for every winner there is a loser.

Eehhh no.. I think you don't understand Bitcoin yet...

for every big winner that are multiple loser, but those loser are losing a small fraction

I can't believe that there are still people holding who bought at $1000. I can't figure out why people insist on riding their losses all the way to the bottom. If that's not bad enough, a lot of people then finally give up and sell at the bottom right before a big rally. Makes no sense.

there are still chance(i would say high enough) that bitcoin will skyrocket again one day, so it make sense for them to holding, they will not lose too much anyway, from now, in comparison to what they have already lost

Neh, Probably those who bought at $1k already sold the coins after the Mt.Gox incident alot of panic sell occurred and if there were people holding they're probably out of their mind.

Not my case, as I wouldn't have money to buy anyway. But it's easy to say that in hindsight. Not so easy when you don't know the future. Not everyone can read the market well enough to know when to buy or sell. And many that think they can can't. The best most people can do is avoid risking more money than they can afford to lose.

The highest I paid was around $800 which is bad enough to comment I think. It's high volatility that convinced me to buy at that price, so there's little excuse to be surprised about the price collapse since. I'm sure it's much more painful for people who didn't follow the advice of not investing more than they could afford to lose.

Those pizzas provided an impetus to the whole Bitcoin economy.
Who knows, Bitcoin may not have reached $1000 if it weren't for those pizzas!!

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.

Maybe we'll get another phony run-up or psycho exchange operator with a willy bot to jack the price again. Except this time they should sell and wait for the downward correction.

Indeed. It was a normal price at that time (2 xl pizzas I think??). There are no what ifs, that guy would probably have used them on something else or sold them before any significant price increase.

Most are probably thinking the same thing they always do: must. keep.holding. Nothing much else they can do. For the vast majority of people who bought in at 1000 I think a lot of them were just newbies who were hoping bitcoin was going to be a magical money tree and get rich quick scheme but they soon found out it wasnt. I still think if they hold they'll recoup their money within a couple of years maybe even profit before then.

not the most expensive pizza by that time 22nd May 2010 as i think time it was roughly around $25 to $30 but it was the first real time purchase in the bitcoin history that made by Laszlo Hanyecz, from Florida.

What are you thinking about now? I would hate to be in your shoes at least when I purchased my share in Bitcoin they were below the current price but I do regret not selling at least 25% at $1000 now.

I purchased a bit when it hit $980 and sold when it dropped down to $1010. I'm not complaining. I'm surprised very few people had raised suspicion for such a quick price increase.
At least the boost increased adoption.

You would never know what would happen. A man that sold his Apple stock in 1985 thinking he was making a great deal would kill himself if he knew how high it would eventually get.
