Funny how last posts mocking OP are from 9th of April and then on the 10th onwards up till September there is nothing  Grin

But note that, even during that "gloomy" period, the price was always at least 2x what the OP sold at.

I'll admit I particularly enjoyed this necro because one of the posts from the first day warning not to sell was mine, and I'd completely forgotten about it.  Every single word still rings true to my ears.  Note to self: follow own advice.

I think you're severely underestimating worldwide demand for a private, portable, wealth storage/protector/diversifier/transferor outside of the banking system.  We're talking trillions.

Sure, there might be a price correction coming.  But trying to play short-term trades with something with this much potential, sounds terribly shortsighted and likely to end in regret.
What advice do you have now?

Read his post again, he thinks the advice still stands today. Don't play short term fluctuations because you might end up at the wrong side of the trade, long term prospects are looking too good for that.

How nice is heinsight?

Buying at this level, is obvioiusly more risky however I think purchases should be less for speculation and more for the adoption of the currency. I like have my mobile bitcoin wallet with atleast 4 coins. That way I can purchase and support bitcoin accepting businesses and do my part to spread the currencies adoption.

I began using coins for relatively small purchases when the BTC/USD exchange rate was around $74. At first I felt bad about the BTC/USD exchange rate rising after every purchase, but not any longer. I simply space my purchases and enjoy whatever I buy with them. We're building an alternate economy here and Bitcoin is our currency. Currency should be more than a store of wealth IMO. Anyway, trading any crypto for fiat is a horrible idea unless you absolutely must to keep a roof over your head and bread on your table.

I sold a lot of coins at like 20$! lol!





fuck....

Me aswell, and also spent a lot in stores etc I don't feel bad about it.. Grin
Anyway, just the people who trust completely in Bitcoins are still hoarding at 236$.. most of us I suppose started selling from the 50-70$ range or even at lower prices.

I sold a nice chunk of my bitcoins recently.  The reason I did this stems from my thinking that bitcoins @  27-28 are way overpriced and I wanted to cashout before it crashes.
