You realize you could end up looking at "10k stable", right?

Based on responses here. It seems most people are simply not buying. I am very surprised that the price is holding so high when most people think that $800 is too high to buy.

I personally bought .01 bitcoins as a test recently. But I wouldn't call that buying.

I think most people on this forum got in at much, much, much lower prices. So this doesn't really tell us anything. This game is for the fiat whales, now.

I think we are in the awareness phase now. If so, it is only natural that the price rises faster than it used to. In which case, still no bubble.

IMO the whale who bought some 4k - 5k coins on Gox managed to transfer his coins to Bitstamp, and has a 2k sell wall there.

Not true. The wall was there even before buying.

Maybe the wall belonged to someone else, but the dump of 1.7k coins on Bitstamp is real.

I am all fiat and not buying at the moment.

I think the 800+ price is top dollar and won't be sustainable in my opinion. The world has been saturated by good news recently regarding bitcoin and it's still sitting in the $800 mark. I don't believe we are going up just because people want to see an ATH. That will happen eventually and it will be natural and much stronger than just now, with less blind greed and speculation. When the price drops from this emotional-choo-choo we are on just now then I will buy, maybe $500 but hopefully lower. If I 'miss the train' then so be it, it's not the end of the world, which some people on this forum fail to appreciate.

FYI
inputs.io, bips, the australian and the czech exchange just got hacked,
that's 3 cases totaling around 9000btc in less than 2 weeks.
i would not risk buying at this prices even if it rises to 1000 or more
just look at the charts...

"hacked".
And I've seen worse than that.
In fiat terms?

Edwar, sounds like you dumped your coins early and being left out.

Are you trying to look for comfort? I can pad your back for 1 BTC.


Not looking for comfort but honestly a stable price.

Since that time I have more fiat dollars and am in a position to invest some of it. May invest in some non-bitcoin investments that require bitcoin and don't want to take a loss when bitcoin comes crashing down.

How can anyone says that he wants stable price - not possible. Bitcoin logical limits are somewhere between $0 and $1M. Now tell me the right price that everyone will be comfortable buying and selling for months.

Well i can answer my own question now

HOLY SHIT FUCKING PANIC SELL

I couldn't sell my fucking bitcoins fast enough. I took a bit of a fucking loss.

Stupid fucking mt. gox does not have a stop loss, where I would have sold my coins before the $5.00 wall was broke.

That was intense selling those coins.

Well I gambled. I had my chance to sell above $5.2 all day today. And had my chance to sell at $5.1 just before the drop and my warning.

Now I have a fucking bit coin loss.

I knew better than to hold them, but held them like an idiot. Just look at my last posts when I said multiple times I was selling,


Its ok Edwar.... just dont be a bitter loser and go bearish due to this. We've got tons of this in here.

Probably even less people are selling. We had huge publicity, some serious money is coming our way that holds no coins at the moment. We are not growing because of these 0.1 BTC buys in these thread.

people have to realize that it will be increasingly harder to get coin "for free" in this market
after all 800 may be not so bad price, albeit to be honest I am not buying right now

Every once in a while, I will buy another small fraction (.05) on coinbase. But I am done investing any major money now. I am bullish, but feel the speculators are really ahead of the infrastructure right now.

Problem is infrastructure will ALWAYS be behind. Once investors from WS come to bitcoin, its price wont stop going up.

Good thing is technology also evolves fast enough to push infrastructure enough to raise floor support.
