Or Bitcoin gets overtaken by an altcoin in the next few years and it will be game over. Whatever it will be: don't assume that you are entitled to another rally above 1000 dollars. Hell, I first want to see if Bitcoin can have 3 months of growth before we start talking about trains or the moon again.

This type of blissful ignorance is why many people out there get burned. 'In the past it rose to 1000 dollars, so it MUST go higher now'. If the past would be a guarantee for the future, that type of thinking would indeed work out. Only it doesn't.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

Some of us are already drinking the motherfucking coffee.... We made a lot of money from the early days when btc was worth hardly anything to the ath

I expect to make a lot more as mainstream adoption grows but even if I don't I'm comfortable for the rest of my life because of btc

How do you like that coffee?

Hey that's kind of mean to the butters!

Yes it's technically true *technically* that Bitcoin is only 500K - 2M users and it's been almost 6 years now. Whatsapp came out in the same year as Bitcoin and has over 600 million users.

If something couldn't go viral over 6 years, despite it being all over the news (I hear about Bitcoin on television more than Whatsapp and Facebook), then it's proof that Bitcoin is good concept butpoor execution and mainstreet isn't going for it.

Nowadays there's something like 1500 alternates in total - *of course* most of them are $hitcoins but there's 6 to 12 good ones with new code and new ideas. If an alternate does go viral then it will surpass Bitcoin's userbase in months. Bitcoin's 500K - 2M users is smaller than club membership at hotels, airlines, online dating sites, et cetera.

.....why u do this?

No it doesn't matter. Because no one knows what fair market value is. It keeps going up. And up. And up. And up.

Like the guys arguing over whether to buy at $2 vs $1. Or at $20 vs. $10. Or at $100 vs $50. Or at $200 vs $100.

When the price gets to $10,000/btc, you guys do realize that someone has to be buying at that market price to maintain equilibrium, right?

So I guess that guy that bought at $100 is such an idiot, while [you] were still patiently waiting for it to drop to $50. Man, is that guy such an idiot now. Roll Eyes

Yes, but how do you know when to sell?

Not everyone intends to sell.

I for one would like to still have most of my coins when they can be used to pay for most things directly.

Yes, but how do you know when to start paying for most things directly? If bitcoin skyrockets you might be able to buy a house with the same amount of bitcoins that would buy you a dell laptop today.

Would you really want to wait until the price is near the dollar so you can pay for things directly???
C'mon guys we all know BTC is a great idea but all the bearish indicators are in & we are about to dive down... why keep buying on the way down?! I promise you buying at the actual bottom is better & I promise you it won't go to $10k without you having a chance to buy it near the bottom since basically everyone here watches the price daily. So what's the rush??? Whatever idiots are buying at this level for the long term will get smashed just like everyone who bought bitcoin this entire year thinking it's for the long term!

BUY BITCOIN AT $200~ THEN BE HAPPY TO HOLD LONG TERM... DOUBLE THE PRICE IS Roll Eyes

No more or less than it mattered if you paid $3 vs $4 vs $6 back in 2011-2.

Obviously it does. If I buy at 300 instead of 600 I have double the number of BTCS. That can mean the difference between 1 million and 2 million in the future, so it matters even much more.

Yes, actually it does. The guy who bought at $300 will have twice as much as the buy who bought at $600.

Depends if you have a rigidly-fixed amount of fiat to spend on bitcoin, of if you've decided to buy some target quantity of bitcoin.

Ok, I decided with my $10 000 to buy 1000 bitcoin ! Wait, I can't ? You can fix the amount of bitcoin you want, you're limited anyway by the amount of cash you have...

Yes, but how do you know when to sell? Someone with twice as much bitcoin might sell at half the price that someone with only half the quantity of bitcoin sells at.
