Can you guys at least f*cking focus on the current buy/sell statistics? That's what I'm here for.
All these useless predictions are really driving the level of this thread down. Everyone is calling new future lows for what? To be able to say 'I told you so' later?

Good. So considering the recent movements and upcomming events like Chinese New Year, you advice to buy/hold/sell?

Why not? Makes me feel more comfortable. Bought initially at 2k, sell at 9k. See it dip to 5k. Go all-in again. See rise to 20k.
Should have sold at 20k, but ah well. Win some, lose some.

So much wishful thinking… Why a new ATH in summer? Any idea how much money needs to come in, and how much hype must be recreated? People who lost money now will most likely not reinvest, so count them out. Sure, weak hands, but those weak hands got the price up for all of us.

Not being a pessimist, but posting moon memes isn't cutting it for me.
Hold some, sell some to be safe, and hope for better times. I do think (hope!) it will rise again, but have absolutely no idea about tops or bottoms.

Amen.
Get your fiat in order now to be able to buy later.

If you are all so 'convinced' it will go even lower, why not dump now and buy back later?

I can understand. But I see it as the same risk (as god knows if it will go up or down) as keeping it now.
I prefer taking some profit now and be able to buy back when it hits the true bottom. Or buy back on its way up again, even for a higher price. The difference in price is the cost of my insurrance.

I agree with your tactic. Personally I keep my altcoin portfolio intact, except for ripple (sold that one as well). Sold all the bitcoins for now. Tomorrow will be an exciting day. I've set my buy-back targets at 4500 USD or 8750 USD. It can hurt, or it can be a win. But either way, $ are in the bank.

Consider me a newbie with weak hands 

Educate me if you want: what is considered 'in the green' and 'being safe'?

Multiple days of continuous growth?
Reaching $8500?
High volumes?

Because last Saturday I was getting excited, only to get real again this morning.

Personally I would feel most comfortable at multiple weeks of stability, and then to start rising again.
This massive down followed by a potential massive up make me feel uncomfortable.

Be honost now: who forgot to fill up the rocket?

Seems pretty stable now. Good, let it be stable for a couple of days.

Oh and then please MOON, just to piss off that guy Roubini.

<10k. Fuck.

Then you were wrong already.

I remember a time when it was the complete opposite.
Any explanations on this development?

Well shit. Was just telling my gf over diner not to worry. Then opened http://bitcoinity.org/markets/bitstamp/USD
Now hiding

I feel your pain my friend

Mine told me to hold.
Damn her

Normally I'm pretty cool, able to laugh away these kind of movements.

I have to say these recent weeks and especially the last 24 hours have made me a little less comfortable... or even slightly worried. Gains come very slowly only to be wiped away at rate 2.0 in a couple of hours. I'm just a newbie with about a year of experience, but this seems more intense. What makes me even more concerned is that, even though I try to read a lot of stuff from 'experts' in this field, I've seen absolutely 0 in advance about the possible dumping of MtGox coins. Could have seen that one comming, right?

Time to bring out the 2 word post again.

Well fuck.

You carry a thin line between being poor and being rich
I'm deadbroke poor compared to January. But rich as fuck compared to June last year.
Problem is, January is fresher in the memory than June

Looks more like a hanging dick to me

Been there, done that. We should start a club.

Not trying to be a party pooper here (honestly), but when the rest of those MtGox coins get dumped on the market (like hundreds of millions of $ at a time), aren't we just all absolutely fucked (no lube)?

*opened btc ticker, expecting to see 10k+*
Fuck

Get it down to 6k already so we can start recovering. Fuck.

To me it appears that all those technical graphs are complete fucking bullshit. Like crystal ball stuff. Or professional guessing, whatever.
Nevertheless I absorb the postive ones like a sponge.

Are you telling me I have to wait 2 years to get some decent action again?
Fuck

Goodmorning fellow holders.
Another day, another fuck.
Still holding though.

Sure, power of the mind. Absolutely fucking bullshit, but it just feels fucked knowing I screwed myself by holding too long. But now its just a matter of holding even longer.
I'm holding. Just to say FUCK YOU to all those who are waiting for btc to die.

I have an idea.
Quickly post some of those graphs showing an incomming bottom at $2k.
Then it will surely rise higher.
Thanks!

New office addition, helping me remind why we do what we do.

Back where we were before the weekend.
Last 2 days = wiped from my memory.
Continue as before please.

What's keeping you from doing exactly that?

