if shipping wasnt so expensive to you id send them all up there and hope that the mining would pay for the shipping costs lol

I'm looking at about $40-50 a month now roughly with the whole farm, assuming things get no worse. 52mhs on x11. 6 Tahitis (soon to be 5 - my Gigabyte 7950 needs an RMA soon), 4 Pitcairns, and the HD7770. Considering that I can only hold 2 more cards without buying another motherboard, CPU, and RAM; I'm really not that interested in being responsible for other peoples' hardware.
 
Probably in part because of this:

Nobody is quite sure what they are going to announce, some are imagining another exchange for btc. Others think LTC integration. We'll see in about an hour.
 
lolololol.

apparently it isn't LTC integration per what Charlie Lee said on facebook.
 
Disregard fake news, they are hyping btc so they can unload their holdings.
The main trend is down, it'll hit 86usd by April.

This is a prediction based on my analysis of the past 16 days of data.

BTC will go to 527 or maybe 555usd before eventually dropping again to 400+-25usd in the coming days. This process would take at least 10 to 20 days.

After that we will see a huge price increase, since instutional money will jump in on the long side then.

Ivan, you're a nice guy, and you've put a lot of work into crypto.

But your predictions are all over the place and not reliable.
 
I disagree...feel free to check out my work: https://www.tradingview.com/u/IvanLabrie/

Indeed, we can see a rebound to 320-461 if my target of 86 isn't reached by April.
But for now, don't buy or hold BTC if you can.

sorry but that's like saying: "it may rain, but if it doesn't, it will be sunny, then it may rain or not"

id just hold tbh, lost so much already, may as well take the risk
 
@klear: If you held all the way down, you've already lost money. Selling now is a way to reduce your losses, and lets you buy back at more attractive prices like the proposed 86 to 124usd target range I think BTC will go to now.

@ZL1: No, it's not.
the most probable scenario is Bitcoin will fall first. No one will buy and push price up above 320 for the time being.
The decline will probably reach 124 and even 86usd, before there is ANY kind of major reversal possibility.
The timeframe is 5 quarters of downtrend, IF price doesn't retest 461usd during Q1 2015. That's the time element, specifics of how price will move in that period would have to be detailed, and it's not worth it. There is a barrier at 300-320, which made price rebound down recently, the next major one is at 461.
Going down, we got 150,124 and then 86, price will slow down around these, or rebound, but the strongest level is the area between 86 and 124. Buying back in there, after selling now will net you a % gain, which is rather good.

Please, click the links I posted. I have outlined specific criteria and targets in all my trades, and have made money from these methods, I'm not guessing mate, I did the work, was trained by a top trader and hedge fund manager, and am just trying to pass along some of this knowledge to my friends here, to avoid them financial losses.

I don't have the brains to trade effectively, I don't agree that I've lost money for any reason except hindsight.. I can't predict where the price is going so I am going to follow the advice of the true bitcoin believer and just hold.

ivan you've got to fix the double post thing!
 
Sorry, have no idea what that is and no time to reinstall Windows for now.
I don't trade using hindsight btw.
But, good luck either way.

lets take a trip down down memory lane...



It was only a joke...the previous run up to 1000 was artificial, this time it'll get to 650 in a couple of days, and rebound, then it might go back to 1000 again and maybe surpass that mark.

5/30/2014 - price was nearly 650 when you "predicted" it. 1000 rebound never happened.

I reccomended a friend to do so...he's really happy heh :p

Good time to buy now, since it'll rebound back into the 700 range probably, say in a couple of days.

6/04/2014 - price dropped off shortly after this, then short recovery back where it was in the 650 range, never saw anything 700+

eBay / PayPal announcement, expect 1.2k soon

6/05/2014 - never happened.

today it bounded violently off a strong support zone, don't think it's going below 600 anytime soon.

6/12/2014 - hit a low ~550 shortly after this, was stuck below 600 a month later

This is a prediction based on my analysis of the past 16 days of data.

BTC will go to 527 or maybe 555usd before eventually dropping again to 400+-25usd in the coming days. This process would take at least 10 to 20 days.

After that we will see a huge price increase, since instutional money will jump in on the long side then.

8/29/2014 - price was below 350 a month later, "huge price increase" never happened.

Wait for the double bottom.
It'll painfully and slowly go to 400-440 now, then back down swiftly to 266-286.
After that happens and everyone and their mother panics and sells, it'll start going up fast to hit higher highs than the 1200 ATH.

10/07/2014 - it actually quickly went up then slowly went down, opposite of what you said. then another spike and slow decline over the next 2-3 months. again with the 1000+ predictions that never materialize.


take any investment advice with a truckload of salt, no matter how confident they seem. :rolleyes:

Indeed. I look at it this way: cryptocurrency is still so young and volatile, there's really no point to trying to predict what it's going to do right now past a day or two. I tend to follow my instincts with this stuff... when Ivan told me to sell my mining farm, I didn't do it. I had a feeling at that point I'd still need it, and I was right.

That said... I have learned a lot from Ivan, too. Thanks mainly to his advice, I've more than quadrupled my XMR holdings. Just little conservative trades here and there over the past 2 months plus the income from the mining farm really added up. Some days my trading income per day is only 1-2 XMR, if I make any at all. Again, it's advice from Ivan mostly responsible for that.

My personal strategy right now is just day trading... nothing long term at all. Grabbing little bits of profit where I see the opportunity, not trying to hold out for any massive profits at any one time because that much risk more often than not makes me lose money, and that's been working for me for a while now. Today I sold a quarter of my XMR, bought XRP at the bottom, and profited off the XRP rebound. Later today I'll buy back into XMR, when/if it drops some more, and hopefully make 2x what the mining farm brings in alone.

As for BTC - not holding any long term. It's XMR I'm getting behind. Seems as good a coin as any. Holding a few others, but not in large numbers.

Ouch guys....

I might've been able to phrase my own response better. In general, I've learned a ton from Ivan I'm not sure I could have picked up any other way, and I'm very grateful for that.

I just think crypto is too volatile for anybody to predict successfully over the long haul, no matter who they are, so I don't worry about the long term too much. I don't have ROI to make, power's still included in rent, so I might as well keep going with this and see what happens, even if all this ends up being totally worthless in the end.

Though I suppose I should think about shutting the farm down soon. At some point I'm just wearing video cards out for too little benefit. After I get far enough with my XMR holdings, I should be able to just get by on trading only. Just not sure where to draw that line just yet. The farm's pulling in about 6-7 XMR a day right now... too much for me to shut it down just yet.

Edit - and just for opening my big yap, I missed the XMR pump of the day. Ah well... it happens.
