too during August.

Don't feel bad. I sold 60 ounces of silver and bought my first 1.2GH/s miner in early May 2011. It netted me about $5000 worth of bitcoins. Sold more silver and added 3GH/s. Netted me another $10k worth of bitcoins.

Then my worst move was when I sold the rest of my silver and bought bitcoins around $17 per ounce too.

But I made bank with IXC, I0C, SC, GG, and most recently Litecoin by buying a ton of them with my bitcoins.

I'm buying slowly over time...i think silver prices may go lower but the price you will pay for physical silver bullion will not go down much due to supply restrictions.

and you used the proceeds of that selling to buy BTC when it was 20-30 per.

Great trade!! Wink  You always forget to mention that you bought BTC at the peak with the silver proceeds when you talk about how you made such a great call to sell silver at the peak.  

I love your selective disclosure of your good trades, but failure to mention your bad ones.

you misunderstand me.  i'm delighted i got out of silver at an avg cost of $44 when i had bought btwn $9-12.  i think it goes down further from here.
