I would bet that when email was invented, there were people like him telling others how useless it was !!!

The fun part is = no shock breakers (other than the infamous Gox lag).

This so called 'Crash' would be over before you know it, because its a totally free market. In essence, it would be a good thing for Bitcoin.

Greed is good.

Greed is good.

Yes if you are not the greatest fool in the game

I'm not hoarding or fuelled by greed, it's just that the things I buy with bitcoins only cost 0.157BTC today, so it's taking me a whole lot longer to float what I've got.

loved the "it's not a buble when you make money, it's a buble when it burst".
We agree on that

what's the difference 

[Elwar]

Yet again, the reason there are rich people and poor people persists.

It is all by choice.

The poor choose poverty over the unthinkable, "greed".

Gordon Gekko:
Teldar Paper, Mr. Cromwell, Teldar Paper has 33 different vice presidents each earning over 200 thousand dollars a year.
Now, I have spent the last two months analyzing what all these guys do, and I still can't figure it out.
One thing I do know is that our paper company lost 110 million dollars last year, and I'll bet that half of that was spent in all the paperwork going back and forth between all these vice presidents. The new law of evolution in corporate America seems to be survival of the unfittest. Well, in my book you either do it right or you get eliminated. In the last seven deals that I've been involved with, there were 2.5 million stockholders who have made a pretax profit of 12 billion dollars. Thank you. I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them!

The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much.
