    Currently selling at almost 50% off. On 14th April 1 BTC was just over 54000, now at the time of writing 1 BTC = 30,000EUR. Available across multiple exchanges Binance, Coinbase, Kraken.

    Important: you can buy a part of a bitcoin if a whole one is too much.

    Not a bargain alert. It's an environmental disaster; is being used to create a ransomware industry that is directly impacting the Irish nation, and requires a fresh input of new money to keep the price up. That's why bagholders always shill.

    It also took a fairly big drop in price this week so bargain I don't know.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    Thank you OP, as a reminder of why I don't venture into Bitcoin!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 Boscocss


    I thought my nephew was a fool for buying the last top at around $20,000 and i figured he would never see that money again. And here we are three/four years later as BTC topped out at over $60,000 and now selling at 30,000.

    Anyway maybe i'll make my 6th post in 4/5 years from now and see where it's all at :)

    Not much if it halves in value again over the next few months. China are cracking down on bitcoin. Hence the massive fall in price


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,484 ✭✭✭Peintre Celebre


    On what planet can this be a bargain alert? Its like saying the dollar today is X, buy it it was X+50% last week.

    Sure it could be worth half again next week.

    And it could be worth half that again the following week!

    I haven't been following things really closely, can I trade in Bitcoin to buy Dogecoin at GameStop?

    You may as well buy penny stocks.


  • Posts: 596 [Deleted User]


    I'll wait for it to hit 10,000


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,817 ✭✭✭Darc19


    I'll wait for it to hit 10,000

    The final reduction "at least 95%" off sale will give you better value, but like many Aldi middle aisle items, it will still just end up as useless junk :D

    Lots of FUD being peddled these days in the main stream media to drive the price of BTC down!

    So all the people who bought in at 60k just lost half their savings lol.

    That sad, but funny too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,817 ✭✭✭Darc19


    should be in the rip-off thread - still 4 times the price it was in Sept


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭Nabber


    Everything cyrpto was supposed to be against it has become.

    Fees are ridiculous on some coins, transactions slow and limited.
    Environmental disaster as well.

    Anyway you look at it, Crypto currently is just get rich scam. Wit no practical application. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,110 ✭✭✭✭cnocbui


    This has happened before. Anyone who bought at higher than the current price should chill, put their feet up and wait.

    That's a lesson to why you buy in the dip, not when it's at an all time high

    So the value of Bitcoin has collapsed recently and you think this is some kind of special offer?

    Can I interest you in some Delorean shares?

    This isn't a crash, it's market manipulation to convince people to sell so others can buy cheaper. Just look at who's going all in!

    Oh, well that's all right then, nice and easy to manipulate the price, that's even more reassuring, a sound investment so . . . no one will be able to make a fortuning shorting that market when it suits them . .lol.

    Please take my money, where do I sign up ?

    It's up to you, plenty of money to be made as long as you're smart enough to take profits when they're there and buy in the dips.

    Dipped my toe in the crypto currency recently for the first time, see what the fuss was about. Bought €1k of ETH. Last time I looked on Revolut, my "investment" was sitting around the €680 area.

    Think it was last Wednesday evening, I bought the ETH, so not even a week ago. Hopefully it'll start heading in the opposite direction soon.

    I bought mine at 400 last year :p

    That doesn't mean you make a bad investment, just sit on it, you'll be well in the green by the end of the year

  • Registered Users Posts: 450 ✭✭StonedRaider


    If you see the bandwagon... it's too late

    With ETH quick in, quick out. Bought @ €1900 back in March, sold on under 4 weeks later @ €3800

    Bought a few bitcoin back in 2016 at around €300+ each. A guy even paid me in bitcoin for a bicycle I was selling. Sold off this year before mr.tesla got in :( would have made €30k more if only I waited. Traded a little for the cheaper $hitcoins just to see where they'd end up in 12-18months

    Shorting the best performing asset every year for the last 10 years? What could go wrong?

    Straight from the "the Irish property market will never collapse, sure look it's increased constantly for the past twenty years" mantra circa 2007. Us old timers have seen this movie before.

    At least with property you're buying something of tangible long term value and it (eventually) recovers.

    Bitcoin, on the other hand, hmmm....but you're young, you'll learn...I hope.

    I wouldn't say that. I'm of the belief that the apparent emotional attachment Bitcoiners develop to their favoured asset class is a bit weird.

    You can't actually shag Bitcoin, as far as I'm aware.


  • Posts: 3,801 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]

    Because only professional investors get involved in Bitcoin?

    Bitcoin is going to zero eventually. Western governments will eventually do what the Chinese have done.

    I suppose that might kill the short market as well though.
