this isn't the greatest time to sell. but i suspect we will still go on to test the $260ish level. maybe try to get out on a rally back to $330-350, then pick them back up at $260....or $200.... or lower.

I like bitcoin because in the age of credit default swaps, naked short sells, derivatives, and currency manipulation, there is a community that thrusts a finger at the banksters and is trying to bring sanity back to commerce.

That conversation had to do with Bitcoin as money.

Quote from: cbeast on April 10, 2013, 03:11:09 PM

I 50% agree with the OP. I think MtGox and other exchanges are fooling themselves to think that a few kids with PCs can compete with the big boys. There should be no day trading except through licensed brokers. In fact, the Bitcoin prices should only be reported by the brokers as well. Let them deal with the brunt of the public interface. Having a website that is open to the public is just a painted target for DDOS attackers. It would be better to have many brokers open to the public and a few exchanges only open to brokers.

This conversation had to do with trading.

With 35 bitcoin only thing that I can do is to HODL for better times, because actually it only worth around 9.000$ dollars. Actually with 35 BTC I can not buy neither a car (but I can realize many of my dream).

In USA you can buy a car with 9k, and not a bad one.

and 9k dollars might be a life saver if things go the wrong way.

But use it as reserve is a good idea, because I doubt prices are going lower

Probably you would either store it securely if you expect its value to increase, or you would sell it if you dont.
But what you wouldnt do is 'invest' your gold on some anonymous website that promises to make you more gold over time.

Try thinking of your BTC stash in the same way.

Make sure you keep 21 in a cold storage you can store for decades. That way you will always have 1 millionth of all bitcoins that will ever be created.

Work on getting the rest of your coins up to 210. Then set those aside so that you have 1/100,000th of all bitcoins ever.

Then go for 2,100.

I would put 30 BTC in a paper wallet and use the remaining 5 BTC to daytrade in 2015. I would keep a close eye on any news concerning bitcoin, and watch out for new major companies accepting the currency. When a few more big companies join the boat, it could easily spark new interest, driving the price up.

Well, are you an experienced trader or investor? Many people who try to darted - or even just trade the "big" waves - end up with less than they initially started with. When it comes to investing, where would you invest? The BTC stocks have also seen better times, yet I hope for some to make a comeback. I think AMHash is giving you a nice positive ROI as of now, compared to other cloud mining services!

Personally, I'm a believer in paper wallets over gadgets like the Trezor. I must admit I don't know much about how it works. Does it have a recovery seed or backup function?

At least a paper wallet that is well password protected, well stored and duplicated at least once won't break and if it does (fire, etc.) just use the duplicate.

Inspect the paper wallet every couple of years and if the print seems to be fading (laser printers are supposed to be superior to ink-jets) then simply generate new paper wallets and transfer your BTC to the new ones.

At the moment? Definitely put them in a cold wallet and wait for the price to recover or even reach a new ATH! I'm still completely optimistic in the long term success, so having 35 BTC in a nice paper wallet or a Trezor would be a very much appreciated thing!

I would generate 35 paper wallets with the private key BIP38 password encrypted. Making sure it's a very familiar/simple password that I will never forget. The password would be known only by myself and a loved one: long term girlfriend/mother/father/sister etc and would be personal to both of us. Maybe the name of a street we grew up in together.

This will protect against thieves using my paper wallet if I got burgled and also if I got dementia or hit on the head and lost my memory.

Print two copies of each wallet and keep one in my home and one at the loved ones home in case of fire/theft.

Send 1 BTC to every wallet.

Sit back and forget about Bitcoin for ten years. Or just enjoy reading the forums and the interesting technology and culture building up around Bitcoin.

35 well secured BTC should give you a very comfortable life in 10 years time.

use that upto 5 coins to either:

1. buy products at wholesale (research drop shipping) and then sell for profits based in bitcoin
2. start your own business and pay someone to make a great service/website/project that can gain you regular bitcoin income from
3. get a bitcoin ATM and let people hand you bank notes for the upto 5btc (+small markup value) and then use the bank notes to buy more coin, rinse and repeat
