Where art thou oh great Max Kaiser, Andreas Antonopoulos and Winkelvii twins form the movie "The Social Network" we need your reassurance that bitcoin will survive!

If you need constant assurance from other people, you should not be in bitcoin.

Haha, that's an amazing picture to go with it...

In the end, investing all of what you've got in Bitcoin (or in any other 1 investment), as the op did, is pretty crazy. It's not as much about diversification as it's about being somewhat safe.

Well all my friends say I'm crazy so makes sense

The Winklevii also lost money (on paper) because Cameron said in his recent Reddit AMA that he has not sold any of his Bitcoins up till now (I am assuming the same is true for his brother) and made a reference to the Hold Spartans meme. They are confident in Bitcoin's future in the long term.

I invested my life savings too. Then again. I'm in college and I could afford to lose the $3000 I put in from my summer job....

Why am I dumb and greedy?

For investing life savings into one of the riskiest investments.
But mostly for using BTC as a "get rich quick" scheme. I happen to use Bitcoins mostly for buying and selling real stuff, and price volatility caused by speculators like you are a major pain in the ass with using BTC as a currency right now.

You can just take some off the table and diversify into stocks or something. Rare earths or 3d printing are some interesting alternatives.

Too bad nearly all the altcoins are tied to BTC, and end up dropping with BTC as well.

even if you are know what you are doing, nothing is guaranteed. you could end up losing your entire savings. if you are a professional investor, i guess the case would be different (ie: warren buffet).

No it wouldn't be actually. It was the same Warren Buffett who said that if someone handed him a revolver with 1 bullet he would never pull the trigger regardless of how much money he could make. There's still a chance you could lose everything. He was talking about Solomon and how those guys lost everything because they thought were smarter than they were.

Just look at the recent debacle involving boy genius arrogant Bill Ackman who got fried for thinking he was unbeatable and got wiped out basically on the Herbalife and JC Penney deals.

I don't believe you should diversify into dozens of places, but you shouldn't bet the house on just one horse no matter how good the odds. People make mistakes and no one can foresee the future.

They are busy manipulating the market to buy cheap coins

They bought the coins when the BTC was trading against the USD at $100. Why should they buy more , especially at $800 levels? An intelligent person would be doing profit booking right now.

How can you invest in the Winklevoss EFT right now? It's not public yet right.

On another note, one of my biggest concerns is that someone like Winkelvoss or Max holding a shit ton of BTCs will sell them all and cause the overall price to plummet. But I think there's still a long way to go before they would consider doing that.

I think there were some more initial investors besides the Winkelvii for the ETF.

I don't think they'll sell their coins in the short term. They have clarified it many times. The coins will be held on for long term.

Both the Max Kaiser and the Winkelvoss twins gave BTC much needed publicity a few months ago and Bitcoiners should not forget that in all of a sudden. Those who had invested in the Winklevoss BTC ETF are currently sitting at 600% net gain, despite yesterday's crash. So no hard feelings towards them.

Why would you invest your savings and then sell everything right when it drops? If investing were as easy as putting money in and watching it increase then everyone would be doing it, you should of done more research before you invested your life savings into such an unstable currency.

What do you mean sell everything right when it drops? I haven't sold anything yet, I am expecting it to reach a certain level before I sell
