As more people and businesses accept bitcoins to transact, its value will go up as it will become a more useful currency.
I don't see why you think that the boat has sailed already. Also, why would anyone want to have missed the boat? In reality it's not a boat since you can exit whenever you like. If you think that you've made enough profit, just sell.
The real risks with bitcoins are keeping them safe. You have very little assurance with online services since there are no legal guarantees that your coins are safe like a recognized currency in a bank.

Topic: Who MISSED the BOAT? (Read 1957 times)
aww, I should have put everything I have into bitcoin when I first heard of it 2 years ago.
I missed.. 
but now i will focus on alt coins.. waiting for next boom. (in my luck, it will never happen or i miss it somehow)

Suppose I missed the new boat. First read about bitcoins years ago, didn't really seem worth the hassle when it was worth $3 etc hah
Started doing some mining about 7 months ago although the hardware I was using was nearly 3 years old (great ATI gaming card at the time), about 0.1 coins a week.
Had a couple of coins, thought I would try a bit of arbitrage between Bitstamp and GOX. Well it worked however good lucking getting any Fiat money out of GOX! This was at around $200+ USD which felt like a massive return at the time relative to traditional market investment.
Sat in their outpayment queue for about a month with no indication of where I was in this alleged queue, gave up and got the funds put back into the account. I should have bought back into BTC at the time and left it however I sort of just forgot about it, next thing I hear bitcoins are $800+ lol
Oh well :-) Have bought back into BTC via GOX (my only option) however could have been a lot more enjoyable if I just held my BTC

Well wait for your turn, the boat stops at set regular intervals 
In my view it depends on how you look at things - If you're buying BTC with a view to long term gain then perhaps - But if you're simply day trading with the key to profit from prolific price shifts then I'd say the boat hasn't even arrived.....
Opportunities are like buses. There's always another one coming.
I think its all down to risk and every aspect of life consists of risk.. people think its not tangible but your money is paper and worthless and is no different to some zeros and ones down at the central bank.. so if you take the risk and you have some savings or surplus money then its worth a try but dont go lending money or using money that you need to support the family etc..
one point to note is that on these blogs you will find people who are trying to deceive you into parting from your money.
i found a cloud mining add and a user was claiming this company is amazing and how they just invested and now get this much back every month.
I reserched the company on a database, did some due diligence and they set up 3 weeks ago, the user is also a new user set up 2 weeks ago..
you dont need to be a brain surgeon to work out whats going on...

As long as BTC goes up, LTC will keep following suit. In fact it's been growing, and will continue to grow, at a faster rate than BTC. As BTC keeps rising, more and more people will start looking at the lower-priced alt coins.
The last 2 days are showing exactly that but we have to wait more to see if that trend continues.
In any case seems that there are still a lot of boats for people to miss
do you guys consider buying LTC now @$37 a bad idea?
Whatever you do always seems a bad idea at the time you do it, unless you can see the future. I am really enjoying the ride with my ltc right now.
I wonder where the new equilibrium will be. Here's hoping it's higher yet.

I'd be happy to miss that boat anyday.
If you haven't missed it, you could have sold your btc and earned 10x profits.
Maybe it will eventually sink, but you could get out before that.
my boat will be sailing back, soon.
if i miss the boat, it might as well crash and burn. that is how i think most people feel 
bitcoin has been on the rise for a month with no signs of slowing down.. it could crash sure, or it could fly to new heights and stay there.

Except when they rise in stock 900%. 
I hoping i just about caught the boat. I bought some last weekend, its since doubled in price.
Might sell half my coins now, to get my investment back, then keep the rest no matter to see where the market goes?

Seems as good strategy. I used something similar myselves and now I have no reason to panic sell and I sleep much better...
Yep.Just like that. This strategy saves your nerves.
Think positive. Theres always the next boat you can catch. It'll get you there later, but atleast you'll arrive to your destination.

Last Minute is gone. No way to tell what would happen next minute. This minute is the living one. Just enjoy this minute. I know some people get depressed. Nothing can be done. Throw away all your worries.
