let me put it another way. if you dont want this to fail. buy 1 bitcoin
that's not how the market works, dude.
people will buy when they feel comfortable with the price. bitcoin will not 'fail' but we may drop below the old all-time high.
bitcoin will fail because the whole world will see it is FAR worse than having cash or other assets when they can be super easily manipulated by a few, when BOTS fully control the prices and when you lost ACCESS to 80% of all transaction/exchange capability.
yes, there will be bitcoins. but, who the hell would take them seriously.
all the problems it was trying to solve are in fact being created.
sometimes 1 bad publicity stunt kills a great idea. happens way too often.
and i do mean that people should just buy 1 bitcoin to keep trust going in it (not in mtgox) not too "speculate" on price volatility unless that's the only concern
