Pretty much back to what it was before we ever bought BTC, and at the price it is even now, even better than when we started.
In other words you are completely underwater. While it's not the optimum situation to be in it isn't highly unusual nor the end of hope for someone. There's many hundreds of thousands or millions of people underwater on their home investment and that is something that typically has to be paid off if they want to stay on the right path. This scenario is merely one where the underwater investment was already paid for back in time in full but just a little behind in valuation at the moment. Considering the untold many that have bought into this ballgame over the last year, it sounds like this particular case is pretty undeserving of using the 'completely underwater' terminology and is a rather mild one at worst.

Except that a house and land has value because people need homes and land to put them on. Bitcoin has no value, it's all purely gambling and speculating. Let's say you have $300 laying around. You could either buy a ps4 with it, or 1.5 Bitcoin. If the 1.5 Bitcoin loses all value in a year, well too bad, now you don't have money and don't have a ps4. It sucks, but it's not the end of the world. On the other hand, if the value increases to say $750 or so, you could sell half a Bitcoin, buy a PS4 and still have a Bitcoin left for pure profit. Now when the ps5 comes you have some Bitcoin left to buy it. Financial markets have ups and downs, as long as you are patient during the lows, another high will eventually come. If you have the balls to just hold on to your assets, you'll never need to make a loss.

In other words you are completely underwater. That is not what that term means. Underwater implies that equity is zero and debt exceeds value of an asset. There is no debt and price is not zero.

Access rights to the premier blockchain distributed database technology and the global network of computers communicating transactions with the bitcoin protocol. Also equity shareholding of the limited issuance crypto-token that is native to the bitcoin network. Surprised you didn't know all this actually.

The current value if instantly traded into your local currency. Minus the risk of getting the value out of the exchange.

Ask thermos, I changed it for a flashing bill cosby image coincidentally prior to the latest forum defacement. When the forum came back it was gone. I might get paranoid about it or perhaps thermos did.

If it happens, great. If it doesn't happen, it was fun while it lasted. But I am a bit curious why it is taking so darn long to warm up. With all the grexit talk, China's stock market issues and so on, what does it take to get the ball rolling!?

On the other hand, people might lose willingness to dump at these prices and we are in for a ride!

The unbashing storm of bitcoin is approaching , eh ? I hope it leaves people startled as the bitcoin bubble needs to be more than effective to gain a good space in market. The investors who are willing to risk it all , might get huge benefits. But a plan B should always be ready.

After 8 green weeks (according to the weekly chart) the parabolic rise should start becoming visible. We are currently 5 weeks in green. Give it some time, about 3 weeks. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs13.postimg.org%2Fhsi709puv%2Fchart.png&t=665&c=ym-l5Y7xPnn5mg)
