And now you're suggesting I can't tell muddled stupidity from brilliance. Gimme a break, bro. Again, I made no such comparison. Again, either you tried for parallels between the people in this thread and the iPromo people, or the link was a non-sequitur.

Why everybody hate greed? Greed is an extension of survival. Everything alive is greed. If it looks like somebody is not greed, then look better.
Why bring that up? Did anyone make a claim to hating greed?

You call this a drop ? nah.... I think what is coming is more fun, just wait for it.
- 6-8% in a day? i call it a crash, not a drop. Anything < 70% down = "healthy price correction, bullish!" Anything above = "Yeah, well, I meant to do that." How long are you going to use the ATH for this? Why not go back when it was pennies and now we can see some real gains! Gosh lamb, I say this out of kindness, get a life. If you hate BTC so much then find another hobby, for being a troll is not something to be proud of. Look, I know it's frustrating watching your money turn to shit, but nevertheless: WTF are you talking about? What ATH? Take it easy, BrewCrewFan, you'll be fine. Life's not all about money. Besides, maybe you'll dig poverty ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

What a depressing day. Bitcoin down 30 dollars and side chains emerge as a potential bitcoin killer. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Ahh, you'll be just fine...

^ It's more of a continuum--3 days ago would have been a better time to sell, but better to sell today than 3 days later. Also, "Dangerously" is prob'ly not the right word... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs3.postimg.org%2Fv9yhaktkz%2Fkama.gif&t=665&c=EfOmOkotKjoRyg) You should be little more realistic... If you would look into btc history you could find out we will be back at 400$ soon. If looking at the past foretold the future, fortune tellers and prognosticators would be all out of work. Which is not good for our economy ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

Falling = We will continue to go down. No possible proof that is true. Rising = We have hit bottom and will only go up from here. No possible proof that is true.
Rising says = Falling is paid to spread FUD so someone else can profit from it. Rising is = Spreading irrational exuberance in hopes of driving the price up for his own benefit.
There is no difference other than the direction each side is cheer leading.
Selectively sanitizing the forum of negative speculations about bitcoin does not strengthen bitcoin or the community; it weakens it.
I'd say ~50% chance that rising is falling. The easiest way to make bulls look stupid: Pretend to be a bull & do what rising does.

Really, how many more "I told you so" posts? The man made a decision. If he was smart enough to sell the house back then , im sure he will have put those btc to work. If he just spend a couple hundreds on the likes of PBMining or GAW, he probably is up by around + $30,000 USD or more in the last months. Even at this price. I wonder how many $5.50 per hour dudes are bashing this poor guy here. Its the internet, i guess.
If he was "smart enough" to sell his house for BTC, he probably compounded his losses by "putting it to work" on Bitcoin's premiere securities exchange, Havelock. ..thus losing the rest of his money, at any price. *US minimal wage is 7.25 USD per hour, has been since 2009. So no "$5.50 per hour dudes" here, gramps.

Is this the moment when the market seems calm, one goes long then the dump resume with more vigor?
The trouble is there's no vigor, no real dumps--just slow, halfhearted, boring bleeding out. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs14.postimg.org%2Fxa7anpswh%2Fworstthing.jpg&t=665&c=xktInUzIc9albg)

... Just had a thought though... this old woman I have been shaggin, might not actually be his mom, it was just some old lady that was in his house, and she was getting shagged by his dad... so I asumed it was his mum, and so I got in line.. just for the "lulz"
but it may actually be his "girlfriend" hard to tell, one old hag from another.
He mad ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

... I think you guys are using the wrong tactics here. You need to realize that NLC is cyberbullying you. This will obligate our current nanny state to send gentlemen out to have a word with him/her. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) The state won't help you, filthy Bitcoiner! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs4.postimg.org%2F5cb19ptxp%2Fd25_39.gif&t=665&c=CSpkU77pEB0Wpw)
