One thing I've learned over the past few years here is that some will continue to discard everything as FUD, even when it's looking them straight in the eyes.
This.
Exactly. A mod on a bitcoin forum spreading fud is ridiculous. And not just any kind of fud but totally insane predictions trying to scare new people.
I hope his mod status will be taken away asap.
Stop being such a crybaby. He has actually backed up his positions quite well. In fact, Blitz's analysis was part of the reason I became such a bear ~2 months ago.
Au contraire, I find that a mod able to see other thing than "up Up UP" is far less dangerous.
This. I actually think the perma-bulls constantly spreading irrational exuberance are much more damaging than the bears. They convince newbs to squander their investment capital and lock themselves into holding the bag during a downtrend.
What some of you guys need to understand is that your stance bullish/bearish can diverge on different timeframes. It's not "us" vs. "them", this isn't soccer or war.
If you don't care about neither the short nor the mid term trend (say, months ahead), then quite honestly you shouldn't even be reading the speculation forum because it will only serve to distract and distress you when the shorter term trend diverges. If it's not fun, what's the point?
This. The people that get butthurt are the ones that think it's just black and white -- i.e. if you are not a bull, you "want bitcoin to fail", etc. I'm certainly not here so we can all talk about how we are all long term bullish. Who the fuck cares about that? If you want to get
religious, there are other forums for that.
If crash is something that is supposed to happen, I really don't think long time Bitcoin backers should publicly be happy about it, it's an awful thing to read by some noob who's considering going into cryptocurrency.
Kinda lame but I guess that's how it is..
I'd prefer it if people here, especially those looked to as having some sense of seniority,
didn't play the role of missionary. I'm here to speculate and wrap my head around others' speculation, not coddle newbs into a false sense of positivity. For the same reason that I would never encourage my friends and family to invest in bitcoin right now, I am not going to advocate for this sort of bullshit.
1800 more coins and 88 falls. Good times.
