you sound a bit cynical but I do agree with you.
Some of the players just think in terms of profit.
Which, I mean, it's not bad. But it's not really about what bitcoin was for.
Or not?
No, your 100% right. Bitcoin was never intended to be an investment or for profit. 2014 turned Bitcoin into everyones want to get rich quick scheme. and next to 1% of them succeeded. 2015 will be the year of the "exit strategy" for bitcoin. where all the cry babies who bought in above $500 will start unloading and turning their back on bitcoin, which will be great as they are a plague and kill the bitcoin social sphere. Look at this forum for example. take a browse through the reputation section. 400 kids all crying about something, and every once in a while one of them jumps in on something in the marketplace or something like their opinion is gods gift. 2016 will be the year of the infrastructure, once all the kids have bailed out of bitcoin the guys who made the money in bitcoin will start to launch the products which will be the true infrastructure of bitcoins future. 2017 will be the year of adoption in the common place. You will be able to pay for your big mac and fries in bitcoin by the end of 2017, and bitcoins price will still be hovering around $300.
TL;DR
Bitcoin is not about "exchange value" or "investment" nor was it ever suppose to be, a bunch of succers got lead to believe it was, they got taken, and now their butt hurt.
Bitcoin is about revising the financial infrastructure of the world, thats all it was ever about, thats all it will ever be about. If 1
BTC is worth $0.10 or $1Million dollars it does not matter. It's what you can do with it that is important.
Que the suckers who got taken and their rant about how i'm wrong in 3......2........1.......... Go for suckers
Thanks. I hope it will move in that direction. More than BTC, so many altcoin made people believe in the "let's get rich, let's do it quick". There have been innumerable pum and dump schemes.
Anyway, I still consider the btc environment very "immature" in the sense we're kind of seeing its potential but we're not ready yet for the big jump.