Hope so. Then I will sell the shit out of all those coins and buy more btc. Never sold any since the fork.

Good for you! It's not all about lambos.

I have a warm feeling in my pants about the current situation. I think this might actually go somewhere.

Well...

If it goes down (edit: up) people comment like 'fuck yeah bitcoin go bitcoin go!'.
The the minute it goes down it is like 'death cross shit, $100 coins in a few months, you are ALL fucked'. Note the 'you'.

At first I came here looking for wisdom and holy grail insider stuff.
Now its more fun and laughter because we all know NADA.

So true.

I salute you for the speed at which you find these things.

Starting to see some green again in my portfolio...

Getting close to my personal sell-off limit
Hope these last days of March won't be too bad.

What's up with those big downfalls?

Can someone explain the expected effect of the end of these contracts on the market the coming days (say, beginning of april) to this newbie?

Thanks.

'Big' drop again.
Guess it isn't over yet.

Well, destiny has spoken.
Tried to sell a small portion to form a hedge against further losses, but my usual btc-euro seller is closed 'till tuesday due to Easter.
In 2018 that is
No turning back now, I'll go down with the ship.

I can still sleep, survived on noodles before. Luckily my belief in btc is alive, will just have to delay that 1M house for 6 months...

@Dakustaking76: yeah thanks again for that reminder. Be so kind to send me a pm next time it hits $20k ok? I may have time to stop driving my imaginary lambo to my imaginary yacht by my imaginary 1M house then.

Much appreciated!

Love this type of illustrations. Simple and effective.

Or let's be realistic, it will 'never' hit 2K because we will all start buying them like crazy before that happens.

So everyone's got their fiat ready to buy some more?
When will you start to load up?
I'll be buying more at around 2500 euros (my initial buy price) per btc.

Do I care?
No
Do I have enough coins as it is?
Yes

Win/Win.

Oh and your statement about being near the bottom... did you just pull that one out of your ass?
It's a guessing game. Making those kind of statements completely annihilates your authority (nothing personal, just hate those kind of statements).

At least the poll is now all crap possibilities, meaning it will go 10k+ for sure this time

Fuck yes I would like some sweet 50k.
However I'm not 100% comfortable just yet. Strange swings these days. Anxiously quiet with FUD as well.

Any lambo bought with/from crypto is a win in my book. Don't care if it's 1 or 10 years old. Older cars are more like holding coins, instead of buying new (AKA panic selling). Guess which one I prefer.
Not to keen on the online showing off (may come back to get you later), but whatever, his choice. Cool car, cool Porsche as well. Fuck the gold and silver however.

So, where the f are the tears
People promised me tears.
Now I want tears.

All hail!

Am I the only one who's getting pretty excited about the thought of 5K bitcoins?
I mean, we'll be increasing our stashes like crazy.

You mean I won't be a billionaire after all?
Life is hard.

 

Well hello there, little bitcoin

So, where are all the bear posters now?
Please post something shitty. So we can all fuck you up real good.

Just give me my moment of happiness will you
The lost $xxxxxx are forgotten by todays $xxxx rise

I wake up and see an 18% portfolio value increase.
That's it. I'm taking the day off.

$9000 to be smashed this week.
Wassuuup?!

Nahh still a fucked up situation. Not much different.
Needs more time.
*goes back to hibernation*

So... this means I have to start thinking about making an actual career and stuff?

I'm now happy that I've already lost 80% of my portfolios value. Can't really seem to bother anymore about losing another 5% or so. I have about 25 years to go untill my desired retirement kicks in. Time is on my side.

"I hope it goes down so I can increase my stash".
In other words, you 'all' think it will go up again some day. But at the same time:
"Please stop this pain, I can't take it anymore"  

Well fuck me but I'm now hoping it goes to $1 so I can buy ALL of them. The hurt has already sunk in, so why not take advantage.

Strangely enough I really start to enjoy seeing it go lower and lower. Time to get some fiat ready and BUY LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER.

I appreciate this guy.

Don't be a monumental dick by selling your coins.

Ok. I'm still here. Silently reading all your comments.  
Hodling strong. I've been in doubt about its future some times, but I was weak. The future is bright, and strong.
Keep hodling.

Long time holders have a time advantage. I give absolutely zero fucks when BTC hits $5000 again. It is still much higer than what I paid for them. I'm thinking 10+ years. Good, let it sink, let me get some more coins.

Being bored with these prices...
What platform do you guys use to long bitcoin?

Choo Choo!
