Buy and sell bitcoins,
Well, obviously now that it's near $660, I wish I bought (more) at $540. I wish I bought (more) at $470 too. I was too scared to buy in the $300s -- really wish I had the balls to stick my bids in when we were down there.

The recent price just has me kicking myself for not buying in. Add in the fact you can now trade bitcoins on your iPhone and it's just hurts.

Also, who think it's weird that bitcoins top out at $600-650 or thereabouts. I think a lot of people got burned buying at $600-1000 during that big boom, and are cashing out as soon as they break even.

Thoughts?

I wish I never sold the Bitcoin I bought at $460 for $520, in anticipation of the 'correction'.........which I am still waiting on.

We already had a correction from 680 to 630... Now I think prices can go to 700s in the next 1-2 weeks.

We'll probably soon be saying 'wish I'd bought in when they were only in the hundreds rather than the thousands'.

When bitcoin reaches $5,000+ is it really going to matter if you bought in at $540 or $640?

People say this a lot, whilst I appreciate the real issue is that you just need to make sure you buy in, the difference between investing 1k at 540 or 640 if it goes to 5k is

$7812 vs $9259

So it kind of matters a bit. Just not as much as it matters if you bought nothing!

having said that... never wait for the bottom, when you can buy today Smiley

I had bought a few coins when they were going at $10 apiece. Paid a 20% premium as well (localbitcoins). Spent some $48 in total, to purchase 4 coins. Hmmm.... what would have happened if I had bought coins for $4,800 instead of $48?  Angry

Yeah me too but buying at that time , there was a sentiment of like wasting your money literally, like if you were buying a videogame currency, so i think only the people who already had alot of money were able to purchase btcs in bulk

I regret not buying more before the recent spike. My coins are in cold storage and will stay there for some time.

I have an itch to spend some BTC, but I'll be paying a couple hundred more per coin than my average buy.

Yeah, should've bought more.

I like your username and welcome to the club ^_^
Since April 2014 anyways if you can resist the urge until your in the green then you will be richer later at least we can hope Smiley

And yah the average buy is getting higher now.

DOes he still go on the foruns the pizza guy ?
Here's the original thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pizza-for-bitcoins-137
laszlo's last login date on bitcointalk is April 13th this year btw.
Also, if my memory serves right, I think he had well over 10k btc at the time. So spending 10k in that day for a couple of pizzas wasn't such a crazy thing Smiley.

mining is so 2012-2013
When it hit $360 for that brief moment a month or so ago, I went into a panic. I actually got scared that it would tank down to $200 or less. So at first I got scared, (didn't sell of course), and then I thought "eh, I'll wait until it hits 2 and then buy."

Now I'm kicking myself I didn't buy at $360. Really kicking myself.


I did the exact same thing.  I was just waiting for it to go lower to 200 and then I was going to be 5!

I don't really speculate like crazy like some people do, I'm going to trade with it as an actual currency and sell stuff for it.

We all should.

Just buy every month a little amount without looking at the price, hold them and never sell for 5 years, then enjoy your richness.
Wise words. It may not even take five years, massive adoption could happen very suddenly, possibly as soon as 2-3 years.

That would be a great day to say yay

Forget about it's price in dollars, I just wish I had a pizza when someone was willing to pay 10k BTC for it.
Just buy small amounts every month, as DolanDuck said. That's what I'm doing anyway.

I bought at $450 or so, rather wish I bought at $1 - but there was no way I could have known about bitcoin back then.
