My worst decision was to buy on the top in January 2014.

I bought in January 2014 too, but that was not a mistake since it's a tactics of mine to buy over a longer period, I also got some at 420$ recently, because I buy every month, no matter what.

Ate you buying a set btc or dollar amount every month, or does it vary?

There are lots of alts with fine features and noble intentions. Unfortunately the worthwhile ones are just as primed for pumping and stranging by those looking for more BTC as the blatant scams are.

"Other" coins are on down trend as they are not real coins, only scams to get more Bitcoin. As far as Bitcoin goes, look at graphs...it's on nice slow up trend.

Other coins are just as real as bitcoin. Being first doesn't have any special magical power to make something more or less real. Alt coins also offer many benefits bitcoin does not. And they can be a testing ground for new things. Calling alt coins scams is completely misguided.

In other words, we are all still early adopters. Cool

Bitcoin and all other coins have been in a downtrend for months IMO.

I like this up trend.
No, they are not scams. Some of them are way better than BTC feature wise.

Yes, form mid april is up trend. Do you think that up trends need to have walls of 90 degreees? Slow, 10% up trend is still up trend, and is much healthyer than what happened in december last year.

My biggest mistake was being late to the btc train, got in way too late.

If it doesn't go way higher you just missed a bubble and if it will succeed you are early

Selling 90% of my holdings at $30 after buying in at $2. I have always supported Bitcoin, but I really needed the USD cash at the time. I would have been completely broke otherwise. Now I wish I had begged on the street or worked at McD's or slept on a friend's couch... anything but selling. Oh well, there will be other opportunities.

Damn well you did sell at a Peak but that would be a sucky decision since holding a few more years would have netted a giant amount of income

Lets see I guess besides holding onto AM from the near high range it would be moving some of my funds to Basic Mining shares on Btct assuming that dividends would be recieved after it closed then having the issuer just poof away.

People felt very smart and were very happy to sell @ 1$ 10$ 30$ 100$ 300$ and people feel very smart to have sold @ 1000$ but they would have fair better holding their bitcoins except if they bought back way lower after

Don't trust in Bitcoin when it was about 5 - 10 bucks each and invest in BBQ coins right before those dropped almost to nothing Cry

But we learn by mistakes, only low-IQ people make a mistake twice, now i'm prepared for anything Cool

Ouch on this one...what made you think that BBQ had a lot of upside potential? I never really researched at all about this coin...

It (was) tasty, allegedly.

HAHA, altcoins are funny but let's face it most people who bought some lost bitcoins

I wish someone calculated your expected ROI in Bitcoin if you bought the 10biggest altcoins every Month for the last year or the 10 coins that are increasing the most in popularity

My worst decision was to buy on the top in January 2014.

Even though the numbers are bigger the percentage drop wasn't that much. When I got in Bitcoin was about $17 and 6 months later (Jan 2012) it was $2, so $900->$600 isn't too bad. It will recover.

in April 2013 it went down more as well, I think there is a lot of support @ various level of price, a lot of new buyers and new money, a lot of positive news and we are sadly close to a financial meltdown in the US and Europe
