In my opinion, going "all-in" or "all-out" at this very moment is dangerous (only exception: if you are totally satisfied with your profits until now).

The scaling debate still dictates the price movements. In every single moment the following two things could happen:
- some pool jumps to BU and gets it near or over 50%, making hard fork a real risk -> very bearish (target: ~700)
- some pool jumps to Segwit and gets it near or over 50%  -> bullish / sideways (~1200-1350, but perhaps not strong enough for a new ATH)
- UASF gets traction and Segwit approval is very likely -> very bullish (new ATH, target ~2000)
- a compromise solution (EB, Segwit2MB) gets Core and majority miner approval -> also very bullish

That's why I wouldn't take sides still. And I disagree with AnonyMint: I think no side has "won" until now.

None of those are possibilities. 0% chance.

I think no side has "won" until now.

And no side will ever win.

Reading the following threads (not just the linked post) will help you understand:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18526721
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18571238
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18579825
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18570031

The above link to all my points on the Scalepocalypse.



Sell all crypto-currency to fiat IMMEDIATELY. BTC will dive -30%. Altcoins will decline even more. SegWit and scaling has been defeated on both Bitcoin and (at least near-term) also Litecoin. Also there are macroeconomics things going on which will also hit gold and every asset except USD. Store your money in USD or altcoin USDT (dollar peg) temporarily until this dip has concluded

I posted about this the other day.  Wondering what people's opinions are on the value of cryptocurrency during geopolitical issues (ie war, financial markets crash etc).  It is an interesting subject... it seems you're of the opinion crypto will crash heavily.  That is one possibility, but it also could potentially be unaffected due to the decentralized nature and perhaps even grow as people look for alternatives to store their money in times of crisis?  Just a thought... I'm a glass half full kind of guy :-)

Either way, it's a good topic for people to get involved with as an overall market drop would be a bummer for everyone!

Crypto is not long-term affected by geopolitical noise.

The crypto market is undergoing a painful Scalepocalypse metamorphosis as n00bs come to understand their idol Satoshi was an evil motherfucking genius.

So this cognitive dissonance is causing them to rail against Bitcoin (USAF nonsense, etc), and so they will be served up some event which steals their tokens to silence them so Bitcoin can move forward without the deadweight.

bitcoin hold that you have today is going to take the advantage in the future. in addition, bitcoin buy in large quantities when the price drops would be to make you feel a huge advantage. especially if the price drops below $ 1000, it may be our opportunity to buy bitcoin and hold it.

The momentum is dying out, its time for a profit taking if anyone wants to make 10-20% and buy back.

http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/btceUSD#rg180ztgSzbgBza1gWMAzm1g10za2gWMAzm2g25zxzi1gCCIzi2gMACDzv

The way things are going, there is more money in dumping/buying back than just HODLing.

I've sold some coin at the top already so I'm not that concerned right now. Worst situation for me is that bitcoin crashes to sub one thousand dollars and I lose some of the profits I made from buying at 700, that's all.

But it does seem like that the moon island is changing right now it is starting to move sideways instead of going up every day it is interesting that we have never broken $1,300 and stayed above that level it's interesting to see when that would happen actually.

If it does drop below 1000 and I'll be the first person to buy in lol
Yes, you're one of the fortunate ones who bought at around $700.  And dammit, I remember when bitcoin was sub $200, and I was fool enough to resist buying.

I disagree with the OP here, brcause I don't think the momentum has fizzled out.   We're just taking a breather like we have been doing for months now.   I still think it's a good idea to buy.

No why would you even want to sell your bitcoins now after japan adopted it and now many more people are been introduced to bitcoin. Plus we don't see any huge dump or pump in the coin lately. Reconsider your decision.

Yes, that is the point, why would I sell my bitcoins if there are a lot of reasons to consider. Japan accpeted bitcoin that means users will be adding up, they will try bitcoin and once it is liked by them they will be using it, it will gradually affect the price. And bitcoin always do some slight down movement every time and there nothing new about that.

