Until Bitcoin gets a proper client with proper marketing, prices will decline.

[Cara Navarre]

Very few newbies are tolerating the hours required to download and verify an entire blockchain. There are lite clients but look:

http://www.google.com/search?q=bitcoin

Nobody sees them when they first google Bitcoin. They just get the bad client that is on bitcoin.org. Until users google Bitcoin and get an easy-to-use experience, Bitcoin sales will be slow and the price will not go above $15.

I am a quick learner but it still took me forever to figure Bitcoin out. Now I see why my client wants to invest in the currency but, still, the software sucks.

The Bitcoin client page lists several clients, with descriptions including "fast" and "low resource"?

and the price will not go above $15.

Hopefully not 

Concerning the client I personally recommend Electrum.

Yes, "marketing" will always be an issue because first off "bitcoin" doesn't get 2.7% of every txn so there is no money for it.  And secondly, putting a light client on the bitcoin.org page would be kind of like the FED endorsing visa vs. mastercard -- the currency should not endorse a particular vendor solution.

Regardless, thanks for your persistence!  Are you an investment advisor?  How did your client learn about bitcoin?

And you picked right now to come up with this revelation? Get out. Just go away. Calling long-term bear is pretty easy after a massive daily drop.

I've been telling people that even before the selloff, some folks get wild with the sockpuppet thing.

Bitcoin sales will be slow

Sales? Once a copywriter always a copywriter. Maybe all the frustrated writers from Somethingawfull can pool their talents and come up with some great Groupon deal on Bitcoin?

Nothing to see here OP is a douche.

Client has nothing to do with price decline.
