Bitcoin

I'm guessing most of you don't keep an eye on the bitcoin rate unless your ordering something. But right now it's down over $300 from last week. Would be a good time to buy or at least keep an eye on if your planning on needing some in the near future. I'm not making any promises that it won't drop further down, which could make you loose money. Just trying to help those that don't understand it as well.

I try to think of it like the stock market. U want to buy low and sell when it's high. Or in our case here buy when it's low and use it to make gear purchase when it's high. Last month I bought in when it was around 2300.00 and later that month it was up to almost 3000. Ended up making almost 400. It paid for my entire gh order.

But just like the stock market did it could crash and u could end up loosing a lot of money...just have to keep an eye on it. If u use coinbase app, u can set alarms for when it reaches above or below specific dollar amounts so u don't have to watch it constantly.

**DISCLAIMER**
I am NOT a financial planner nor anything even in that field. U take my advice at ur own risk.

I'm still not exactly sure what drives the price of BTC?

Pretty much like stock market. The more people buy the higher it's value goes. The more that sell the lower it goes. So u'll see a trend where it gets to a low value and everyone buys and its price shoots up. Then they sell and it'll drop back down.

Another trend u can notice is when BTC is down ETH and LT will usually be up.

I've lost almost $100 the last 2 weeks. Everytime I buy low it goes lower lol same with eth also

 

[RThoads]

i have lost about $400 the last 4 days....
Fucking pissed. needed some coin, bought coin and it just started falling, bought more to have enough and it fell more etc...

At this point things are on hold for me as I can not dump anything more into it. So now I guess i just wait

 

[Robfromga]

I wouldn't gamble at this point. There have been some heavy losses recently. Unless you time it perfect and ride the top up. Id say it's hit it's peak and it's going to fluctuate but trend down for a bit. Buy em when you need em and don't hold money in it.

There is something huge coming up for Bitcoin August 1st... Lots of people cashing out and holding there investment.... Get ready for it to go down even more these next few weeks but after August it should skyrocket hitting 5k by the end of the year..... Really depends what happen on August 1st though.....

Just hold for now... Don't look at your acct for the next month or you might shit your pants.... And don't panick and sell at a loss... Wait it out

Here are a few links to help those understand what @Dema is referring to. Please read up on this. From just kind of skimming through the articles it seems like there is a chance of possibly loosing some or all of ur bitcoin. I know it's a lot of reading but this is ur money and its best to have all information available.

Bitcoin at rest should be safe.... If you are holding Bitcoin put it in cold storage... I'm making the gamble and switching my Bitcoin and putting them into Alts. And holding on to those for now....

And as soon as I made back my initial purchase which was today I sold and it just kept climbing lol. To volatile to have my hard earned money in there right now.

 

[Dema]

It's only going up from here 3,4,5 grand is going to be dirt cheap compared to a few years down the road

I'm glad u at least got ur original investment back. I'm not going to lie I was sweating it last week when it dropped that low and seemed like it was only going lower.

I wish I knew enough about that to feel comfortable putting some money into it
