Mito, theres a big difference. If the bitcoin is at 3.90 and I buy 1k worth and 2 days later it goes to 5, Ive made a lot of money..I lose a lot if it goes to 1 dollar. it has nothing to do with what the bitcoin is attached to. you are just looking at is as a buyer. but if your a seller and you didnt use the hedging option and the bticoin dives, the buyer can be screwed. that is why you see a lot of sellers cancel orders when the bitcoin drops. It would take too long to explain why its good to buy the bitcoin when its low, but do some research on Forex. That will give you a good idea. but what you are talking about has nothing to do with what Im talking about...