Yes, i also want to ask why we sell our bitcoin? We bought bitcoins for holding and any investment, and everyone know that risk is here in bitcoin price. But still people want to take a risk and this risk give us profit only. That's why there is nothing new now.

I agree there is more money in selling and buying than just holding Bitcoin but there is more risk in it too.  Once the selling timing is bad, it will only lead to losses.   So basically to be able to take advantage of fluctuation one must have the skill and knowledge.  Having knowledge is easier than having skill or understanding the market.

bitcoin price is going down .well i would not agree on you to sell all the bitcoins .yes now is the time that you buy some bitcoins.
well wait till august if you can ,the price of bitcoins is going to touch 2000$ .well then it would be the best time to sell all your bitcoins.
I'm not sure what is exactly happening with the bitcoin prices because two major bitcoin exchanges are trading with big gap. But certainly we can say it is not the right time for profit booking but it seems prices are recovering from fluctuations and we can expect prices to break $1200 and $1225 levels again.

Holding and adding up more investment are actions right now recommended because bitcoin prices are just showing usual fluctuations and in long-term perspective it is so stable for another rally.

Bitfinex is unable to processs fiat USD withdrawals (Wells Fargo, who were processing them, has started to block them). That's why the bitcoin price is higher than on other exchanges - people are buying bitcoin to get their money out, as bitcoin withdrawals are still working.

It's a neutral time to buy Bitcoin. If you really wanted to benefit from the panic, you should have bought your coins well under the $1000 level. I don't see how the price will reach $2000 while Bitcoin is still the same. People are waiting for those larger blocks, which at the same time is a required upgrade to push Bitcoin further. No larger blocks, no $2000 level. It's harsh to say it like this, but it's the hard reality.
My opinion is pretty similar to yours, I think that is not a good moment to buy bitcoins for long-term investment.
I would stay more to the 1000$ levels, to obtain 1 or 2 for a good interest.

The times, when bitcoin price will reach 2000$ are not so far from now, that might be even 2 years.
That is non-optimistic version, but i dont expect bitcoin to reach almost 50% higher price in a short period of time.

Buying on the current moment in not getting profits from the panic, because it is already a big price according to the history of bitcoin.

Of course you can just buy and hold for many years but there is significant sideways movement now. Its a good time sell out around 1200 and buy back close to $1000 and then once again wait for a good rise to come along to take profits.

The whole idea of trading is TAKING PROFITS when they come along and then looking for another good deal to come along. As for buying, $1000 or less has value but not at all worth buying right now.

That's why I hold the bitcoin in my desktop wallet as savings for a long term use. Price fluctuation is normal bitcoin due to its volatility. I if you looking good profit atleast you need to wait for upcoming christmas because price use to increase in this especially. Hold it till and it will increase more number in wallet as well as rate in price chart.

If it does drop below 1000 and I'll be the first person to buy in lol

This is why altcoins decline more than BTC does when BTC declines.

Any altcoin that remained high would be sold to buy some cheap BTC. Since BTC can absorb more flows than altcoins can, the altcoins decline more on a percentage than Bitcoin. When BTC is rising, the inverse effect occurs.

So selling altcoins that had significant rises might be wise right about now while they are still near their peaks.

Ur wrong there are altcoins with real use case, some will just keep adding value

There are only few coins with tiny use right now. One is Monero other are some coins that was issued to be a currency in games.  But that use is so small that is of little importance. It need to grow x10 to be worth of mention.

not really!
you can't tell anything at this point. this topic should have said take profit yesterday before the F2pool trolling tweet. and when price was above $1220.
now that price has come down it is too late to sell to take profit. it may go down but the chances aren't good enough to warrant a sell at this point.

It's good that i sold my bitcoins

bitcoin price is going down .well i would not agree on you to sell all the bitcoins .yes now is the time that you buy some bitcoins.

I agree, maybe the price is going to fall more, who knows, but if it falls, it will be creating conditions to buy more bitcoins and if price rises would be created conditions to sell bitcoins.

Cries of a recent seller.
The thread should say: I sold, but it's not going down. Sell you idiots so I can buy back!
Op, maybe you should buy back now while it's still cheap. Be quick and you might just make it before the next big pump.
