[gentlemand]

Everything. And it gave me cancer too. Ah well.

[inca]

I'm waiting for BTC to crash to less than $50 so I can buy back in!

[deepceleron]

I've lost zero bitcoins. Every bitcoin is right where it should be.

I've lost zero bitcoins. Every bitcoin is right where it should be.

In this case you have lost 55%. No matter if they are there or in some exchange...

if btc price doesn't increase in december it will crash in january. I already sold it all..

assuming he bought at your randomly selected entry point of 700. which is unlikely. anyone notice how doomsayers think every person whose ever bought in, bought in at the very very top and there is no other possible scenario?

[sniveling]

I bought in at 300 and I'm hoping the bottom is behind us so I don't lose anything.

[jubalix]

I have lost nothing.....I hold BTC.

All other *wealth* is seizbale.

BTC make you sovereign.

[MsCollec]

I bought bitcoin at CAD 1,100 lost everything at least when I sell at this price 

[exocytosis]

"One bitcoin is still one bitcoin, so I haven't lost anything! The dollar value doesn't matter! Who needs those filthy dollars anyway!?"

Oh, sorry, I was just channeling the average cultist bulltard.

[Kontridder]

nothing , I know my dope money is safe

According to this thread the fifth 3dMACD bar is green, which apparently means 4 months of stability then to the moon. If it's right you should have 5x profit by next Easter.

No I was assuming he bought prior to 01/01/14, so since 01/01/14 he would have lost 55%.

Of course you don't. You want the price lower. The more bearish pointless threads the better!

Another worthless troll.....get a life boy if you don't believe in cryptos go out and do something worth.

Anyway, boy, let's come back here in one year.

For people who bought at 1000 and sold at 300: I'm sorry for you of course but you should have hold. This is a medium term target investment or the best way to buy and tranfer value.

You sound like someone who bought too high. With bitcoin you need the balls to sell HIGH and buy low.
There were lots of rebounds this year to Profit from.

And yes, if you bought @ 1000 and didn't sold till now, you should hold or buy more. But don't expect that you will be in a Profit Zone soon.

[catena5260]

Nothing. I'm not dumb enough to join the HODL team, with so many bad news this year.

In fact I got some gains that I would never be able to get in any other way

well now 324$ i am very worried i think i will beg future...i am done lol


i don't want to say this......don't invest what you can't afford to lose...

Nope, that's not how that works at all. Fiat exchange price is irrelevant and of no particular concern except at the moments when we choose to exchange our crypto for fiat, or vice-versa. I'm down nothing unless/until I sell some BTC at lower price(s) than I bought them.

Considering I bought all my BTC between 120 and 200$, and sold a fraction of my holdings over the course of the last year between $400 and 1,100, I have only ever profited - 200% at minimum - from my dealings bitcoin.

[GangkisKhan]

End investors have a pattern to buy at top and sell at bottom.

thanks for going through all this research and also for generously letting us know.

[bronco]

hmm I actually have 30 more coins than year ago. And family of 4 living on bitcoins all year long.

[maker88]

my initial investment of a thousand dollars got taken off the table, along with several other thousand in profit, and then i returned a small portion of the profit into coins at low 400s. those coins had unrealized gains of around $600 that i 'lost' by investing 20% of my profit from bitcoin back into bitcoin, however I'm not selling those bitcoin at a loss, and there for will not be losing those gains once the price rebounds.the reason which it will is because adoption is at an all time high and price, like it has so many times in the past, is just lagging. mostly due to intentional scare tactics adopted by whales for the purpose of accumulating more coins. if i lose it all, who fuckin cares it was free money in there in the first place.

the real question is why do you guys want to stir up negative emotions so much, such a sad lot you are.

Nothing luckily, I don't have a big quantity of bitcoin. I'm very sad for people which has bought bitcoin when price was 1130 $ !

A lot, half of my savings. I feel like a total loser because I got fooled by bitcoin proponents who were saying $1000 is cheap, it would go to $100 000.

