Topic: Say bye to Triple Digits - page 4. (Read 9996 times)

I don’t have a problem with that since that give us nice chances to invest at those lower prices and make profits when the price finally recovers, so we must take those prices as a great opportunity to earn in the long term with bitcoin.

It is definitely too soon to call that but it is always a good sign to see the price crossing the thousand dollar valuation even with the confusions hovering above our shoulders regarding what to expect and if the sentiments are right and a couple of good bull runs will make sure that the price wont see the triple digits ever again and that is how things are at the moment,hope it will reach the potential like everyone believes in.

This is fluctuation, and smart traders make a profit out of it.


I agree, it can be easily fixed but the thing is there is two major group that have different proposal about it and they are competing against each other to get the upper hand and control.  I still wondering why this two camp are not adjusting to accommodate both plans and emerge with a new proposal that all of us can have benefits. 

sometimes, when you say goodbye to the bitcoin price figures are 3 digits, sometimes the price is really back. well, maybe it is normal that we are happy if the bitcoin price rises, but it might make us disappointed when the price of bitcoin really came back on 3-digit, even more so for the moment.

History shows that this down thrends is normally happens and its up to us on how we overcome the price downside and we should be more aware so that we wouldn't lose our money for this drop but FUD and mud throwing to bitcoins is normally happening since many people wants to create commotion so that they can buy bitcoins at cheapest price to earn with it when the price will pump.

Last time I checked btc is above $1000 and ETH is down. Alt-coins market beginning to feel the dump and in a matter day, btc market price will rise again. Maybe HF is being used by a lot of FUD last couple of weeks as evident of a lot of threads here in our community. But it also look likes it is almost over for now because HF will not push through just yet. So bitcoin price is soaring. We just need to be watchful though, as we don't want btc to be pump by big whales then ran again to alt-coins to gain profits. We just need to hold on our bitcoin and see where it will take us in the near future. 

Now we are back to $1000+, but we will see how long it lasts. Big moves in the altcoin market, millionaires have been made in the last few days. Big big pumps in a couple altcoins. The HF FUD is being used for that.

It's too soon but I had a nice feeling of Deja Vu when I said farewell to double digits in the past
So looking forward to that day arriving a few years down the road ^^.

I've been in here longer then you kid, I don't need to look at the history of bitcoin, I was there.

This is different though.     

This isn't some FUD about an exchange being hacked, or the president of China farting on chinese miners.     
This is a serious issue that is caused by poor leadership and politics.   
An issue that could have been prevented, and could be fixed easily. But so far it has taken years and it's still not fixed, and there's no sign that it would be fixed at all. 

The technical side of the problem is trivial, but the political side is difficult. And most of the altcoins don't have the same problem, because they have nothing to lose, so their leadership isn't fighting for control (yet, at least).   

Due to this infighting, the user experience for bitcoin users is noticeably getting worse. Or at best stagnating (and in revolutionary technology, stagnation is identical to deterioration). While at the same time altcoins keep innovating and increasing user experience.   

How long do you think bitcoin can ride of their network effect alone? Because truth is, bitcoin has offered nothing to their users other then being the big guy in town for the last 2 years or so.   

Do you really think this fact alone will be enough to carry bitcoin for another 2 years?

think again.     

Bitcoin is still young, most investors are innovators and early adopters. Early adoption and innovation is in your blood, you're either an early adopter or you're not. 
Early adopters constantly look for revolutionary technology. And right now, bitcoin has became stale. 
So most of the whales in bitcoin have already started to look for promising new ideas. Some may have already diversified a bit to test the waters.     
   
It won't be long before they dive in completely. You can't keep innovators and early adopters satisfied for very long with a stale product.

lol. have you seen bitcoin price history so far!
it has been always like this, the current trend of price going down and having (seemingly) trouble to go back up has been a common thing. the FUD subject changes but the principle stays the same

the same goes for altcoins, they have always used this opportunity to pump themselves and that is not new either.

I fully agree, they are ruining bitcoin and letting altcoins getting their marketcap as a result of pour leadership

I have been HODLing my bitcoins for forever, and I never sold, not even when the price dropped to $250ish after having reached $1300. I don't give a damn, I don't sell for price swings up or down.     
But just recently I did sell 25% of my coins and exchanged them for altcoins, because I am getting sick and tired of this blocksize debate, and it's hurting bitcoin.   

If this debate isn't resolved soon, bitcoin will die from it.     
   
And the worst thing is, is that bitcoin core had the responsibility to avoid this debate, and they failed. Yet they still have support of many people, even though they failed the one job they had.

With you on this, most of us who've been HODLing will continue to hold, perhaps with some appetite to add to our stock when the price dips to more "affordable" levels. I hardly think those who've been in it for the long haul would feel any concern for price this year. The only significant event was the new high, and that is overall good news.

You're also probably not alone in diversifying to some of the more established alts now, however, what with all the blocksize wars going on. Makes me wish I had a bit more capital to manage that strategy.

Yup nothing to be worried about short term fluctuations and we are used to it now and at a moment bitcoin is still trending in 3 digits but it will again achieve the 4 digit price in next couple of weeks and till it achieves that be strong and hold your coins tightly.

Well, if bitcoin survived the fall from $1300 to $200 back in 2014, it will survive this little dip easily.
And that almost all altcoins rise when bitcoin price falls, it is also a very well known scenario, people just move their funds from one coin to another. Recent trend in alts feels very possitive to me, because it means that people doesn't change their bitcoins back to fiat, but that they believe in crypto and leave their money in it. It is a proof that crypto adoption works.

I still believe in bitcoin, fork or no fork. It is just natural to be scared of the upcoming fork so it reflects on the price. But we know bitcoin is better than bu, so it will bounce back and be on track to the moon soon.

Me too, but i fear for the ewbies that stepped in a month ago and they are making lots of losses every day. Also new bitcoin users wont step in now so that means no more adoption. They are choosing ethereum now, you can see it at google trends and in Africoins topic. Cmon even choosing ethereum above bitcoin, then you know that there is something wrong with btc.

You're right, possitive publicity is always better.    But just remember how quickly we got above 1k.. One year ago, we dreamed even about $800, because we were somewhere around $400 or something.. On September we were on $600 and on New Years Eve we poped our champagne with $1k.. Two months later we reached ath at  $1400, so being around 1k again it is not any big disaster, we still have hundreds of % growth within one single year. I think it's amazing and current  btc price just makes me smile.
