Title: It's Official: Trough Of Disillusionment is Upon Us Post by: bbit on December 09, 2011, 11:39:38 PM The good news is it should be good times ahead from here on out but we'll see!
I say the "trough of disillusionment" is here based on two forum posts I came across. Don't mean to open old wounds but just shows you how delirious everyone is! Someone is threatening to meet someone over at his restaurant to say stuff to his face for BTC no less ? To someone quiting the forum because of Mod's and people taking pot-shots at him I think we've hit it officially.... If this isn't the trough of disillusionment then I don't know what is ? do you ? TOPIC DELETED! :o https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54093.0 I'm done with this forum thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=52625.0;all Enjoy it! Noun disillusionment (countable and uncountable; plural disillusionments) A feeling of disappointment, akin to depression, arising from the realisation that something is not what it was expected or believed to be, possibly accompanied by philosophical angst from having one's beliefs challenged. [quotations ▼] The act of freeing from an illusion; the state of being freed therefrom.

Meet me down by the restaurant thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54093.0 I just want to point that that Leo was not at the 'Uncle Jacks Steakhouse' he claims to own on 9th Ave in Manhattan nor does he even own it. Furthermore, after making a post how his company has "No Complaints" the thread was full of complaints that he chose to ignore. Cheers!

He should be labeled a scammer asap. Mods- Any take on the subject?

For plenty of hype cycle things, the trough is actually a petering out to obscurity (think beanie babies).
Bitcoin will likely follow this pattern, especially since the price has stabilized at $3 since the bust (ignoring the big trader dump that brought it down to 2.50 for a while). For its success though, it needs more converts. The problem is that it is a challenge to get bitcoins for new users. Most people don't want to hook up their bank account to some funny sounding website. I never did it myself, as i don't trust the exchanges with my money. Fortunately I knew someone mining bitcoins, and gave him cash for them after the bust. |
