Nonsense. It is lower in value when measured against anything. You are not deep
Probably OP means that bicoin is the measure of price, so price of bitcoin cannot change by definition: one bitcoin always worth one bitcoin. I think OP means that if you use BTC for its intended purpose, to buy goods and services from the merchants that have adopted bitcoin, you will get approximately two thirds less than you would have when BTC's price was $1,200. |

i can assure you, that if you're trading bitcoins for some papers from a bank you are the greatest fool and probably deserve whats coming.
An assurance from you, Robert Paulson, isn't worth the paper it's not written on  how about an assurance from the US government, they will tell you they are bankrupt if you just ask them http://budget.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=387875or how about an assurance from reality http://www.usdebtclock.org/anyone who trades bitcoin for fiat is a fool and probably deserves whats coming. Robert Paulson, your daddy issues with US gov. are dull, repeated constantly by those more eloquent than yourself, & contribute nothing to the topic. Just delete your posts and help us keep this thread tidy okthx. |

Dang, interwebs d00d I never met before, tell me it ain't so!!!1!1!  What's up with the cartoon ponies?? You post them a little more frequently than a FinTech forum would expect. Are you chatting me up, Bitcopia? Or do you think ponies are my way of contacting my Reptilian Masters (long may They reign!)? |

Even after all this I am not ruined. I am still 5figures fiat to the better and have a few BTC to show.

Another ridiculous argument. Investing in lottery tickets is stupid. Overall, the scheme looses you money. It doesn't suddenly become smart if you have won--it's still stupid. You have won the lottery, which doesn't make you any smarter than all of the fools who lost. I would advise you to stop, regardless of your past winnings. You're being ridiculous now. If everyone would sell their coins and stay away from Bitcoin like you advise them to it would be worth nothing and have no use whatsoever. Is that what you want and advise? Really? I don't believe that for one second unless you really hate the concept of Bitcoin for some reason and want to see it fail. In that case your advice is not very objective and I wonder why you're still here. I used an analogy to illustrate that doing something stupid and profiting doesn't make it smart. Bitcoin is clearly not a lottery ticket. But let's go with your direct substitution, Bitcoin=scratch ticket. I have not suggested anyone should sell their scratch tickets to greater fools. Merely that they shouldn't be *BUYING* lottery tickets from those who are selling them. TL;DR: Don't be the greater fool. Please explain me how does this work? At what point can someone who is new to Bitcoin and interested in it buy some coins and not be a 'greater fool' in your eyes? Is there a specific price point you have in mind that's okay or is anyone buying coins at any point always a greater fool? Or does he have to subscribe to your newsletter first so he can know when is the right time to buy? I'm just curious how you see this and what you think would be the right thing to do. I'm providing the antidote to the "this thing can't lose, to the moon, 100k BTC by next year posts. If it was up to me, n00bs would buy BTC when they were ready to *BUY stuff with it*. K? |

...Would you advise that I not reduce my exposure to BTC?
... I never told anyone to sell. I simply told them not to buy your bag....

Why does this need repeating? P.S: Though you may profit from selling your coin now, I do not advise you to do it. You seem to be relatively well-off, and the ethics of unloading your bag on someone potentially less fortunate than yourself are questionable. |

Bitcoin will make many more people rich, i am sure it is not a question of if but when who.
... If you're being honest, and not just trying to rope in some greater fools? Clearly not you. |

...  Anal bleeding? (that is not an offer) So you think the only two options are immediate total collaspe or infinite bull mode? could there not be something inbetween? ... I haven't told you what I think. I have politely asked you a question. The politeness is clear from the word "sorry," while the question smiley at the end obviates the whole magella being a question. So, sans the etiquette: What did you mean? |

@Raystonn: Good point. Where's your proof that 2 = 2?

NotLambchop,
Wow looks like your all knowing and telling me not to buy at 0.00018 was one of the best moves I could have done.
/s
... You appear in this thread exactly 0 times, don't remember advising you. Are you sure you're logged into the correct account? Regardless. Jumping out of a 10th story window in hopes of getting rich is stupid. It doesn't become unstupid even if you happen to land on a pile of fluffy garbage bags and avoid injury, finding a ten dollar bill in one of them. Stay safe, and ~Happy investing! |
