price decrease ... but when, in 2016, the 25BTC pass to 12,5BTC ... well, well Grin

The halvings made no good to Doge. I wouldn't put any certainty about what will happens after the next halving

Doge was not in price equilibrium, and miners were typically using Doge for random things, not selling on the market to pay for mining expenses. So Doge's inflation wasn't really affecting the economy or the price. Bitcoin's inflation is affecting the economy, since about $1,800,000 worth of bitcoins are mined and sold every day. Cut that in half, and it should go up.

I agree to a point. However it should be noted that not all of the bitcoin that is mined is sold on the market. Take for example pbmining, the electric costs have essentially been prepaid for so the owners of the GHs at pbmining will not have any ongoing expenses and since the GHs were purchased for bitcoin they would be less likely to sell their bitcoin earnings (I am not endorsing pbmining, I actually think it is way overpriced but that is not the point).

FURring bitcoin up since 1762

I often thought about doing that, but investing all of my savings into it is much too risky, to be honest! But I have mu fair share of money invested, and who knows - maybe it will one day be my main mean of retirement money

Reading a story from a few years ago where someone invested all their life savings into Bitcoin and started to live off Bitcoin. that guy was a lucky guy as now the price as more than tripled to when he invested in it. Anyone else brave enough to do this?

i did. I invested 80% of my savings. Problem is that I did in wrong moment. Right now I am more or less 40% loss. I am 26 and Italian. Already posted here my story. I have even a daughter to feed. If you want to help her, contact me. Even few euros are well accepted. Thanks.

Don't you have a job to sustain yourself and your daughter with? Or were your savings the things you were living off of?

The halving in 2016 and the next halving will be very bullish for Bitcoin

Let's talk governance, lipstick, and pigs.

"The Bitcoin Halving" written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. A story about bankers mysteriously jumping off bank buildings. A ragtag group of nerds discover that Bitcoin was designed as a fatal virus by an alien called something unpronounceable but sounds like Satoshi Nakamoto. The virus only infects people greedy for fiat currency. The cure is discovered to be hodling.

But Doge is not Bitcoin. They have a different story, different market, different rate of decrease. Bitcoin is more or less fixed until the next 100 years.

You mess up with your life savings your done. If you are into this kind of "hobby" you need to think straight.

Saving in paper money is not saving, it is being a believer in a fail system

Most people do not "invest" in fiat, but rather invest in things that are denominated in fiat. For example large cap stocks generally beat inflation by 5-6 percentage points per year so the purchasing power will grow over time.

But one effectively is invested in the FIAT the stock or whatever is denominated in. And one is invested in FIAT if you're just holding FIAT. Even though the price swings are marginal (at least compared to Bitcoin), they do exist!

i have 90% in bitcoin now... and 10% at bank (sorry, daily bills ...)
i'm not stupid to let freeze my life economies by a law of december 2013 that tit allow bankster to take my money...

It may be wise to hedge some more and keep more in FIAT, ready on an exchange, to buy more if there should be a nother big drop! But make up you own mind! And please don't put in loaned money. 90% is already a very strong exposure!
