CCN is really a junk news site and almost all that they publish is trash. I don't think they even have an editor review their articles prior to publishing.

I briefly looked at the article and I don't think the author's logic is sound

We'd all be speaking German by now.

Having a bad day?
Have a snickers buddy.
Not everyone who joined this forum only bought bitcoins as soon as they've joined. Some have had Bitcoins for a while and lurked on this forum as a guest, then decided to engage in conversation. So instead of sounding so unwelcoming, why don't you come up with a educated rebuttle. Given the circumstances of our present situation I agree with OP's thinking. It doesn't take being here from the beginning to be able to analyze markets.

I'm invested 100% in Bitcoin, not really investment because never bought any, all generated in the early days. I saw this drop coming but never sold because I really trust the system. And because I really hate banks and current fiat system, I'd rather die poor with a few bitcoins in my pocket than selling my soul to the paper money scammers.

But now the price is really low and I can't survive much longer like this. Not just because of the money but because my health deteriorated fast in the last 2 years. Smoking and drinking put a definitive mark on me.  Then depression came. I've hurt some people and now I pay the price. I've hurt my ex-wife, who was dedicated entirely to me, took care of me and was so in-love with me that she'd suffer great pain if I suffered anything. She had access to my cold wallet but never took anything. And after I lost her, when she was left with about nothing to eat, I just gave back some.

Since my lungs are fucked up big time, I don't have much time. I guess I won't see the 10,000 per coin. But bitcoin was one of the best things ever in my life. Aside from the baby I'm waiting. I have used a big chunk of my bitcoins to give to others, mainly family and friends and if you never had the chance feed someone with bitcoin, I think you're doing something wrong.

Of course, I saved some for the child, maybe he/she will use it someday. But remember this: when you go, you don't take anything with you.

Was having a tough time deciding which gift card I wanted on eGifter, but I selected a $148.82 Amazon.com card. Nice workaround for the fact that Amazon doesn't accept Bitcoin yet and of course I got triple points from eGifter for doing that. Don't worry guys; I'm not giving up on Bitcoin. I'm just handling a few changes in my life that warranted the purchase of a gift card.

I buyed a lot @ 1000

The pathetic 2014 is gone ,  let's face the new year 2015 !

WHY 2015 is the year of BITCOIN  ? I have some predictions

1. Partial ledger bitcoin-core will make whole bitcoin network burst ,  we'll have more than 100k bitcoin nodes by the end of 2015 . Network scale determines the value of bitcoin .

2. The whole bitcoin eco system will be strengthened by project like openbazzar , sidechains , XCP etc . The stronger eco system makes more people realize the value of bitcoin  

3. Countries like Russia will have a very tough year , people have to find a new currency to replace the devalued fiat . Bitcoin is absolutely a good choice

4. More big companies will accept bitcoin as a payment method .  WHEN the accumulation of bitcoin accepted commpanies' quantitative reaches a  certain limit , the real changes will be surely coming!

5. Bitcoin price has fall a lot in 2014 . The Bear is tired . BULL's show time is up .

So ...

2015 is the year of BITCOIN !

Ony people holding a large amount would get nervous. I am in it for the technology it offers, so not nervous a all

That halving is priced in already. It's a known event.

By fall of 2016, Bitcoin will be sub $10.

You guys honestly would be better off on Yahoo Answers trying to convince 15 year old girls that, "Yeah..pregnancy definitely causes herpes. Your 15yo boyfriend has AIDS...don't have sex with him!"

Microsoft recently add one more way to accept USD from bitpay company, however many fake news about "it is accepting bitcoin" came out and some of us buy this troll,

The bitcoin price is going to crash even harder after this "delay" caused by fake news same as PayPal made their announcement, you know what happened about the price crash

Microsoft does not accept bitcoin
Microsoft does not hold any bitcoins you pay to bitpay company
Crash incoming!
