Best Time To Sell In Over A Year

[Twister Trojan]

Keep it up guys, I can't mine 'em and sell 'em fast enough. Go Bitcoin!

Is August the official Bitcoin bubble month?

Is August the official Bitcoin bubble month?

They were at $12, down from $32 a few months earlier...

How could someone with a username "goxed" not know this?!

Lol +1

He has a point, even though it's technically "only" the best time since 11 months.

Selling high is not a bad tactic. Current price is 100% higher than 2-3 months ago, one can hardly call it "wrong" to take such an enormous profit.

I also sold a few in the last days, which I had picked up between 6 and 4. It was a methodical decision: the rise in BTC value was so fast, risk management started to look unbalanced. Also, we have seen bad liquidity in asks multiple times, causing a more jumpy price, and an abundance of trend-following posts. These might be indicators for decreasing stability.

This may be a consolidation phase, before the next leg begins.

Or perhaps your first lesson in to what "goxed" really means?

As a miner for more then a year i only pooled up my btc when prices were lower then 4-5.
Anytime the price is higher then 5 i let some go. As the price recently climbed i unloaded more and more and now i am the point i sell daily. Good times again. 300+ dollars a month easy.

Bitcoin bubble part deux for the win

will you still feel so good about coins you sold for $5 if the price reaches $100 in the next few weeks ?

Sell for what? Something spat out of a printing press and called 'real money' because its backed by a broken system? This is the first time I've bothered saving in my life, I'll convert some to that other crap when needs be but the bulk is staying in for the long haul.

That's where I'm at. I don't want real money. I spend bitcoin, not cash out.

I don't think this is a bubble as the rise has taken a long time overall. Another thing is the maturity of bitcoin holders. At the last bubble many were saying told you so! SELL SELL SELL. But bitcoiners in it for the long haul said yes, go ahead and sell so we can clear the unbelievers out of the market.

I can't wait for it to punch $30, screw around for a month at $35 then go towards $40's. Perhaps then all the bubble idiots will shut their pie-holes. Hell, they don't even know the definition of one - not that we haven't tried to educate them, of course.

You sound kind of mad!

Silly question: Your name suggests you do trading, that is buying and selling with no particular preference on whenever the price goes up or down. Yet you are one of the loudest bulls in this forum currently... somehow this doesn't fit that well together.

I am not a trader. Here is my uneducated attempt: a bubble is the increase in price of an asset caused mainly by the demand due to expected continuing increase in price. Good enough?

From what I see, these things only make sense in retrospect, or with the help of insider information. You are brave to make predictions, although that's easy without providing a time frame.

As far as I am concerned, yes, this is a good time to sell because I bought them and mined them cheaper. If the price next week shoots up or drops down, I won't play captain hindsight with "should've" or "told you so" - my decission to sell was good, and based on what I knew for sure.

This I can agree with.

Well long-term I believe the trend is up. I think we are due for a correction. Given $10-$12 was previous resistance 1 year ago. That has come credence in market direction at least in the short-term (4 weeks or so).
