Title: when the guys who own 10,000 bitcoin see their net worth drop below 1 million
Post by: jehst on August 22, 2015, 02:11:45 AM
then i believe we will get true capitulation

it's easy to be a bitcoin cheerleader when you have 10,000 BTC and they are worth $600 or $300 each and you have a ferrari with a bitcoin license plate.

when those guys start giving up and selling their cars because real estate taxes and auto maintenance is too expensive, and bitcoin startups go out of business, then it might be a good time to buy BTC. we have to see real pain. we all feel like we've felt the pain, but it may be just beginning.

I want them. Period. What the market does is a separate issue.

What the market does seems to impact how many you get, see? Same issue.

Well, I want to own all Porsche 917's in existence, but I'll patiently wait for their prices to come to me.  8)

There's a good chance that someone who owns 10,000 coins either mined them or paid $100 for the lot. It would be sucky but that's still not a bad return. They would also have to be a bit daffy not to have pulled some money out when prices were higher.

If serious money was paid for that amount then that implies they're pros so should know better.

Exactly.

Most people who own 10,000+ are certainly not bothered by the movements of Bitcoin's price.

That is because either they didn't pay much for them or the amount they paid constitutes an infinitely small percentage of their total net worth ie. they're rich even with or without BTC.

Playing with the "house's money" is a bad mindset to be in.

It doesnt' matter what you paid for it, it's worth ~2.3 million now, that's how much you should think of it as.

10,000 Bitcoin, now that would be something to be smiling about.  The only thing you would need to worry about at that point is how to spend it all.

I look forward to the day when everything sold on online places that accept bitcoin will be priced at microbitcoin and nanobitcoin. "I remember people used to buy a pizza for BTC0.2! Man, those were the days. I sure am glad I got in while they were cheap, soon after, at $400!" They'll say. I think we might see some days below $200, some freak occurrences below $140, but never again double digits. The pre-halving bump and the post-halving jump will be in the news soon.