It's all relative.  $30 coins looked expensive as hell when it went down to $2.  How do those $30 coins look now?  I'm not saying that BTC will ever be $100,000, but you never know what's going to happen.  I never thought it would hit $1,000, and if it did, it would be after 10 years.  Looks like I was wrong.

Like you should have sold @30 and re-bought @2?  You would have been fifteen times wealthier.  That's what speculation is all about

If you "never know what's going to happen," you're not investing, you're gambling.  The same "never know what's going to happen" reasoning drives the poor to spend their welfare checks on scratch tickets.  You never know, a buck could get you a million, amirite?

Did you at least sell some coin close to the top, or ...are you still hodling?

[erre]

[bassclef]

If you're worried about your investment you invested too much. If the volatility is making you stressed, maybe come back in a few years when things have stabilized.

Sorry to be blunt, but the market has a way of weeding out dumb, greedy investors. It takes far more brainpower to understand the protocol and it's potential value in the future than it does to throw a stupid amount of money at something you've done nearly zero research about besides reading "to da moon" posts.

so far, all the prevoius ath turned out to be cheap in the long run. why would the last ath be the first one where this will not be the case? because of the hundreds of millions of vc capital invested ? because of pay pal, dell, expedia,... ,... and all the other mainstream actors adopting it ? (and all the other great developments that took place in/towards the btc economy, that happened since the april 2013 ath)

bought my first coins right on top of 2011 bubble. i had to wait almost two years to break even. but now even those coins have 10folded.  

i suggest patience.

[b!z]

Not enough.

[TaunSew]

Back in 2013 Bitcoin was too big to bring any ROI anytime soon.  Hypothetically the most ROI left in Bitcoin is maybe 1000x.  This is compared to the earliest adopters who have seen 450,000x return (people who bought or mined in 2009 when it was fractions of a cent) and if Bitcoin did go up another 1000x then their return would be 4.5x million.

Bitcoin rich get richer and they've assumed no capital risk.  $20 - $200 investment in 2009?  That's compared to people who've drained their life savings or reverse mortgaged their homes and are now left holding the bag.

Mr. Branson, I got in firstly in 2011 (with about 1000 dollars) and in september 2012 I got in a little heavier  . Bitcoin was at 10,20 dollars.

Crypto gave me 1 house, 2 cars, 1 pub, another investment in a society and 6 Titans (which, besides, I have just received, hallelujah hallelujah!)

I wouldn't say I bought too high. Certainly I could have sold higher but believe me I am totally satisfied.

When I read troll boys I understand that they try to get in at good prices or maybe they are payed (don't think much) by some banker.

But I think this forum and cryptos in general should somehow get rid of this rubbish. And frankly speaking I'm too old to bear these behavior.

Go to school BOYS, you need to grow up a little more.

Thank you.

[abercrombie]

I'm in the plus column (knock on wood) in terms of trading.  

Lost $2,200 in BTC to con-artists on 3 separate instances.  I blame myself, I got greedy and ignored my own rules.

Fortunately, that is relatively small compared to my winnings.

That's a good argument, but it comes from an old consensus which is still prevail. There is another consensus slowly gaining traction: When you buy one of such a house and oil furnace, the money printer has already bought himself the whole city (including thugs) using printed money. The difference is that you need to work to buy such a house, and money printer don't need

In fact, the more efficient miners become, the better they will be for heating your home. Soon mining gear companies will build water heater and steam plumbing interfaces because they will be profitable.

[Elwar]

I have gained bitcoins this year.

[HarHarHar9965]

I have lost nothing.....I hold BTC.

All other *wealth* is seizbale.

BTC make you sovereign.

There is something to be said for that. But I don't take such a loss in purchasing power so lightly.

[Cryptobro]

I haven't really been keeping up, but I would say I'm down about 2000-2500 over the course of this year (in dollar value)
I still have some bitcoin, and some prevalent alts, but I honestly can't see any of it going anywhere any more. I've lost faith.

I won't sell what I have left, but I have pretty much written it off in all honesty.
