All I see is opportunity! A few years from now we will all look back at this and laugh!

Hopefully a few months from now we will look at this and laugh.
That is exactly the problem in the Bitcoin world. Somebody says, it takes some years to archive something and everybody is just like "Oh, man, can't it happen in a few months? I really want it to happen in a few months. So, I think it is gonna happen in a few months" and in a few months everybody is disappointed, because it hasn't happened, yet.

Step 3: Make Sure You Know Your Talking Points: People leaving bitcoin need to have a reason why. Make sure you have one in your pocket especially during step 2. Please choose one of these: "Price Volatility", "Centralized Mining", "Fixed Supply".

If you want to go all out, you must quote all three, and also drop some vague hints that a random altcoin that solves all these problems will very likely overtake Bitcoin as the crypto of choice in the future.

Is that really possible?

Not even in the distant future.

Well at the moment, story line doesn't look so good. What if the bitcoin never responds like it was predicted, It will take it's place nicely in the pages of history.

that could happen. its high risk tech and investment. welcome  Grin

To be a millionnaire in Bitcoin at a price of 175$  5714 BTC! Having 100 BTC means you could get 17 500$ if you run to the exchanges and the price is not lower by then.

It makes you think if the market is not manipulated by someone who desperately needs some cheap BTC to recover a loss.
Yeah Mt.Gox manipulated the prices upwards suggests they had BTC and no FIAT. Bitstamp COULD well be manipulating prices downwards, suggesting no BTC and plenty of FIAT.

Well, if we can't invest in oil anymore, where will all the investment dollars go?......bitcoin....?

i guess its also a great opportunity to buy oil in the next weeks/months if you look at the charts.  Wink

I think some peeps went into btc for the wrong reasons and should just hold for the long run instead of trying to play the markets. If you know how to trade by all means, but it is no surprise that the average joe loses so much.

Step 12. When Bitcoin crashes down to $0, go to Home depot get some quality rope, tie a nice fat noose around your neck, find a nice sturdy chair to kick under you.




P.S. - Morbid sense of humor, nobody please off yourself, life's way too important.  But if you invested 100% of your life savings without hedging, I guess it's an option... Lips sealed
I would need to buy 1K worth of BTC in pizzas if I want my skinny ass to induce enough weight in the rope to effectively kill myself to avoid a post-Bitcoin world.

Most of the people writing here couldnt afford bitcoin in the first place it seems.
So regardless of the price and regardless of how much ubguys profit or lose from btc is barely a little.
But you guys talk a lot. Kinda lame if u think about it

Yup, the well of ignorance must be 100% proof, the way they all seem so drunk on it.

It'll get back up... After it plummets to the ground first...

It could plummet to 130-140$ before it goes back up or one last dip at 160$ then it will go up. Maybe it will stay a month or two at 200-250$ but the future looks bright.

No the market needs at least a month of dispair then everyone will be very happy and hopeful when the price will be 400$.

Instead of trying to turn this into a joke, I would like to be more reserved for those who had faith in bitcoin. Nobody would want this to happen in the first place and who would have thought it would be so drastic. I had the feeling that it will end up like today but not as bad.

Oh now you had the feeling "it would end up like Today" but you didn't say it would and you bought BTC at a higher price. It didn't ended up, the price just went down and it will likely recover.
