Right now its at $147 so anybody who bought it over
$175 just lost their collective asses. It was as high as
$266 today and as low as $105. The screams you heard
were the roof jumpers..

Damn. Almost started mining... not worth it now.
Now nothing to do but wait for it to bottom out.

The trick to poker is learning not to beat yourself up for your mistakes too much, and certainly not too little, but just the right amount.

Its back up to $175 but the damage has been done. Investors
will be terrified now, the horse is out of the barn. Now that they
know it can go from $266 to $105 in the space of a few hours,
the instability of Bitcoin is a glaring fact. Never a good thing for
any collectible.
Edit: Now its jumping all over the place. Was $130 5min ago,
now $154. Who knows where this will end.

This type of crash has happened twice before. This type of manipulation has little to do with real demand for the product.

It went from $31 to $2 in 2011. A lot more painful this
time.

A 15 fold loss is less painful than a 60% loss?
Really?

Dollar wise, yes. Any gambler knows that from painful
experience.
