Buy The F*cking Dip
It wouldn't surprise me if BTC's price dwindle down to $3500. This correction (or selloff, whatever you like calling it) is long overdue as its price soared too high in the past weeks. We all know that this is bound to happen so that it will reach new highs in the next month or so. Don't be afraid of this consolidation and see this as a buying opportunity. If you are a HODLER as you have said above, you shouldn't be nervous about what's happening. Just enjoy your day and treat this as just another day in crypto. Chill.  Grin

@OP if you were a holder and not worried you would not have made this post Cheesy

12 months ago today BTC was 575% LOWER than it still is right now after the drop, BTC could drop another 2k and i would still be smiling personally. this is just a great buying opportunity. ACTUALLY think long, 50k in 10 years EASY BTC will be at, it's simple supply and demand
Dont worry about price, just do your part to bring ADOPTION, and the rest will do itself Cheesy

You shouldn't buy bitcoin with that kind of value now because I don't think you will have a good return from it, Better you wait when the price drop like what is happening now, The best strategy in bitcoin investment is buying when its low then sell when its high. You should watch the price board and study the market first before making any decision for investment so you will not regret in the future.

This was orchestrated. It's going to the price "predicted" by Goldman Sachs. They do such prohibitions in China because the government there is a communist dictatorship, if it was in a western country there would be a reaction from some institutions.

I'm seeing "news" in my country saying that bitcoin was blocked in China, that regulation concerning bitcoin was changed, while in fact ICO's dont have anything to do with bitcoin. Why the fuck wont they say its ethereum, the coin promoted by big corporations? Bitcoin is taking the hit from MSM, hence the fall to GS "predictions". All orchestrated to shake weak hands.

Hi all,
I recently bought 0.933 BTC at $4,620 (had to pay $4,840/BTC off localbitcoin) and I thought I had made the right decision as the market seemed to have stabilised after the sell off at $5k. I'm just wondering, how far is this likely to go? I've seen the graph (linked below) that is projected $3,500 by tomorrow; which wouldn't surprise me at the moment, but projects that by the end of this year the price will hit $10k? I'm fully aware Bitcoin is far stronger than it ever was before the previous dips, but where do you guys see the price being in a month or so? I'm a HODLER so I'm not worried short term but long term is this likely to get back over $5k? The split in November, the recent fake news about the co founder of Ethereum's death and the lawsuit against empty blocks on Bitmain are making me worry somewhat. Any comments? Thanks Smiley

After everything settles down, specially the Chinese investors, I consider $5000+ a good starting point once again. We are all caught off guard by the announcement of the Chinese government regarding banning ICO which really hurt the market. But once everything has cool down, we may see the price going up and I speculate that like $5000-$7000 is achievable. There is another bump, that you mentioned, the November HF, but considering the split in Aug, many predicted that the price would go south, but the opposite had happened. So come November, its possible that the price will go strong again and maybe $5000-$7000 is possible at the end of the year.

China is always banning something, nothing new here, in 2013 it was PBOC bans x a day everyday.

It has still not dropped that much, and with the current news about cryptocurrency might have to do something with the current drop. If you are a holder and think of bitcoin as an investment for the long run, than I think you should keep your coins safe with you and not sell them. Hopefully before buying you knew that this was a risky market, and only invested in bitcoin whatever you would afford to lose.

The average investor is alarmingly ignorant. ICO really has nothing to do with bitcoin.  ETH, on the other hand...

There are wayyyyy to many people with zero clue about anything crypto related invested in this, so FUD and hype both have undue influence.

If you need any supporting evidence for my ignorance comment, just go read the forum.  Holy crap.

I have a feeling things will get worse now before they get better. I see a decline over the next few months and maybe after the first quarter of next year, we might see some new blood enter crypto once all the old adopters have sold off all their bags.

Yeah I agree with points from both sides. I was just wondering, is the split in November due to make the "new" bitcoin have a 2mb mempool and the core still be stuck at 1mb? As I think that could be a real turning point if that is the only change. I'm certainly going to try and hold on until november and then see where prices go. My worry is that nowadays, there are so many viable competitors to BTC that it will struggle to dominate the market and achieve ludicrous gains like it once could back in 2015 until August 2017, as Ethereum, Litecoin and BTC Cash give BTC core a run for its money (and with a 1mb mempool and slow transaction times, I don't know if BTC core will be able to keep up). Also, is the change in november just an "upgrade" to BTC core to make it 2mb rather than 1? Or a complete split?

I think we just have to watch what would happen next,
Lets just hope that it would recover soon and get higher than before.

Personally I hope it goes down to $3000 as I have been waiting to buy some more. $3000-3500 wouldn't surprise me, nor would $2000. I remember buying some back in 2013, at the peak of the 'bubble' and then watching it lost 75% of its value as it went down to $2-300. If you're in it long term you'll know that having money in the game is more important than trying to time the crazy swings that Bitcoin takes.

If you aren't prepared to see your Bitcoin lose 50% of its value, and not reach $5000 again for another year or two, then it may not be for you. Nobody can predict where the price is going to go.
