Topic: Why the hell are people still selling at these prices? - page 2. (Read 4023 times)
people are getting scared and selling incase the price drops even more but in doing that they drop the price more. perfect time to buy some bitcoin
You can think it's cheap but others think it's expensive. That's how markets work. If everybody think same the price will be either zero or infinite.
People are selling because they are impulsive.
Here, I wrote a short story about it
Mr Impulsive hears about bitcoin and he thinks it could be the next big thing. So he runs to the bank and takes out all his money and puts into bitcoin. Then Mr Impulsive feels good, because he had the FOMO. He was going to miss out on bitcoin, but luckily he was able to buy a large lump sum all at once "just in time". Mr Impulsive feels so good he goes online and takes a screenshot of his new coinbase account and posts on reddit that he has made it to the one in a million club.
A few weeks later there's a sharp decline in market value for bitcoin, it went from $270 to $230 overnight. Mr Impulsive is scared, since he put his savings into bitcoin and he can't afford to lose it all. Mr Impulsive goes back to reddit and reads about the fork. He doesn't understand it, but he decides to launch an XT node, because XT = moon, of course
, and this will save his large investment.
Another week passes and we are here with prices below $200 or hovering just above. Mr Impulsive has seen that his bitcoin investment of nearly $6,000 is now worth in the low $4,000. He is scared, bitcoin must be dying, he can't afford to lose that money. So he sells, "cutting his loses". He thinks,
"whew, at least I didn't lose all my money... bitcoin, what a scam". Coinbase is pleased to count Mr Impulsive's account as one of their 4 million "bitcoin users".

This is good. You get people!
IMO, the post-BTC-bubble decline is not completely over. We are still currently well above the pre-bubble prices : ~$100.
The landscape is rather different compared to early 2013. There's enough extra action going on to justify a slightly higher price, not that fundamentals count for anything.
Why they are still selling a these prices? Good question.. Perhaps most of them bought BTC when it was between $800-$1000 and they prefer to sell before it's too late.

I sold at $285, bought back in at $213
Most people sell when the market crashes, it's mostly a psychological thing that happens to the sellers. The ones that hold and buy know what they redoing and how they will profit from this crash.
because any man needs money man...they try to do some money i think..

This has some truth to it. Not sure if it's what you meant, but if you are buying stuff online with Bitcoin and the price is down, you're spending more Bitcoin to buy the stuff and the merchant is probably cashing out. So purchasing with Bitcoin when the price is down contributes to the snowball effect too.
IMO people have always sold their bitcoins because they were scared. whenever some new thing happens that scares them, they start dumping to prevent further losses so the price goes (more) down and then it causes a chain reaction so more people will sell and it goes further down.
the only thing that don't lets the price to fall so much is the rest of the market who seized this opportunity to buy at cheep prices, and the rest who don't want to sell at these prices and keep hodling at any cost

I wonder sometimes if people care to look at the wider market scene before they panic like this. Could it be that this is their only investment, and they do not look at other markets and commodities?
The global markets saw a sharp decline, when the manufacturing statistics in China was released and they reacted on that.. It's no big surprise that the investors in speculative commodities would follow suit.
Bitcoin is a highly volatile commodity and it would react to small global influences like this, in the same way as any other commodity will do, in reaction to those figures.
Stay in there, it's going to get much worst before it gets much better soon.

There are some people selling because they are confused and they are losing confidence. There are also some traders that are shorting as they expect to rebuy lower and increase their stash. All of this is a vicious cycle at the moment.
If anything positive from this situation, every time a major sell happens, we rebound strong. At least this show that people are considering Bitcoin to be a good grab at around $190-$200. Now lets just wait and see how long will these bounces last.

The basic principle is that take what ever you can ...and i guess that is what people are doin right now as they are thinking that XT will destroy everything and others who were positive about bitcoins are afraid after seeing a 80$ decrease ...
what else to expect.
what else to expect.
Most of the times that the people sell when the price go down is the panic. They have fear to lose that few bitcoin that have in their wallet and want to sell to earn that can be earned from the lowered price. But according to me they act wrong. In this way they lost. The price of bitcoin is well known that go up and down very often. So the last move of it if it is down will be up. Its needed only a little patience. And experience.
apparently dev found a way to kill bitcoin, and it was so simple, create a good community split, it will go down even further, but it should not touch something crazy like 100
i think there is a selling presure done on purpose here everyone know that it will tank and thus they are selling, if it crash too hard new early adopters will emerge, not really a good thing...

What is bad about new early adopters? Isn't any new adopter a good thing? Every new person involved is one more over the fence of bitcoin!
the bad thing is bad distribution, this mean that bitcoin can not really skyrocket
