You are not helping.. I was not an early adapter like you were, i mined my btc from 0.01 btc daily and i didn't exactly have that kind of money to waste 30000$ on an asic, and i am so glad i didn't.
Most of it gone anyway, i'm just stuck with an electricity bill that's all
You're still an early adopter, this is a game that will be played in the long run, Bitcoin is still a newborn and its economy is like a peanut... And what we were having was clearly a crazy speculative bubble in its purest form, which means that it's GREAT that it popped.
Don't be silly, is fiat which is not to be trusted. Just remember to make your investments wisely and do not invest what you cannot afford to loose.
I know what you are talking about, and i would have completely agreed with you if you said that to me yesterday
However, my electricity bill is due tomorrow and those 30 ltc which i was robbed off was exactly in my btc-e to pay for the bill. Instead btc-e screws up and not only i lose 30 of my coins but now i have to sell the rest of my coins cheap because i have to have electricity to live for the next month.
And i need to sell about all of my current coins (78.8 ltc) plus some of my own to afford the bill if the price don't go up. Well bad start for a newbie if you ask me.
I hate to be that guy, but if youre banking your utilities on the value of ltc, then you are in serious need of some financial counseling bud.
Oh the irony
