While I agree that speculation is fun I think the influx of people with a pure shortterm get-rich-quick-perspective isn't positive.
So I'm fine with another price drop to wash those people out. People need to learn that Bitcoin is not another speculative instrument which should be measured in $$$. It's revolutionary technology with the potential to change economy worldwide.
Yeah, I think I may have fallen into the latter camp to some extent. Knew about BTC in 2011, but didn't jump on until January 2014, mainly for speculative purposes. I then started to diversify into some mining...
I digress; I am sort of sore that I could have spent some of the money invested into some other things, but I think it'll pay off in the very long-term. (But I do sort of wish that my pillow cushion of fiat was a bit plumper.)
Don't regret what you could have done in the past, think about what you can do today to shape your future positively. We are still at the very beginning of a potential future Bitconomy.
Apart from that, being involved in Bitcoin is a great way to learn what free money is and how it works. Once your infected with this "free money feeling" you will no longer consider USD as a relevant unit of wealth measurement.
In that respect, trying to get Andy Goldstein to give me a job at Bitpay.
