So the advise from you all is to wait for a few days and buy? I have no BTC and i'm looking to invest, but I can't afford to even buy 1btc at $1000. I could buy a few though if they were $300-400.

My advice is that this is a poor place to look for advice.

I agree. This forum has folks who will advise you to do whatever benefits them or furthers their self-importance.

All I will say is that you don't need to buy a whole bitcoin when you do buy. And don't spend more money than you can comfortably afford to lose.

No balls of steel here. I'm just holding on for the ride.

I think it takes balls to try to time the market and predict what it's gonna do. I don't have that. So I just sit and watch the frenzy.

Titles like the one of this thread starts showing up when the panic is widespread Cry

It's the first stage of grief.

All I can say is that I have been there. Eons ago I had over a thousand coins.

And boy I miss having so many coins which I sold in fear to "take profit" during bubble pops. Not even because of their fiat value now, hadn't I sold them. What I miss is the feeling of being part of an elite. Because now I know that with the earnings of my job I will never ever be able to have over a thousand coins again.

I wish I was able to really guess the dips and profit from them so that I could multiply my coins. But I suck at trading.
I have great hopes for wider merchant adoption though. I dream of being paid for my job in btc and to be able to pay all my bills and grocery in btc, while converting into fiat only at need.

what is goxloop? what is the real price brah?

Goxloop is a controversial safety mechanism on the Gox exchange that was implemented after a hacker was able to take control and sell everyone's coins, plummeting the price down to pennies. Those trades were all rolled back, and then Goxloop was put into place.

Essentially, when it detects a large sell like this, it triggers and stops trades. You will see the same series of trades being replayed repeatedly until a manual reset.

thanks for that explanation brah. so all the peeps who are trading now, all of them will be rolled back when the manual reset happens?

I don't know if the exact behavior of Goxloop has been documented, as we've only seen it a handful of times. The general concensus is that all trades that happened in the looping period of time shown WILL execute. While your order will appear to be cancel-able upon each loop, it is in-fact not. Orders placed DURING the looping, I'm not sure of. You're trading blind, and likely to get burnt when Goxloop ends.

I hope you guys can catch the bottom.

nobody ever catches the exact bottom or exact top, you just got to sell when optimism is high and buy when despair is all around, makee sense?

still holding my ~200BTC. I didn't sell them at 1200 so I don't see any reason for sell them at 800.)

I'm always grumpy in the morning.

I've already sold out. Does that count? My balls of steel are about waiting long enough before buying in again.

I sold my standard scheduled rake at $1100/BTC. I will not be selling on the way down, as per the rake schedule.

Stick to the plan.
