They don't realize that Bitcoin is the drug :D Title: Re: Consider yourself a bitcoin addict? Post by: allinvain on June 04, 2011, 10:08:34 PM Yeah it's nuts. But I think it's perfectly natural for people to do this - it's exciting!
I used to stay glued to my trading platform during my early days of forex trading. Eventually I grew the balls necessary to just step back, go to the beach, have a beer with some buddies, etc, and not be "worried" or constantly be thinking about what my trading positions are doing. The same thing will happen with bitcoin for bitcoin holders/traders once some sort of price stability is reached. But until then I will continue to keep an eye on the btc/usd exchange rate like a hawk! Title: Re: Consider yourself a bitcoin addict?

Title: Re: Consider yourself a bitcoin addict? Post by: allinvain on June 05, 2011, 02:12:11 AM It's ye olde gold bug. Irrational behavior in the pursuit to enrich oneself. Sometimes it is..and I'd say a large portion of the recent price growth was/is being driven by this irrational behavior. But also a portion of it is not irrational behavior but a genuine belief in the technical and practical advantages of the bitcoin monetary system. The people that are adopting bitcoin and building ventures around and with it are the ones that should get the glory. The speculators on the other hand see an easy "get rich" opportunity and well they take it - it's human nature. Worry not, all things will work out just fine in the end ;) The free market will take care of itself. Title: Re: Consider yourself a bitcoin addict?
