 Otherwise, I'll donate it to the Bitcoin Foundation.

Ok we can make you the jar bin of speculation subforum for the foundation donations then!

Just passed it on to the foundation.

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

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.

I'm not trolling or mocking him. I'm pointing out a fact. He's been crying wolf for so long that anyone who might have given his words some meaning at one point certainly should have learned to ignore him by now.

This is unfortunate, because he might have something valuable to say. My point is, he's lost all credibility. Anyone who listened to him at $13 would have missed out on a massive opportunity.

I was talking about HIM, not you.

EVERYONE in this forum is a bull, even the ones that claim to be bears because if you were a bear, you wouldn't care about bitcoin and you wouldn't be in this forum to begin with.
Also, proudhon, might be smarter than he looks (no pun intended) and might be hoping for crashes just to buy more coins as he sure knows that bitcoin is ultimately deflationary and uptrendy...
IMHO

I think Proudhon just writes the exact opposite of what he really thinks. Either that or he speaks another language and has a terrible translator.

bitcointalk always cheers me up.

I enjoy this theory.

I disagree!

If we define "bull" as "one who expects the BTC price to rise", and "bear" as "one who expects the BTC price to fall", I can imagine plenty of reasons to be interested in the Bitcoin technology that don't imply bullishness - even long-term bullishness.

There are people who think that the blockchain technology is the future of currency, but see the Satoshi implementation as riddled with instabilities or bad design decisions that will require a new blockchain to (and thus, the eventual abandonment of BTC as current money) to resolve.

There are people who simply believe that the practical use of BTC is too niche to justify a half-billion total nominal value - who reject the "rocketship or nothing" dichonomy and expect the price to eventually stabilize at something more like $13/coin.

There are miners who think BTC will fail in the long-term, and are just here to get their block rewards (cashed out for fiat) until it happens.

And that's not even counting all the people who think BTC will go to the moon in a hundred years, but think it'll revisit $2 before it gets there.

but then i will mass buy


I think there are enough tech head in BTC to solve Blockchain/BTC tech issues as they arise, the recent forK debacle did show resiliance

infact if you think about it the fork had the opposite effect to the Cyprus eu fork

Mark my words, we will never see $2 or $10 again unless a technical issue arises (hacking/crypto crack)

It looks like bids are getting exhausted finally, and those of us who went through 2011 have heard the we-will-nevers before.  Once things turn, they'll turn fast and dramatically and it'll take another few years for the project to recover, assuming it can withstand another 2011 (and I'm not super confident it can).

Seriously, man, stop this. You keep contrarian-predicting these spikes and I have to get to work!!!

If after hours and hours of learning and reading about BTC you are still posting things like these, then you haven't learned much and I have serious doubts about your level of understanding of the technology, particularly at this maturity level and level of adoption that, even though it's still minimal, it's enough to justify its current price.

Proudhon, I know you're just doing this bear thing as a troll, or performance art, or something, so this response is more to noobies who don't know you:

The bids are actually still near an all time-high of 7.25ish million while they were just above 8mil before today's huge buy.  This means that bids are no where near exhausted. Not even close.

That's quite something considering the main bank in Japan was closed for a bank holiday today.
