Topic: So who here sold at $50? lol...come on admit it. (Read 1496 times)
People sell BTC regularly dont matter the price on the day, they are only interested to get cash for the coins. Extreme cheap operating cost makes this possible. you have to remember that not everybody pays the same price for energy. if u think u brought a cheap coin at x price think again.
I'm sorry smoothie.
I sold half at 55 because of panic. I didn't sell during the initial crash.. or the yo yoing.. or any of that. But I was tired of missing out on all the swings. Well it went up 40% less than 24 hours after I sold.
Sounds like you have my luck, sir. That is why I decided to just hold. Every time I try to do anything but, I get gox'd.
hold that shit for a year if you have to!
(you could still break a small percentage off for swing trading, like 10%, initially for a loss, do just a couple trades a day maximum... to occupy your time).
I think my biggest problem below $88/BTC is this: If I sell now, that sends a message to my family and friends that I've told about bitcoin. I told them I believe in this cryptocurrency... and yes, I still do believe it will succeed. I believe that WE THE PEOPLE will succeed. I believe Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and many others would have wanted us to succeed. But if we all start compromising our beliefs and goals in exchange for dollars, then we've essentially become greedy hypocrite sell-outs. If I sold during a crash or far below mean avg, while telling the public how much I love bitcoins, and that I'm in it for the long term security of the network.... what kind of asshole would I be? Probably a pink flaming one. =) hahaha

I bought during the "bull trap" from $100 to $130. I suppose it could be worse. 
bought some at 200.. does that count as well?
i was getting close to panic sell all the coins.
but then i bought.
the "reasoning" was: if i sell now and its going down completly, i am out with no cash lost at all, but no btc left. if i stay in and it crashes i have lost cash. if i sell and it goes up again i ´ll lose btc. no way.
I first cleared all of my capital investment at 32, leaving 1/2 my btc. I sold 5% at 50's, 80's, 150's, 240's. Now i'm using that to by back in.
Not considering "selling" - really, buying fiat - till four digits, and even then, I retain the direct BTC use preference (i.e. buy tangible goods without converting to fiat as much as possible). That being said, if I really want to buy a tangible product for BTC and can help a BTC retailer, I spend BTC regardless of the exchange rate. It's just that a higher exchange rate means I can buy more expensive stuff more cheaply. 
I sold at $56 to buy cheaper later. Burned.

Let this be a lesson to the non-believers.
