It doesn't feel like we are going to go much lower  Undecided

yup looks like a bottom ( on one wants to sell coins for less then 10$ )

watching for high  volume / low price moment to make it definite.

Things I already learned the expensive way:
- first plan often is better than second plan
- decide, then stick to it
- wait long enough for it

I learnt this the hard way too...

But why for not you dump the 100K BTC for the us to be buying at much prices cheaper?

..and if I was to buy in again, with a huge loss, I can be sure it will drop like a stone two days later!

I bought back in yesterday and the day before.
You will *never* guess what happened then!

Ente since you seem to be self-described as a terrible trader let me suggest a trading strategy that works if you are a long term bull (if you believe in the long term success of bitcoin).

1. Don't sell at a loss.  If you get caught in a bull trap, move those coins into your long term holdings.
2. If the price declines significantly (by 25% or 50% you choose), buy what you can and trade those until this $ is caught above again (see 1).
3. If the underlying security really is a very long term bull, the lower it goes the better you'll eventually do...
4. Profit! :-)

Note that this degenerates in a bear market (if you keep getting caught) into the well known long term dollar cost averaging strategy

A similar, more constrained strategy is when the price drops in half, recheck fundamentals (i.e. is the outlook still very long term bullish?) and double your investment.  This can be a very lucrative strategy because you end up with twice as much at the lower price as at the higher so if you get a full retracement to your original price you are way ahead.

If you pick the wrong security and it ultimately goes out of business... well, you lose! :-)



Thanks for the plan!
Yes, that's a kind of difficulty level I feel comfortable with :-P

It seems like I repeatedly have the problem to buy in too late/expensive. Being long-term bull, I have no problem sitting on my bitcoins and seeing the exchange rate drop.
My problems come when I think "hey, everything looks obvious that the rate will drop in the next days! I sell now to buy back in with a profit!" and then the price just keeps on climbing. Eventually I buy back in, at a loss (and then the price drops like a stone).

Currently, and normally, I have no fiat laying around (on Gox etc). I am 100% bitcoin, and sell only to play a round of "bad speculator". So when the price drops, like now, I can't even buy additional bitcoins..

Things I already learned the expensive way:
- first plan often is better than second plan
- decide, then stick to it
- wait long enough for it

Thank you people for your thoughts!
Maybe a new thread is due?

This looks manipulated. Staying on bull.

Dude, look at the charts from a little bigger distance (not too far away, of course).
10$ to 9.50$ This weekend and than starting next week with a nice bull trap.

Amazing lack of depth in either direction. My vote is down. Just takes time to suck all the cash out of the little guys. Need a month more.
