I really believed in the bitcoins concept, but now it looks like a sad bubble that is about to explode in any moment. I almost put money when it was 30, but luckily I couldn't manage going to the back to do the wire. Sometimes when you feel unlucky you find out later that you were lucky.

It's going back all the way down to 0. Everyone will stop trading, turn off the thousands of graphics cards, uninstall the client, etc. Exactly the same thing happened with egold.

People can make easy money only for a short while, so those who were smart enough to sell at 30 made money. Early adopters can still sell and make money, but the believers will not cash out until they lost it all.

I personally hope it. Bitcoins should be used for commerce and not for speculation.

At present, Bitcoin is useful as a transactional currency, but it is too volatile to be used as a long term store of wealth or as an investment.

So one should not "put money into Bitcoin," unless it is for fun, and it is speculative capital you don't mind losing.

Bitcoin is not backed up by anything, so when one card falls all the building collapses.

So when gold collapses, what does it fall back to? Its commodity value?

I think his implication is that gold is backed by other currencies, which happen to be backed by gold.

By itself. Gold is a commodity that has demand regardless of any currency.

come on, we had a massiv exaggeration the last days, look at the charts. If the price comes back down to 5$ its not the end of Bitcoin, its a step into more stability. Hopefully.

I use TradeHill instant BTC trading: http://www.tradehill.com/?r=TH-R11320

That's just plain silly. Any medium of exchange will be speculated upon. Simple economics. Otherwise it wouldn't be a medium of exchange!!!
