I learned about bitcoin because that price spike happened. So I had to thank Mt.Gox and their bots for this. But frankly, if I was around during that time I wouldn't buy it
At that time price was enormous and it was obvious that it is a pump and dump scenario. People who bought at this peak were either too optimistic or silly to believe it would go higher.

Bought before that but was too scared to sell, even though I kept telling myself it would drop for sure..
Reverse FOMO, fear of selling and missing out because of that is probably the feeling.
Probably many people lost a lot, but it is also likely that people sold their coins on the way back to 800 and 600 if they thought they were going to the moon at 1200.

Yeah most people are not willing to say if and how much they lost, But looking at the volumes that time, billions of euro's/dollars has been lost.
Going back from 1200 to 200 means some people (if they even sold it) lost over 80% of their investment. That's a lot mate.

If someone didn't buy it then price wouldn't go up that higher. Yes I've bought some @1100$ 
Hehe true. Tell me did you sold them to prevent a larger loss. or did you keep them.
Hoping for a day to sell them back at 1100 or higher?

Buying above 1000 dollar much have been like an panic buy. When i buy bitcoins i always check the history of the price. If is just settled there, i would never buy it, unless i expect it to raise even more.
A friend bought as it was climbing rapidly in 2013. He also had many coins from when it was far cheaper as well. His opinion was and still is to buy under $1000 and his outlook is long term as is mine. People need to quit looking at the price and do their homework. If you've got a thorough understanding of BTC then you have the confidence to buy and hold and not worry about the price. I say to anyone who bought at $1000, good for you! If you're still holding you will be rewarded nicely.
Bought 1 BTC at aprox $1000 
The highest I've bought at was around $500 so nope.
No I didn't, I never even buy a Bitcoin. And also, I knew Bitcoin when the price is around $300 which is after the $1000.
Hey all, just as the title says, did anyone buy bitcoin when it's price was at it's peak ($1200)? And did they sell as it was dropping, or did they still hold on? I personally felt something was happening when it peaked :-/
So, back to the topic. Did anyone buy, and did they sell as it dropped? How much did they lose? Did you feel really really sad? What kind of an emotional impact did it have on you?
i'm sure so many people buy on $1200, and did they sell as it dropped,and it happen to me on other crypto currency,i ever buy altcoin on cheap price,and after that the price is more cheaper,and never back to bgining price,just like them.So, back to the topic.

I think many also didn't sell because selling is taking loss. In the end nobody likes losing money nor are they pro traders, which understand that taking loss is sometimes the best thing to do..
Ive heard of various people on the forums buying at the peak and still holding till today. Lucky for me i never bought any at that time.

On that time i got some email talking about bitcoin ,it went into spam box,i read something and i thinked hell another project to scam ,buy something i dont know well deleted ,i dont remember the right time but im pretty sure were when bitcoin were around 50 dollars ,but well i had some 2k invested into forex on that time,lost all anyway for me those were scam now well i keep happy and pissed i didnt search more about it on that time.
I have purchased all over usualy only .1-.2 but yes I have. Most my BTC has come from alts though. Can't say I have purchased more than 2 BTC in the last few years.
A family member of me wanted to buy some coins just to try out what it is to have Bitcoin, and what it is to spend it, etc. If I'm not wrong, he bought $30 worth of Bitcoin. At that time he received around 0.028BTC for his $30 
no, i remember i had only one btc at that time so i was holding strong thinking that we were going much higher, instead we crashed
still holding that btc plus other now
still holding that btc plus other now

I bought and sold some Bitcoin throughout that whole period, but I made more than I lost. I bought a bunch when they were still at around a hundred dollars back in early 2013. So, back to the topic.

I do remember only buying very small amounts (Euro-wise) when it was at its peak. The bubble was too obvious, I knew it was going to drop after it hit $1000.
Still happy with the choices I made back then, and I expect another bubble pretty soon, though this is just pure speculation.
