Been there for weeks.

"The" bubble? Singular? LOL



So many bubbles.

Is it too much for you to grasp the idea that he may have been involved in Bitcoin and even bought bitcoins years before joining this forum?

Then again, beartard trolls aren't the sharpest spoons in the knife drawer.

Sigh.

Sock puppet of a sock puppet?

Pretty pathetic.

What? Didn't you know that Bitcoin only started a little over a year ago at over $1000 and has been falling ever since on its way to zero?

It's a South Seas Ponzi beanie baby tulip pyramid scam. All the famous financial experts say so, so it must be.

Or are you some sort of commie libertarian koolade-drinking conspiracy cultist?

 

 

It's the holiday season and feeding the less fortunate is traditional, even if we do it with a slingshot.  

Those are pretty unrealistic expectations.

The same could be said for $32 in June 2011 or $266 in April 2013.

On and on it goes. MtGox may be gone but where speculation runs rampant, shenanigans will continue.

Some will bitch about it, some will stubbornly deny it, some will try to profit from it and some will simply wait it out.

I wouldn't say his time is over. He's only 84 years old.

People still buy shirts. Maybe some time soon more people will be buying them with bitcoins.

He might end up making money from Bitcoin despite himself. He seems to have a knack for that.

Most perhaps, but the less intelligent, more antisocial ones like Trollchop will probably continue, at least until their shrinks get their meds right.

The ignore button is still effective for those unfortunate wretches.

Indeed. It's funny how Bitcoin enthusiasts seem to come out when the price rises and go into hiding during the teddy bear picnics.

I'm looking forward to a solid bull market for another reason though.

If it becomes another bubble with attendant media exposure, maybe fewer people will think I'm a Boston Bruins fan because I wear a cap with BTC on it.  

So the shirt maker doesn't understand the disruptive technology.

This is news?

Exactly. This is why I hope I never have to sell.

Hopefully widespread Bitcoin adoption will occur and I'll use my bitcoins to buy goods and services.

Surely most people can tell the difference between honest discussion, including criticism, and obvious trolling such as spamming the same FUD repeatedly with an obvious intent to be annoying or insulting, or starting numerous negative threads with the same content, especially with several obvious sock-puppet accounts.

Even trolls are capable of occasional honest discussion. I don't think anyone minds worthwhile comments being quoted even when they come from well-established trolls.

Perhaps it's better to say "don't quote the trolling". Hate the sin, not the sinner.

As for "early birds" versus "noobs", perhaps it should be recognized that those with considerably more experience will have a different viewpoint from those who are relatively new to Bitcoin who form opinions based on limited experience or try to apply experience in other fields inappropriately to Bitcoin.

Of course more experienced posters must remain open to change and not allow themselves to develop a stubborn orthodoxy and reject new ideas.

In my observation, posters fall into three groups.

The "early birds" are those who were into Bitcoin before 2011, and saw the price go from less than a cent to over a dollar, bubble to over $30, crash to $2 and then bubble and crash twice more.

A second group are those who came on board in late 2011, 2012 and very early 2013 and witnessed (and participated in) the last 2 major bubbles.

The "noobs" are those who didn't really get into Bitcoin until later in 2013 after the last bubble to the ATH had already started.

Obviously those who've seen the price go from a penny to over $300 will have a different perspective from those who have seen it go from $1000 to less than $400 in barely a year.

Those in the middle group, including myself, will have a viewpoint somewhere in between those of the other groups..

Merry Christmas Bitcoinland, bulls and bears alike.



Peace on earth and  good will to all.

Oil burning on 5th Ave.? Tanker trucks at the Empire State Building?

Wow, just wow. Do you use kerosene lamps too?

I guess we're just a bunch of luddites here in Toronto, stuck in the past with our hydroelectric and thermonuclear power.

Everything's up-to-date in Kansas New York City. They've gone about as far as they can go.
