My Bitcoins are on paper wallet, covered with plastic bags and will stay there for a looong time...
Daily fluctuations are too stressfull to monitor beside the fact that is horribly time consuming exercise.

Since some months, posts with "CCMFs" and train pictures seems to be the forces that wake bears from hibernation. Then Bears dump some coins, come back to sleep until market recovers until the first signals of CCMFs posts.

Probably miners are dumping newly generated coins and "old guys" like us are either full in; or - as in my case - on the limit of the strategy "do not risk more that you can afford to loose". After converting 10% of my life's savings into Bitcoin, I am now hesitating as hell to convert even more Fiat into BTC. And believe me, I lost a hell of money in the process of believing in the technology. Unfortunately I came into the game on Dec/2013.
What we need is something that turns Bitcoin trxs as easy for general audience as email sending. It cannot be that whole new herds of users are forced to go through bottlenecks as the handfull (if so) number of classic exchanges located in non-sexy places.
The reason why I am a full Hodler and still following the daily news about it, is surely the innovation of technology + the bet that soon or later, the WKV twins will succeed to launch their ETF.
When people can start to invest using classic channels and a cell phone call, then we will have the required number of wealthy users, I think.

Because I cannot afford to loose more than the money I already lost and have already invested on it.

Then don't buy. Sucks that you went all-in at the top of the bubble, but i would have done the same if i had liquid funds back then.
Correct... I was liquid as hell when the bubble reached mainstream last year. For me was easy to commit. My strategy is to ensure that my cold wallets are safe and follow the news for the next 3~4 years.
If, and only if, Proce is consistently growing in the way I find it's sustainable (like ETF) then I am going to double my position.

I am waiting until we are back to 600 bucks before starting to be optimistic again.
Until there, just recovering, no real reason to celebrate...

...what bitcoin needs is a hot market place where poeple are using bitcoin as a medium of exchange in a P2P manner, without middlemen taking a cut etc. etc.. as it was indented. this will gr8ly improve confidence, and joe blow will have more faith in the system as a whole.
Sounds like SR...

Itīs the second time this week that we see announcements of Fusion Energy coming sooner as expected.
Thereīs an interesting paper about effects of almost-free energy on world economy

Hoarding is simply the same as saving. Savings are what makes capitalism a viable economic model. Inflation is a stealth tax from those who have last use of new money (the poor, middle class) to the pockets of those who have first use of new money (the banks, wealthy, government).
It is not quite so simple. Standard economists worry that if inflation becomes too low (or if there is deflation), incentive to hoard increases and incentive to invest drops, which could lead to negative growth, the bęte noire of capitalism.
Agree... On the other hand, negative growth is in fact what we desperately need to reduce the consumption of resources and reduce of polution and waste on planet earth.

An irresponsible bet: Nick Swabo assumes that he is actually Satoshi, announces the destruction of 90% of his private keys (or share with Miners in a long term scenario). Take the Leadership of Development team and proposes a fork in the BTC protocol to solve the main issues, promptly accepted by the communitty.

IMHO, people and investors are not simply sitting on uninvested money waiting for the next opoortunity.
To invest on Bitcoin, most of them need to divest something and wire it to exchanges. It takes time.
Remeber that stock exchanges and banks are not open 24/7. I think the main impact regarding new FIAT investments occurs more than 24 hours after the the event.

Why not? A better question is "why?" In uncertain times, why would you hedge with an asset that's, basically, the definition of volatility?
Statistics
If the question "Why" is thought too many times, some of the answers & decisions will be YES, I take the risk for part of my capital.

"Statistics"? Show me the data, and your money. Until then, it's just hand-waving, not statistics.
Let me gently remember you the fact that we are in a speculation thread.

Allow me to return the favor by humbly suggesting that "statistics" means hard data, not speculative musings.

No. I can infere that, if a new event occurs, many different people will be asked to reevaluate their investment decisions. Independently of evidences, itīs legit to speculate that a percentage (can be indeed very small group) of those decisions will at the end be in favor of Bitcoin. Talking about several hundreds billions of EUR in the clasic markets (actually is more, much more), 1 or 2 billion EUR moving into the ecosystem is enough to put pressure on demand.
Itīs like use common sense to infere that if I roll the dice 20 times, itīs expected to have at least 1 match for a random number picked by you.
