Title: I no longer sleep at night because of BTC
Post by: zirt on November 07, 2013, 06:16:10 AM
I discovered BTC around 160usd
I never bought. For many reasons. Good and bad reasons.

Main one is I think, sooner or later, I don't know how, BTC will be stopped. No way Visa, Mastercard, Banks become useless.
Another reason is I have no confidence in exchangers, so can't trade easy.

Anyway, I have to agree, since, BTC went big up. And yes it CAN continue.

Each hours it goes up 0.5 or 1usd... Each time I refresh it went up... a big, steady, up, wow, impressive.

And it is worst when I think to people that have thousands of BTCs they got for 1 or 10usd... All geeks... :)

Well done. Wish you the best! For me really anything can happen, even if thousand of BTCs, I would really shake, value can, for me, be twice, or 0, when I wake up...

Agreed.  The banking industry is much bigger and stronger than some people seem to think.  But, there's plenty of room for Bitcoin to be an accepted alternative.

And what if they can't stop Bitcoin?  Ideas are bulletproof.

Another reason is I have no confidence in exchangers, so can't trade easy.

Use escrow and you don't have to trade them--you could just hoard some, if not all, of them.

I thought you were going to complain about how you stay up all night watching the charts 'day'trading. I have gone through about 4 weeks of about 3 hours a sleep at night, except for an occasional night of catch-up sleep when the rate appeared somewhat stable. Exhausting. And still am feeling I am worried I am going to miss a sudden dramatic event. (like the fork in blockchain earlier this year).

This is one thing I hate bigtime about trading BTC, it goes on 24 hrs a day.

The only remedy is buy and hold.

I only wake up when the value goes up 300%. Last time, I had almost two years of sleep. This time, only 5 month. Next time, what, a bubble per month? Bitcoin is such an attention whore :)

The same way "they" stopped thepiratebay? Old technology DOES become useless when new tech replaces it. Banks and big parts of our global financial structures are already doomed, they just don't know it yet. And no the future doesn't take Visa.

Sleep? LOL

I went to bed around 1:00AM (6:00UTC) and woke up about 2.5 hours later with a full bladder and my instinctive Bitcoin alarm wailing frantically, just in time to see 300 smashed.

Still awake.

Don't forget to empty the bladder though or your personal celebration will be messy :)

what banks will be able to do if people will just get their money out and close accounts? We are true power, not banks.

Agreed.  They will struggle and fade away much like the RIAA if they don't adapt.

Well ...

This happened....

I never bought. For many reasons. Good and bad reasons.

Because you think like this....

BTC will be stopped. No way Visa, Mastercard, Banks become useless.

This is the difference between those who will become rich from Bitcoin, and the rest of people out there, like yourself.

Its just a different brain process I'm afraid.  You don't have the viewpoint necessary to understand it.

Here's some insight into the other type of thinking:  Ask yourself:  How many merchants out there will continue to willingly give 3-12% of their sales to Visa and Mastercard when there is an option out there which is offering a 0%-1% option?   I am a small merchant and I get anally raped to the tune of $4,500 a month in merchant fees alone.  The percentage can reach 12% on a transaction if the user is outside the USA and using a rewards credit card. This doesn't take crazy, out of the box thinking.  Its common sense.  Visa and Mastercard are done for, if Bitcoin continues.  Amazon.com alone will save something like 40 million dollars a month in merchant fees.  Ya think they'd be up for that option?   I do ...

You lack the confidence (and possibly the understanding) to take the necessary risk.

This is so true, every time someone tells me that bitcoin might fail, i think that nobody can take away from me the idea of a fair money. bulletproof.
