I've played the market 3 times and won all 3...
$104 --> $235
$88 --> $100
$104 --> $135

The sell at $135 was actually good because it dropped down to $120 for a few days after that. I just never bought back in (thought it was gonna go down further), and now it's shot back up to $155.

Here's one for you:

"A part of all you earn is yours to keep."

If you need money (fiat) for something, fine, but always keep 10% of your coins for the future. Invest it as it were. If I had done that properly, and then cashed out at $200+, my mining profits would have been about half of my yearly income just from that 10%. Anyway, I'm holding now and thinking next major sell I'm going to do will be at $500. It might take months or even a year or more to get there, but when we do, I should be sitting on close to 100 BTC if not more. At some point in the next few years, when the price is high enough I'll cash out of 90% of my coins and pay off my house. :-D

This really out weighs most benefit i could get by trading.....yeah sure I could buy and sell, but I going to miss the boat at some point is a sell, and then its going and order of magnitude on me, not comming back, and thats that.

Yup. Add to that the fact that day-traders are highly exposed to optimism bias and selective memory. Furthermore, the bitcoin market is likely a fun toy for experienced Wall St. traders who get to manipulate a thin market and fleece a bunch of 23yr olds who think they have it "figured out".

Day trading is a negative-sum game. Very similar to poker. In poker, an analysis of large online hand databases suggested that about 2/3 of players lost, and that the vast majority of the 1/3 that actually ended up ahead, only ended up very slightly ahead (ie, not even close to being worth the time). I'd love to see a survey of the 2/3 of losing players and how many of them *think* that they win....again, optimism bias and selective memory.

I wouldn't sell at 1000$

I am not here to day trade and all that stress, to get 1x more or 4x more here and there even if I could pick the tops an bottoms.

What I am into is the orders of magnitude increase of BTC, 10, 100, 1000, 10,000 etc.

$110 being tested, not much support there but it's growing.

I don't think $100 needs to be worried that much - if it holds 3 figures today after having posted $135 I'll be happy.

Guys what's with the constant emo bear pessimism?

Get a grip.

The market has survived a parabolic rise and subsequent correction. This gives every reason to be bullish. $135 is a very fair price an I fully expect it to continue rising in the coming weeks and months.

My take would be, the time to buy back was 15 minutes ago. Hope you did

Quoted! I didn't actually, Let's see if I'll have any regrets. IMHO we can buy back cheaper.

Nikola thinks it'll go lower. I believe $110.25 was the bottom for today. One of us is right

Bitcoin's volatility has impressed me several times before, though. I went +50,000 USD in with speculative capital the day when it smashed from 90->50 about 84 hours ago.

No, I did not buy at 50, my average buy point was 86! That was my smartest guess, which was outsmarted by the herd that day.

Anyway, half of that position is still long (half sold after a day at 92) and I will sell it according to schedule for a profit.

If it goes below 90, I will buy back. I am short term bearish for anything above 130.

Yeah well I wasn't able to get any money into Gox until yesterday (missed the $50 buying opportunity). I did get in at $90, sold on the second blip at $130. I bought back in at $120 and I'm going to sleep.

thats kind of what I am saying though..I think there are quite a few people who got in ver their heads.They bought in at 170+ saw it go to 50 and now will just want out.I will be surprised if he doesnt sell as soon as it hits break even territory.because if he blows this chance he may lose a wife,or maybe he will say screw you to her rd eit out and buy a maserati to pick up his new wife...no idea really just putting one real world example out there that I believe reflects a percentage of the post bubble BTC holders out there..but yah lets swing for 170 going into the weekend.Any higher too soon might have people on edge.we can always hit 300 next weekend.

Let's be honest here, all the sensible was money was in at < $70

How dare you come on these forums and ask for sensibility.

I'm am relatively clueless about trading compared to a professional trader or broker (although I've been trading stocks for almost 25 year). The professional traders have a bit more insight but you can't try to explain the behavior of some 23 year old pot smoking kid who's got 10 rigs in his garage mining away LTC and buying coins in between puffs.

I think it's all luck, you can see all the cups and handles and boobs in the graph that you want...

Darn! I had a sell order for 100 BTC @ 135, but I cancelled it when the price was around 130, thinking we'd go right through. Had I sold 100 BTC @ 135, and bought back @ 125, I'd have gained 7 BTC.

Smart move BUT I don't think sub-$130 will be anything other than a blip, there's a very narrow window to get back in without passing up on profits.

A little consolidation at $130 would be a good thing, build some Bid walls up again.

Also: when the market's like this you can afford to sit out a small gain.

I did yesterday when the lag spiked and then shifted to bringing the MtGox website down.

I passed on about $10 of the rise but felt good to not be exposed in new territory.

Risk management I suppose.

I'm pondering consolidation around 130 also, I'm not convinced this is going to drop just yet. And heck, if we are getting back into the old rally mode it may just sit around here for a couple hours before it continues.

Haha lucky you! My Bitcoins are at home whilst I am at uni. I thought about calling my girlfriend to make a transfer to BTCE but though better of it. I took them off the exchange to stop me wasting time day trading.
