Yesterday was a huge day for traders, with many making a lot of money by going short on the bitcoin price and the leveraging to maximise their profits.

We saw a spike in trade volume on the Coinarch website.

Many may have made money shorting Bitcoin, but many made money (myself included) buying at the low prices and banking on a rise.

It's my philosophy at least. I didn't “win” money. All bitcoins I've bought are either in my wallet, or I already spent them on stuff online. I never change them back to fiat.

An economy based on endless growth is unsustainable.

could be a dead cat bounce tho.  be careful btc hasn't stopped going down since the 1st quarter of 2014.  there were blips and signs of reversals, but still continued going down after.

I sure did. That was exciting. Grin

Huh No, it is not. That sounds like a rather poorly conceived philosophy in any case, as a currency needs speculators to provide liquidity.

Nope was playing the simulation but entered a bit too high
Now just waiting for 8 hours to clear and rebalance it again if the price doesn't go up too much from here.

Believing in Bitcoins and it's ability to change the world

Anyone is free to do with Bitcoin what one pleases. Some try to use it as a currency, some hold it as an investment. I don't agree with the latter, but there's nothing I can do about it.

It's been rough just to stay afloat with the drop in price! Does anyone feel or have knowledge of it going back up at all? It dose seem that the prices go up during the spring and summer.
