why buy @930? is too much, wait for good price, it will come. after bullmarket comes bearmarket, maybe for 2-3 years

Most normal humans thought if ETF was rejected we would go into a bear market till next having.  Now that it's happened, not sure why anyone is suprised after the price was going up at a 45 degree angle for months and then went completely parabolic.  The real question is, who are the morons buying Ethereum scamcoins thinking they're actually a hedge against BTC?  They aren't.  It's just a Digital Currency group / R3 pump and dump so you're buying at the top of their dump.  Eth was already proven to be a scam months ago and now they're trying to resurrect the scam again.

No one can seriously be enjoying this

I'm enjoying it.

I always thought Bitcoin would become more valuable the more times it pushed the envelope and scotched taboos.

On taboo is a contentious hardfork - or at least the serious prospect of one and how it gets resolved. It's just something that has to be explored before the blockchain is allowed to carry a value of £100,000 per coin.

Rights of passage phase. There's been plenty of them and they all seemed apocalyptic at the time.

The BU drama is a hoax - fuelled by the low cost of signalling. Nevertheless, it's had the effect of freaking a few people out. So I'd say it's more of a sociological phenomenon than a technological one.

Just another day at the office.

Ok, this selloff is really starting to rustle my breeches.

No one can seriously be enjoying this, it is a serious collapse in confidence in BTC and possibly the whole crypto landscape. You are not safe in alts.

Yes, it will recover. Eventually.  But what if this isn't 2012 all over again, but it's 2014? 

We hit an ATH of 1350 (ok, on a spike) within the last few weeks.  At the top of a long bull run.  The civil war is starting to like like it might be the start of a nuclear fucking winter.  I don't want to go through three years to get back here again. 

We need to get angry.  Not between the respective 'camps' but with anyone arguing for either side in this civil war.

If anyone here is not part of the solution, they are part of the problem.

Find a compromise, end this - or you are shooting your own golden goose.
I'm enjoying it. Bought a bit. Buying more if it drops more.

I think this is it.

unfortunately you are the perfect contraindicator  Grin

 Cry



Seems a bit of direction trying to form here, downwards its attempting to break down some of the prices we built above as support during February's rise.

At the same time, alt coins are going upwards.  Is that normal behaviour in such cases of BTC negativity or that something special this time from the whole 'debate'

I didn't.  Charts tell you what happened.  I used a thing called common sense.  Once the ETF spike was obvioulsy done and the scaling civil war kicked off again the writing was on the wall.

Common sense said 'it won't go up any more - and it could tank hard'

The chart tells me I was right and it has tanked - what does it tell you?

It pains me to say this:

I sold my trading trading stash of BTC before the ETF, guessing it would not be approved.

I then set up buys on stamp with the money to catch the sub-1000 drop I expected (which I was flabbergasted did not happen immediately).

Then in the past couple of days with all the HF stuff flying around, I changed my mind, cancelled the buy orders and took the cash off Stamp completely.   I see no reason to get back in as long as the existential threat to BTC of a contentious fork is out there.

There was nothing to push up the price after the ETF rejection and the storm which has blown up since is a complete turn off.  Of course it has tanked.

Yes, I am keeping my cold stored BTC and I am keeping my XMR (my only other substantial investment in crypto).  But any extra cash I have will not go into BTC - not until this shit storm is over.  It's just too risky.  

And I have been here and a perma-bull for fucking years.

Sorry guys, but I am not chasing dead cat bounces and praying it will not go lower.  I will let someone else have the 'cheap coins'.

Bitcoin needs to sort it's shit out, or the bull run is over and and BTC (already struggling to stay over 70%) will become less and less important in the CC market.

Confirmed!

Thank you.

I am not crowing or trolling.   I did not want BTC to fall, I just thought it was obvious it could not stay up.  I said so. I sold before the ETF.   And everyone is still talking of ATH in days.

Excuse me, but it around $300 bucks down from where I sold.  Should I panic buy now? 

The fork fear is a shitstorm. I don't care how it gets sorted, I take no sides in the debate, I just weep at the damage being done.

Ones in the know have predicted it going as low as $800 by morning.
Better to sell off now and recover from your losses in the morning. Grin

Bitcoin is in excellent shape. There are no major issues! There will always be selfish miners that make wrong business decisions out of greed. That is part of bitcoin. Get used to it. Buy time!

but but but....... if small fish is panic selling, who is buying?

Selling?: Not small fish, but anyone with any sense a long time ago, above 1200.

Buying?:  Greater fools.

Stop taking hopium and look at the chart?

The denial here is incredible.

Successful investors never use charts to make decisions!

Don't panic! Within next month we shall see new ATH.
