Quote from: mazzarmazzar on July 24, 2012, 11:39 amI havent bought bitcoins for a month and last time was 4 per coin but checked mt gox today and rate is 5.7 per btc this is crazy and very off putting as im reluctant and hoping the price to drop before I purchase any.It was around GBP 3 when I first started trading on here - but why should it matter? Since Vendors peg their prices to the USD/BTC spot rate if the Bitcoin goes up in value, the price in BTC will go down ; 100 worth of Bitcoins will still be 100 worth of Bitcoins no matter the exchange rate - do you follow?The only time you will lose money in this way is if you purchase Bitcoins at one price and then they fall in value before you use them. The answer is only to order as many Bitcoins as you need and place your order as soon as you have them.Hope this helps,V.
