assuming the above is legit..you still are taking a long risk imho that www.mtgox.com survives and you get you btc out

hmmm
 
frigging wild it has been lately

Searing

holding ltc
holding doge

70m scrypt ...10k debt

cashing 50% a day for cocaine and hookers

living the crypto dream

I don't get how people think that holding is greedy... I mean, before crypto, I used to have a 401k... Does that make me greedy for holding by hard worked earnings until i'm so old, no one wants to pay me to sit around and mash buttons?

Hold on like you mean it, bro... My grandpa told me about my uncle who cashed out his stocks in 2008 because he didn't want to see his money shrink more than it already did, and how big of a mistake that was... The stock market came back up and he was out 70% of his portfolio. My grandpa of coarse didn't cash out because he's lived through a few of these to know, and everything is back to normal.

I tend to take advice from people that have lived through it and either learned from other peoples mistakes or learned from their own.

Holding is easy. Trusting these exchanges is what takes balls of steel.

if you've held this long, I expect you're in it 'till the end. You'll ride this like the titanic, all the way to the bottom if it goes that way.

---  I still think you should consider this an all or nothing bet. Yes, you could have sold at 1200, and doubled up at 600 (maybe a ten-bagger at 120 if you're lucky enough to have goxbux.) - but the point is, that the upside of this thing is a whole lot bigger than a couple thousand dollars.

the downside is and will always be 0

place your bets accordingly.

Used Bitcoin Builder to buy some MtGox at about 2.5:1 going price compared to non MtGox BTC. Feeling slightly ballsy at the moment.

it takes balls to buy at a time like this. Even I can hodl (its called not caring about the gox price which doesn't mater).

IMO balls of steel is not holding now, it was not selling at $1200.  I know why I didn't, but that doesn't mean this is easy. 

I got balls of steel but since my coins are currently on Gox I may in fact be a eunuch now 

Buy it, watch it, trade it, spend it, risk-the-BITS its hodl-matic....

Reminds me of Busta Rhyme's "Touch It" (they interpolated the original "hook" and made it a bit more syncopated)

And you know you should hodl?

So... $80 in fiat, $20 in coins?

Reminds me of that Daft Punk song. Technologic.

Me myself 80% fiat, cause I'm piss poor, broke and in overall bad situation in the world. No strength to hold.

I'd been sold out for days prior to this. (Well, I do have some cold storage.) No buy and hold for me!

Maybe oportunity to buy cheap coins for those having USD available at exchange right now. I wouldnt risk seling now because this news is not so bad.

lol, bit of the same here. normally not a tobacco smoker but i managed to chain smoke half a pack of Marlboros ( i love them dipped in peppermint oil.) normally would have had my day toke, but i dont like to trade while inebriated.

takeaways:
do not trade on emotion. all these markets, all this money being wielded is ultimately meaningless. unless you are competent enough (technical analysis) to trade through the dips for profit (an increase in your bitcoin holdings, i'm an unapologetic bull), sit tight. business has pointed its focus at bitcoin. The recent surge in Asian interest, ( and subsequent reaction ) the clear definitive regulatory signals from major governments ... bitcoin is here to stay at this point. nothing wrong with selling (if you know what you are doing) but, for those that would speculate without experience.. beware. the volatility and your inexperience will cost you some $/BTC. if you dont need your money now, you will be fine come the start of 2014. if you invested more than you can afford to lose, or did the cool jerk and purchased above $900 and have a need for short term liquidation, you have my permission to freak the fuck out. just dont sell your coins. in fact, disconnect your router. now go sit in the living room and watch some tv. play with your kids. or your dog. paint a mural, or read a goddamned book. i could give a fuck. just trying to preserve your value.

Major capital has been invested in bitcoin. The money will not stand idly by and watch itself crash and burn.
