Are you fuck*ng kidding me?
I started getting into Bitcoin when it was like $750 bucks, it crashed all the way down to $150 coming from the peak of $1200 ish on MtGox... everyone was saying it was dead, but the more I read about Bitcoin, the more it became OBVIOUS to me that Bitcoin was extremely cheap at $1200, and obviously at $150, when all the idiots were claiming it was dead. Now we are once again experiencing exactly the same situation. Bitcoin's technology keeps evolving, everything keeps getting better, but all the noobs get distracted by fake news, fork this fork that... sad to see, but this gives us smart money the possibility to accumulate more before floor becomes 6 figures.
Anyone not accumulating Bitcoin under 5 figures a coin is completely insane. We will revisit this thread in 2020 for some perspective and time will put once again everyone where they belong.

You've nailed it. I actually regret not buying as much as I did back in 2014-2015 because I was a newbie to crypto back then and thought the exact same thoughts that people right now are panicking about. I was worried way too much even though I knew that bitcoin had potential.
So my advice to new bitcoin investors is this - if you think that bitcoin has potential for mass adoption, and be used basically anywhere around the world as a currency in the near future, then you should follow your gut feeling and buy at 4 figures.
Sometimes checking the prices too frequently can become a distraction instead of something of a good thing. That I learned from experience. There is just way too much FUD going on these days, that isn't even legit.

I sold my initial coins when the price started growing in 2013 around $400 and by $600 i ended up selling all of my coins,i was furious when the price went over a thousand dollars and kept moving ,but then the market corrected itself and gave me the opportunity to buy back the coins again at around $250,the problem with me is that i would sell off well before the market reach the pinnacle and that happened in the recent rally in 2017,i sold most of my coins before touching $5k thinking we would see some correction,but the market kept on moving and so i have to sell off my altcoins and covert them to bitcoin ,i am yet to buy back bitcoin but i am investing in altcoins for now as there are some coins which are really low,which might give me more profit than bitcoin in the short run,eventually converting it back to bitcoin.

Can't blame people to risk money into something they don't fully understand. There'd be naysayers and doubters spreading FUD and fear while you are quietly building profits on your arsenal. It also became a lesson to me, when every push to $300 are regarded as 'dead cat bounces' by permabears, it's a sign that you should wait for the price to go down again and buy as many as you can. Made a decent stash by waiting on weekends to buy cheap coins and profited more than I could imagine. The thing is, when these bears are spreading FUD and fear, that is the time to buy when everyone else is selling their hard-earned bitcoins.
I just have the feel that im surrounded by people that joined Bitcoin in 2017. I can't stand all these complete morons on Youtube making videos about Bitcoin with their obnoxious thumbnails. It was way better when it was underground, but I guess this is the world we live in now, and thanks to these idiots panic selling, we'll profit buying the dip and taking their cheap Bitcoin away from their hands, which they never deserved to own to begin with. I researched enough to feel confident about getting involved in the middle of a crash, but these people are clearly jumping on the bandwagon for no reason other than internet traffic.
I can't wait for the next ATH, I'll add them to my collection of people that were wrong. Im making a nice folder filled of screenshot. I got many from back in the MtGox crash period.

Same here. Bought my first coins @150. Then I decided to buy more. That time it was at around 600. As it was going up I bought some more at 700. Invested all my savings. Then it went down from 1200 to 150 and it seemed like its over. Had a huge loss but told me "the captain goes down with the ship" and holded and still holding.
But the situation in December made feel exactly like that time around 1200. I swear I wrote a few times here that it feels exactly like back on that MtGox time. And everybody was telling "its different this time, we will go up up up". Whatever, I hold through this as well.

Similar story here buddy, I started buying when bitcoin was about £400, at one point I was at over a 50% loss. I HODLED through that & I’ll sure as hell HODL through this.
I plan to sell around 75% of my stash in approx 2021, I think the price will go parabolic by then.

It should be called a 2014 crash and not 2013. One thing from that time you might remember was that people were keep calling bottom. And that price can never go under that. $600 and $500 and $400 and $300. And at the end when even under $200. That was the real bottom. And that is why calling some is super silly.
But yes fundamentals never change. More you read more you can be sure of the bright future. I was not here in 2013, but joined in 2014 same as you. I read and learn and knew what will happen. But I had dreamed in wildest dream that will at start of 2018 ECB sending tweets with pools if Bitcoin is an alternative to Euro. I imagine that happen years latter.

We are just in the era of should I say original Bitcoinners that are adequately fit to be in the field. No one with Bitcoin as far as then and who truly knows and understands Bitcoin etiques that can ever flout junks of Bitcoin incumbency. Can we blame them of their foolish FUDs? When they are nothing but just what I can call CRYPTOPEST. They are just here to suck Bitcoin Sugar and fly away when it's saulty, which ignorantly and unknowingly to them is the period of addictness. We are not bothered or worried in the real sense of it about the current situation of Bitcoin. Hard times never last,no cause for unnecessary panic.
