this is not even a crash compared to the 2011 one, also this crash was really slow from 1200 to current value, not a big drop in short amount of time, which could lead in to some "uninterest" from the majority of people, instead of just pure manipulation

Yeah, I don't think the 2011 crash was comparable at all.

Just in terms of sentiment, I remember the boards filled with complete despair and a good amount of fear. I would sum up the sentiment of the boards in this crash as disappointment with a sprinkle of fear.

Yes, and it might lead to a healthier bubble due to this!

Ok, but I'm out when it hits 125€ anyway. Not really eager to wait a few months/years first.. And if it revises which I still hope then, bitcoin can never die

Ok, so let's review what you've revealed about your trading strategy so far. You bought near the all time high, and you're planning to sell at the bottom of the crash. So basically your strategy is: buy high, sell low. You're not a really great investor, are you?

It's more about selling in time before it gets to 10$ and Bitcoin doesn't recover. Last days were positive for the exchange rate but time will learn, I see a very little chance in recovering it to my buy-price for now.

Lol, don't hold your breath. There's no chance in hell this show is over and things are just getting started before the real bull market begins. While the bulls had this coming after a year of wrong calculations, this chatter is on borrowed time. We've either turned the corner or are on the verge of doing so, flat out.

Come on, this really is stereotypical permabull behavior. Just keep both options open, as any reasonable person would do. Cultism and anything that ends on 'ism' in general is for idiots that lost their way in life.

Bitcoin had its chance boys and girls. Mass adoption didn't happen in the window given.

Why when the next hype around crypto occurs wouldn't money start pouring into any one of the 1000 bitcoin clones with active development?
Bitcoin's value will fall to its true value relative to all the alts. It's a race, a race to mass adoption and bitcoin had a headstart and it's fallen ass-over-tit.
Whatever attracts mass adoption it's not going to be BTC - overpiced, no real development, a sham 'foundation' that does fuck-all except funnel money, and a sour political histroy.

I should add that despite above I do weep for BTC. A first and true love in this space. But lettuce be reality.

It's been even worse before! Back in September 2011 the price basically crashed within days sooo freaking severely, I bet a lot of people almost turned to stone. We'll have to see if the recovery continues. If so, we may now have entered a bull market again, otherwise we will likely revisit $150 for a double-bottom or maybe double digits!

Back then I would think that people knew that they were "gambling" more with something so new though. Perhaps it should have been a little less shocking then? At least that is what I figured. Even when I joined the "party" in 2013 I was aware of the volatility and even warned we would have some bubble cycles, and was aware that there were risks involved so it didn't really come as a shock. Now, however, it feels like we should be more "secure" with all the new developments in place. Undecided

Well now there is significantly more money involved in the bitcoin ecosystem so any major drop in price is going to have a much bigger economic impact then it did previously.

In 2011 there were no mining companies, the only people mining was hobbyist miners who had purchased a bunch of video cards that could potentially be resold. Today there are billions of dollars invested in various aspects of bitcoin.

with that amount of cash in hand, you should have bought slowly especially whenever there is a dip. But don't worry too much, even though current situation is quite fragile, anything could still happen that we cannot predict or foresee. Anyway, I wouldn't call investment go wasted. there is always a chance left.

I really dont get it. Why is the price falling?

Arent people buying bitcoins as before? All the people who said bitcoin will rise when more people accept it have been prooved wrong.

Obviously, we need more people to adopt bitcoins.
Businesses are adopting bitcoins, but they convert them to fiat as soon as they get bitcoins. This dumps extra bitcoins to the market. Miners are also pressured to dump bitcoins to the market to recoupe with their investment on mining rigs and maintenance which brings the price down further.

If you don't have a discipline to hold for at least 5 years, you should get out now for your own good. Bitcoin investment is more volatile, and riskier than stock investment.

Unfortunately all of this feels relatively normal to those of us that have been around a couple of years. I think the hardest thing this time around is the fact that I thought somehow things would change. Bitcoin has been around longer right? MTGox is gone. We have more security. There are more people involved so we should have less volatility. These are the thoughts behind my rationale that we would no longer be able to fall to such low prices again. Sigh. Oh well. Maybe after the next bubble cycle. Wink

These answers are disingenuous. Yes, in terms of percentage the price would need to approximately halve once again to equal the drop in 2011 but the total value (in dollar terms) of the Bitcoin economy was a fraction of what it is now.

People are hurting big time now because something like 3.5 billion dollars of purchasing power has evaporated over the last year.

Nothing like that has ever happened before with Bitcoin. So no, it has never been worse.

After Bitstamp came back (just bought before) I thought things will change in a good way. But perhaps Bitstamp better could have died, at least I'd have left by then.

When I go out just before there is 500€ left for me, has the speculation forum seen these dark days before? Is there any hope or did I just participate in the deathblow of the bitcoin, at least the bitcoin value that is. Thanks. (and yes, it was a hard lesson for me and i feel really bad for those people who lost even greater amounts)

When I started to get into BTC in 2011, it went from $30 to $2..

That's like us going from $1,000 to like ~$90 on a % scale wise... So yeah, Much worse.. :p

Respect for still being around.

things will turn out great in the end. hold on to your bitcoins and you'll see. be patience.

Ok, but I'm out when it hits 125€ anyway. Not really eager to wait a few months/years first.. And if it revises which I still hope then, bitcoin can never die

.

Why would you sell when it reaches 125 and lose that much money? That's insane.
But if you do, more cheap coins for me I guess. I just don't understand the fear-based sell thought process - it defies logic.

Reminds me of the crash from $1200 to $500 then to $350. Lots of fear (and plenty of trollin') to go around then.

Worse.

Did you go through the 2011 crash?

I wasnt but boy I had wished I had scooped up some nice coin when I found out about it and that was right before the climb to the high back then in the mid 200s. Many things have changed even from the time I got intrested till now, and that is only a few years.

Bitcoin certainly has a problem but crypto isn't over yet. Expecting altcoin to rise to the top coming months.

And a few days later my investment almost got halved. True, I bought for 1000€ bitcoin without any real economical knowledge or whatsever but still. After Bitstamp came back (just bought before) I thought things will change in a good way. But perhaps Bitstamp better could have died, at least I'd have left by then.

When I go out just before there is 500€ left for me, has the speculation forum seen these dark days before? Is there any hope or did I just participate in the deathblow of the bitcoin, at least the bitcoin value that is. Thanks. (and yes, it was a hard lesson for me and i feel really bad for those people who lost even greater amounts)
