Make hay while the sun shines guys.

Robert Shiller, 2013 Nobel Prize winner in Economics...

There's no such thing as a Nobel Prize in Economics.
There's the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, which as the name implies is not one of the original Nobel Prizes created by the will of Alfred Nobel.

OMG, something is happening and I'm actually awake this time! Shocked

I'm a HODLer because selling bitcoins makes me a nervous wreck (what if I miss the big upswing?).

Going to put more fiat into bitcoin as soon as we hit a local minimum. Exciting times.

Holy fuck, I'm just staring at my screen at this point.

Despite earlier claims, I sold half my bitcoins earlier today. Shit was getting a little too crazy for me. Will rebuy as soon as this madness calms down.

Ok, this sort of looks like the bottom. Good enough for me.

Fully Bitcoin once again. Choo-choo!

Patience is a virtue.  Smiley

Truth to be told, I'm more comfortable holding Bitcoin, nevermind the current market price.

Sure, if you sell at the peak and buy at the bottom, you can pocket the change if done correctly. But it's a lot of stress and sleepless nights for maybe a 20% profit, if executed perfectly.

Or you can just buy some Bitcoin every now and then and hope it will go up over time, just like it always has.

1.2 ^ 20 = 38

do it 20 times, multiply money by 38  Wink

I've done the math and it's not worth my time at the volumes I'm handling. Nevermind the risk.

You need to be in place when a something interesting happens, and even with bitcoin sometimes weeks go by without major opportunities.

Today was a bit of coincidence, I was just about to buy some more bitcoin, and then this happened.

Also, OMG, more dumping @Bitstamp. This shit is bananas. We might hit $600 after all.

might send a massive wire to gox tomorrow. it's hard to resist! fiat on gox though *shudder* this could go SO wrong.

I am 5 digits USD on Gox and stuffing all i can on BTC since yesterday.

This is the best buying chance we will see in years.

Makes sense to me. Either Gox is insolvent and you lose (almost) all. Or they get their act together and you'll get very cheap coins.

I wouldn't risk it, but once you're knee-deep in GoxBux you might as well try to make the most of it.
