long term its better but i think its not bad daytrading days like today with high volatility
Not if you're a beginner(!!!)
Not even if you're an expert, unless you're exceptional. These boards are littered with the bodies of day traders who thought they could out-think the market. Some of them were very, very smart with decades of investment experience, fluents in many kinds of technical analysis. I notice the buy-and-holders are still here, whereas each monthly generation of traders has come and gone.
Luckily for you, buy and hold is also the easiest strategy for the beginner, in addition to being the most profitable. We may well crash fairly soon so now is not the best time to buy, but as rpietila said if you're still accumulating it doesn't matter much. Don't be a pig, just get in.
Here's a handy
strategy guide for how to invest in Bitcoin, if you ever get stuck.
Thank you for this!

we have reached the tipping point. sell now!
Target reached. I'm selling 10% of my holdings and let the other 90% ride this for the very long run.
I did that at 119.99 and bought a car. I am now driving a car that cost more than a 5 bedroom house.
Don't sell!
that is awesome, inspiration!

well after buying 1 coin at 150, then 2 coins at 200, then selling all 3 at 205, then buying 2 more coins at 400, then selling at 450, then buying another coin at 500, then selling at 515, then giving up completely, I bought another coin at 813. I did what I said I would do before this time and printed out a cold wallet and locked it in the safe. total coins owned : 1
Maybe I'll do better this time.

LOL!!
I remember how I sold $1000 worth of coins to my best friend in January this year... I told him he couldn't afford to lose the opportunity, and he said "ok, WTF, take $1,000 and send me some of that magic internet money"...
Do you know how many coins I sold him?
BTC71
Crazy bitcoin, so crazy... And you have to know that at that time it seemed very expensive to him. He told me "come on man, can't you round it up and give me 100 coins? This is crazy, $1,000 hard earned dollars for 70 monopoly-like tokens"
I will add that Bitcoin ALWAYS feel expensive when you first buy it. But it's not.
damn, $1000 becomes 56800 in a year? wtf?

FINALLY a chart I can read
44.
Post 3712585 (copy this link) (by thetopham) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.29h):
Strong support at 790 stamp. Seems like the bid wall woke up and ate everything. Scary.
People want to buy cheap coins at 790 USD/BTC. Its 24h triple bot at stamp and 4h triple bot at china. Gox is double bot.
It's just silence before the storm.
Well, here is the deal guys. If the bears are going to win they must win big. This market is not just going to trickle down for a month. If it trickles down, it will do so until we get another wave of good news (they are coming more frequently these days) and it will pick up again northward.
So all of you hoping for $400-$500 coins better prey some big hands come in and bust resistance downward. Otherwise, $600 is probably the best you will see in this rally.
I still fully expect us to break northward this week. Everything here looks almost exactly like the chart in March.
How many days left for 1000?

Nice to be back, I did a little day trip to beautiful small mountain town called Ronda. So seems like we are going higher and rpietila still try's to talk crash here =) Well let bears be bears. Nice to see some real buying, been a bit quiet lately. When we break 1000 USD, there will be major media coverage. $999 is maybe a bit expensive while $1001 is cheap coins.
One thing rpietila said today:
"You know, we kind of decided that $900 is the cap for now".
'We decided...'?
Hmmm.... It's held so far.
