Well,...
That's exactly what I was expecting when I mentioned earlier about what's going to happen after the auction ends. If you think about it; the amount that was auctioned was quite large which (based on the supply-and-demand theory); "should" cause a drop in price. I was expecting this to last for about a month or three by most, and was preparing for it.
Being honest about it, sadly, after the auction ended, I noticed the price climbing up, and got tempted; I don't know what was wrong in my head when I decided to spend few coins on buying at $645, I saw the price drop coming at the time, and then queued my sell to go at $655, but sadly it went up to $653 therefore, never sold, and then afterwards BTC kept going down ever since, that's when I said earlier "wait another 65 years, it will go up etc...."
Truth is I don't feel sorry for that little loss (with price drop today it's about $200 now), I expect further drop, but frankly don't care, I'm not selling, therefore it's not a loss (yet). if it takes 3 months for it to recover and by on the up again, then great, if it's a year or so then still won't make me jump out of my seat neither, I am way too busy at the moment with other things to do, and I think this (stop dealing with BTC for now) came in time to help me focus on my work.
My advice, is, for whatever it's worth; if you are in the same situation, please don't panic, the more people joining in later, the higher it gets. Right now, I still think (theoretically) that the auction coins are being sold as we speak hence causing this drop, no facts there, just what I think, which is why I am waiting with absolutely no care or even interest in doing a move right now.
I believe more people are watching this forum, since my last 65 years post, BTC on the sites (Bitstamp, Bitfinex, Btc-e) has dropped volumes of about 80%. For instance, the one-hour volume trading on Bitstamp used to be about $900, over the past week it hardly gone over $99 per hour.
Lots of people seems to be losing interest on the way BTC is changing recently, hence that drop in price until someone starts to take a drastic action about it.
I hope this helps,
Wish you Good luck,
Heider
