    Bitcoin - buy or sell?

    Hi!

    So its going up and down between 600-700$/btc.. wtf, it should be more volatile then that.. sold a little at 700$ so I don't know what to do now.. or look for other alt coins?

    Buy coins and put it in bitfinex and do some margin trading to take advantage of price swings.

      I've used bitstamp, but the problem is that, the swing is pretty low.. mainly from 630 to 670 or so..

        I'm not going to stress anymore. If below $600 I'll always buy. Otherwise no need to constantly check the value, I plan to hold for a long long time

          Buy an scrypt ASIC and mine altcoins. They're about $250-$280 right now and will mine at 0.4MH/s, drawing fuck all electricity (compared to a GPU). If you choose the right mix of altcoins, you can pay back your purchase price within about 90 days, and if you choose to speculate with ones that aren't yet listed on exchanges you could be lucky and have one break out (throw various pieces of shit at the wall, and hope some sticks.)

            .4 is fuck all, that's about $50/month so would take 5-6 months to break even in the best case scenario.... but since difficulty will likely rise significantly in that time frame, realistically you are looking at more like 10-12 months to get your investment back and by that time the difficulty will likely be so high that the hardware will be worthless...

                you are only basing that on BC alone though, he mentioned alt coins. It's more speculative, sure, but far from the worst idea i've heard on the subject.

                  I'm not basing it on btc... mining established alt coins with that hardware will earn about $50/month... unless you mine some really obscure one and happen to get lucky... but then it's no longer a business/investment, it's more like gambling..

                    then it's maybe better to buy up some alt coins for a few hundred total and see maybe one rises like btc

                      He's talking about high frequency trading of alt coins with your bitcoins.

                      If you are selling BTC right now you will be sorry in less than a year. Wallstreet is getting involved in a big way. Price will soar soon.

                        Where are you getting scrypt ASICs from. All I have seen are vapourware

                            You're probably thinking of BTC and its ever increasing difficulty.

                            There's a new scrypt altcoin (shitcoin) released pretty much every day. If you choose the right ones, they are profitable. You don't need to think about difficulty in 6 months because you will have moved onto another new coin long before then.

                            BTW, if you're only making $4 per megahash per day with scrypt you're not doing it right.

                              $50 a month mining bitcoin?

                              What planet are you people living on, if you join a good pool you can make much more than that, we're at Slush's pool mining and we're clearing almost $350 a month at the moment, before difficulty increased we were clearing over $450.

                              That's running several ASICs with a combined hashing power of roughly 50-60mhs.

                              Yes, the time it takes to break a block is increasing dramatically, but if you work smart about it, you can still make a good chunk of change.

                              There are also other coins we can mine with these ASICs once BTC difficulty surpasses the point of diminished return.

                                    Dump it for whatever you can get for them and chalk it up for retardation.

                                    Bitcoins will be like "huh? wtf is that" inside of 18 months.

                                      So 18 months, means September 14th, 2015? Want to stand behind your words and place a bet?

                                      If bitcoin is under $500 at that time, I pay you $100

                                      If bitcoin is over $500 at that time, you pay me $100

                                      Simple, small, but fun little bet

                                        We're stuck here until there's news. Most alts are suffering as well. Will we get good news or bad?

                                        If you've played it right, you're sitting on 'house' money so no worries.

                                            I'd dump it and move on. If you're just into investing, there are plenty of things to put your money into that arent based on videocards solving math problems.

                                                  That would be telling. ;)

                                                  There's one I'm mining now that is getting me around 0.011 BTC per MH per day, but that's just from a quick hunt. I'm sure there's better. I'm working on automating the whole process, which will be able to choose the best coin to mine.

                                                  Big multipools can't jump on the obscure coins because they'd absolutely obliterate them - some of the coins I mine have very low exchange volume - but there's nothing stopping a smaller miner from switching around...

                                                      Bitcoin has too many things going for it to hit rock bottom that soon. I am thinking about 3 years from now but I think it will be a close bet in 18 months for either one. 3 years from now I would bet 10K it is under. 12 months from now I would bet it is over 1K

                                                                Only 4 months later - how things change. These days you'd be lucky to make $1 per scrypt megahash. But of course the overall cost of hashing is much lower. With the amount I've paid for about 3.5MH/s worth of ASIC power between about February and May this year I could now buy 25MH/s+. There are now 500MH/s units available.
