(Reuters) - After several weeks of trading in narrow ranges, bitcoin breached $10,000 on Sunday for the first time since early June.

 

In addition to suffering pricing blows due to the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak, the virtual currency went through its third so-called halving on May 11, which cut the rewards given to those who "mine" bitcoin to 6.25 new coins from 12.5.

 

The "halving" has affected the supply side of bitcoin and increased the time needed for miners to find their break-even point.

 

On Sunday, the cryptocurrency hit highs of $10,200.

Wow first time in what, 8 weeks, such an achievement ????

So, just over half the price it was back in December 2017.  What an amazing investment.

all in now!!! new highs coming, the run has startet 

And to think that John McAfee, three years ago, bet it would $500,000 by now.  I won't be tuning in to see him eat his penis on live television.

$11.124 on bitcointicker just now.

 

Sold some Indextrackers 4 weeks after the halving because they seemed to stagnate.

 

Decisions. decisions what to do?

The people who bought the big dip, several months ago at 4,000,  are doing good now.  Everything is timing(Luck)...

 

!00,000 USD within the next 5 months.

Promise?

looks good to me. I wasnt expecting to be able to retire when I invested in bitcoin but Ive already spent more then my original investment and still have enough to live comfortably for the rest of my life and beyond. guess people have different ideas of what a good investment is

It just dropped over 1000USD but will probably be back up above 12k by Monday!

And it could be $8k by Friday. Bitcoin is educated gambling. And no matter which direction it goes, some people are going to make fortunes off it, while others are going to lose fortunes.

Back to $8500 and banned in Russia.

Of course we all know that everyone on this forum buys at the dips and sells at the tops only.

 

But if you bought at 4000, you beat everyone, because the lowest it has been in 12 months is 5300

Surely not a few months ago, and 52 weeks seems to be little different from year to date.

 

If you are a long term Holder,  these swings don't matter.  The ONLY price that matters is when you hit the sell button.  The rest is just noise.  If your a trader then it is a different game.
