Yeah, this is about the third bubble I've seen. It doesn't mean Bitcoin is doomed. It'll be back, and each time, it comes back higher. (Although I agree with many who say a little more stability in the exchange rate would be good for taking it seriously as a currency for use in trade.)

If Bitcoin gets air time then it will slowly correct itself. It is still in price-searching mode. We simply don't know what its true value is as nothing like it has appeared before. There's nothing to worry. If it can survive "bubble" after bubble, it means that it does have a good future.

Ask not what Bitcoin can do for you - ask what you can do for Bitcoin.

I never thought my life could be. Anything but catastrophe. But suddenly I begin to see. A "BIT" of good luck for me. Cause I've got a golden ticket!

You can think what you want, but this is IMO the point of no return. I'll agree there. Still having roughly a $1 billion total dollar valuation (TDV) after "the crash" says something. Even with many merchants essentially having been frozen, unable to determine price, the number of transactions occurring for the day barely dipped. And BitPay never stopped processing transactions, just that the exchange rate varied wildly minute to minute: - https://bitpay.com/bitcoin-exchange-ratesAnd every day there are more merchants coming onboard. I just read about BitFetch, which pulls torrent files for you so you can download them without a torrent client (after paying BitFetch to grab the file for you). Services like that would not exist without Bitcoin. Those businesses alone are enough to justify a $1 billion total dollar valuation (TDV) for all bitcoins.

I don't see bitcoin on that site. Must've removed it due to the crash.

I watched Bloomberg throughout the day today. I saw no fewer than six bitcoin segments.

If Bitcoin survives this (and it will, believe me,) then it's definitely going to be here forever. And I'll say that again when it crashes again from $1000 to $300 ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

I will have to agree that the recent volatility is good for Bitcoin as a currency. People get curious. Press reports on our activity. That all brings a great deal of scrutiny. If the currency withstands ups and downs, that proves its resiliency and credibility.
As with any currency, its all about trust and confidence. The more it is poked, prodded, bloated, pruned, etc. the better it is for its long term health as a currency. This activity will also help other virtual or crypto currencies.
If one is wise, then one will take in the long view.

They spent about 5min today on CNBC talking about BTC. 2 days in a row it gets mentioned yesterday was obviously about the crash but only spent 5sec on that.

That's exactly right. since $.70 i have been telling people about bitcoin and that they should take a look at it. They all took absolutely no notice of what I had to say. lol they all went and bought bitcoins at around $200. even though it has fallen they will only lose if they sell their bitcoins for less. Bitcoin is in the public eye now and it should start to grow at a steady rate as new tech comes in to make it easier to use.
