Still waiting on the fiat transfer to exchange. Dollar cost average is working nicely.

How much money have you lost so far this year, compared to a strategy of selling up on Jan 1 and sticking the money in a savings account?

I didn't do dollar cost average last year, because it was mainly going up trend. Majority of this year is down trend, especially past few weeks, dollar cost average makes more sense. I started buying from lower 600s all the way to now. Total only few coins as that's what I can afford to lose.

I don't get the afford to lose comments. Unless you live in Russia or are borrowing from a drug lord, you can afford to lose every penny you invest in bitcoin. Nobody dies because they go broke, they only die when they jump out the window. So don't jump out the window.

Dollar cost averaging is an inferior trading strategy. You only need to be wrong one time on one particular asset type to be broke without proper risk controlled.


If the down trend don't stop, expect to see btc trading at below $200 in a month or two when panic selling and margin call get hit.

I agree that dollar cost averaging is inferior, however, it's very time consuming to watch the market. I'd like to know if there is a better strategy to gain coins in this long term down trend (not spend too much time). TIA!

Try the reverse. It is called trend trading and set up proper parameter to close your position (long or short) when the price reverse up to certain percentage (depend on your risk).

You only need to be right one time with this method to make a butt load of money.

Could you post some links where we can learn more about trend trading please?

These absurd low prices makes made me nervous.  If will buy more on Sunday, aditional 100 BTC between 300-350 $. 

Anyone who is selling now is complete IDIOT.

The fear in your text isclear, Ask. Youve lost a lot of money, and you feel you must throw more good money after bad.
your losses are starting to look painful

there is nothing to show this is the bottom, so why  should i buy ?

there is no blood on streets yet

so i am "complete IDIOT" , i sold 400 at $350   (coins from early 2013 )

i am a believer so buying (back) at $350 or $450 (or $200)  is the same for me  ( i will buy back later)

but now i feel much better, earlier it was so frustrating that despite of the good news the price is keep going down, but now perhaps i can accumulate more coins

until you and others call me and other sellers idiot and weak hands nothing will change and the price will go down

I seriously doubt anyone who doesn't understand market have access to that much capital.

This new patch of buying mean you will have a total of 700 btc?

What is your exit plan?

He doesn't talk about BTC, he is talking about microBTC (not mini).

Where do you get all the fiat to be able to spend 100 BTC? Considering it's an extremely risky thing to do right now because we have no idea when will panic seling stop.....

[blade87]

Buying at $450, $400, $350, $300 etc... doesn't make much sense to me. But maybe that's just my style. I'd wait a little bit to see if I could get a better cost average and spread it out a bit more. At least if it keeps crashing, you're going to end up with a much better average buy in the long run. And if it doesn't, reverses, and begins a new up trend (which it probably won't any time soon), you've made good buys anyway.

This market has not even began it's long sideways accumulation period yet. There's plenty of time to get in at good prices if BTC will reach ATHs again one day.
