Furthermore, applause for sgbett and his offer. Good to see that there are still some people left in the bitcoin community who are still just nice people, no matter what the price of bitcoin is.
It's not really a nice offer if you're promising something that you know isn't going to happen. The only people who actually believe that bitcoin will rise above $5,000 USD by the end of the year are delusional new investors who will be burned.
Hey OP, I promise to send you 1 bitcoin in the event that world peace is offically declared by the United Nations by December 31, 2014. It has approximately the same likelihood as bitcoin reaching $5,000 USD.
The only nice people on this thread were the ones on page 1 suggesting that the OP sell. If he had listened, he would have cut his losses in a much better position than we're in now. Let it be a lesson, if you listen to charlatans like sgbett and invest your savings into bitcoin now because "we've bottomed out" (funny how these guys keep declaring a bottom every week), then you'll be retiring in a carboard box, eating cold ramen packets.
