Wow this is actually a really sad story. Here's a guy who wanted to be in bitcoin, but foolishly sold out in the single digits, and has been doing desperate mental gymnastics ever since to keep hope alive that he'll be able to get back what he threw away. My heart goes out to him.

Or... Here's someone who's desperately trying to undermine Bitcoin from within, and thinks what he says on a silly little forum makes a difference... Still sad  |

The case for bitcoin is pretty compelling, and the more people who know about it and appreciate its value, the higher the price will go. That's something that's really hard to predict, and it mitigates my concerns that this is a bubble.
Sure, but I think it's inevitable that media exposure will get much wider than it is now, and when you have millions of people interested in bitcoin, then even if half of the entire bitcoin supply were on the market, I think the price would still go up considerably. I think it's likely that we'll reach that point.
This is kind of what I'm beginning to think is going on. We've all just underestimated the exposure and the interest people have in bitcoin. Interest may be increasing more than the community thought a few weeks ago, and, as a result, the population of buyers has increased sufficiently relative to the supply. In which case, this isn't a speculative bubble.
Well, on the bright side, now it's official, bitcoin is a currency. Next up, Amazon.
Based on an average 12% increase in the exchange rate every difficulty (which, BTW, I actually think is overly optimistic by quite a lot) we'll reach $10 sometime in August and $100 sometime in March 2012.

This is what is really interesting, it's almost like after June 2011 his account got hacked. |

i'm quite sure he was referring to me. alot of idiots were calling me a "bagholder" in Nov 2011:
Admitting you are right a few months ago has served me well. Thankfully there have been enough bag holders resisting the obvious.

Nah. The bubble popping was traumatizing for him. Now he just wanders around senselessly crying wolf. I would not go trolling and mocking other people after getting traumatized. |

<steps out of character for a moment> That was really nice of you, but I'm mostly joking around here. Post an address you want that money sent back to and I'll send it back. Otherwise, I'll donate it to the Bitcoin Foundation. |

He is bull in his heart and already has his coins in paper wallet stashed somewhere. (I cannot find the post where he mentions that.) |

Proudhon consistently makes the worst investing calls in the history of this forum All joking aside, I am 93.76% certain he has a significant store of coins somewhere and plays the skeptic very very well. I applaud proudhon for being such a committed, and more importantly intelligent, troll. I don't have proof but his success rate calling market movements, if you follow the opposite of what he posts is higher than most; something some of the veterans have begun to pick up on.  |

Does the forum not tell you when you're being ignored anymore? At one point (maybe a few months ago) it said something like "5 to 10 ignores" under my avatar. Now it doesn't say I'm ignored at all.

Yes. I still have some bitcoins. I'll probably buy more when we dip into the single digits again. |
