Buying and spending. Just like when the price is up. When it's down I do a little more buying than spending. When the price rises I do a bit more spending. Basically everything I buy, I buy at a discount. I would hope that the drop in price would somewhat encourage people to spend some of their coins. I think one problem that the bitcoin related economy has is the fact that there are too many people hording coins. I would argue that this is preventing merchant adoption from expanding faster then it is because even though accepting bitcoin is very cost efficient, less people spend it then there really should be.

I'm only holding a very small portion of BTC (0.2 BTC) at present<snip>
Although the price plummeted, I feel you are like a dare devil! Good luck. I'm comfortable at the moment. I place speculative buy orders, which means that I always win if they fill. However, on the flip side, if the price rockets then I'm behind the game. I've been pretty out of touch with recent goings on, so this price drop seems out of the blue to me. My biggest concern is the security and intention of certain exchanges.

A mix of holding and trading alts profits at the moment. I"m not really liking it so much right now because it is hard to decide which coin will bounce back and when. I want to add the the overall amount of Bitcoins I hold and other alts I believe have potential. I'm trying to do better at what I tell myself is low risk speculating. In reality it is probably more "calculated gambling".

I sold 0.1 BTC to help pay my (overpriced) electricity bill this month. It's all my fault!

When bitcoin prices fall I sell because it is worth less. When it goes back up I buy because it is worth more . I am 100% sure people do this

Holyshit, the stupidity coming out of your mouth. Spending btc is just like selling btc on the exchange because all merchants are using gateways such as bitpay or coinbase. If the price drops, that means theres MORE selling than buying.

I've been doing nothing the same I always do. Once you've been in bitcoin a while thre crashes and bounce backs are normal. Sure, I got worried the first time it happened but now I just carry on and my hope is for what bitcoin will be worth in the near future, not today or tomorrow or even later this year.

I am guessing many speculators are playing catch the falling knife.
Many will probably end up in full bloody hand.

When the price drops their are selling their btc cheap and when the price goes up they buy the coins and pump the price even more. P.S. I know that you don't do it.

Price swings do not affect my long term holdings.
I think there are still users who remember the dramatic crashes from ~$31 and ~$260 and the following "depressions".
Also, intraday volatility was a lot worse before 2013.
