      Seriously, WTF?

      FTC dropped around 25%, LTC 22%, BTC 17%

      This is simply a correction, not some bubble bursting or something like that…

      I for one, believe in crypto, and so, I invested 2.5K in BTC, another grand in LTC, and I mean to convert half a BTC into FTC.

      Get your friends mining again.

      And all you multi-poolers, stop that, and switch over to FTC pools.

            These panic-people cost me 500 ftc if I would have waited just 24h. So damn they!

              This is all good for people Long in crypto.

              Buy when people panic, sell when people push at each other to get a piece of the action.

                Oh trust me I’m buying every time the price loses 100 dollars. So far, it’s paid off REAL well.

                  I’ll be more inclined to buy from people when I can do it via something other than signing away my bank accounts [going to look into that stuff you suggested when I get home later].

                      Who’s panicking? I just bought a BTC worth of Feathercoin a couple of hours ago.

                      I think all of us were saying “don’t get too excited” when it was shock jumping between a $1-$2. It’s simply settling into an actual value until more use and services can push it’s value again.

                        Major fluctuations typically happen from “fad” investors who see something going up and drive it higher. As the fad investors who got to the party early start to sell for their quick profit everyone else who invested on a whim panics, leaving the early adopters and a small minority of new longs. . .It happens in every type of market.

                          Yup. People saw things on the news and thought Quick Riches! The gold rush floated all boats. But its not easy, and it requires a certain amount of dedication so cryptocurrencies drop as those people flush back out. I myself have though about it for a long time, but it seemed too involved for me to be able to try a cryptocurrency. (I rarely do anything like that casually) So I had to wait until I had a lull, which happened to be now.

                          The people who wanted to strike it rich are panicking because there are no good get rich quick schemes.

                              It’s the “post-litecoin-madness-comedown” syndrome. It’s everywhere. Check every forum. They’re just missing the excitement of last week. Someone somewhere made a million last week… AND IT WASN’T THEM!!!

                                  I’ve been told I make an excellend drama queen when the need arises. I could lead the horde.

                                  OH MY GODDDDDDDD!!! WE’RE ALL GONNA LOSE OUT MONEY IN THIS PYRAMID SCHEME.

                                  Wait…should have started a new thread. Darnit. This is why I’m not in charge of the panicked hordes.

                                      Panicking? This is a zero-sum game, when someone cashes out with profit they’re in effect running with other people’s money.

                                      I would call is pure natural. If you were shorting on bitfinex you would have a lot of fun right now though :P

                                      How exactly do you short Bitcoins? That never made sense to me.

                                      You purchase a securities contract. Say it’s a future, a put option, whatever. To do so, you had to pay with BTC. I know for a fact none of these exchanges accept USD. Which means you had to purchase BTC with another currency… the one your shorting against usually.

                                      So you buy your contract, and the price goes down, and you get out more BTC than you put in. But now that BTC is worth less, so you convert it back to USD at a lower exchange rate… and my head explodes.

                                      Isn’t the best way to short BTC just to sell it, and buy it back later?

                                        The only people panicking are the little people in the game. This is definitely a situation of controlled manipulation by major Crypto holders to increase their profits long term. Pretty simple philosophy buy low and sell high. If you have a ridiculous amount of Crypto currency and the market is stable what do you do? Destabilize it and play your cards right ;)

                                            I wouldn’t be surprised honestly and whoever is behind that transaction if they buy back in now will turn a hefty profit as the market is sure to recover.
