I'm really don't think Bitcoin being on the radar of the Middle class is really what we should be aiming for. The people in the top two tiers of this pyramid are who needs to be convinced.
The highest growth comes from the smallest entities, true in business and very likely the best target for Bitcoin itself. Thats why the high fees thing was really not good for the underlying prospects of BTC and the high price at that time so ironic. Markets move in mysterious ways, as BTC improved this year and developed better operation we see the lower price but thats how it goes with speculation. Price is sideways and good prospect of upwards till 7200 maybe 7320 before some challenge I reckon, minor movements

We can experience our 85% and greater correction at a later date. There is no problem with that, and no reason that such further and additional correction might not take place at a later date.
I will take the 85% drop from 250k to 37.5k like a man. No whining, I promise! Hey... anything is possible. I was thinking something more in the territory of a drop from $120k to $18k... ... but I don't have any kind of exact foundation either. Before this long correction (our current correction) I was thinking that our current blow off top would have taken us into the $30k to $50k range, and then at that point, I would have considered a 85% or more correction over a few years to be perfectly reasonable (so a drop to somewhere between $4k and $7,500 after going into the $30-$50k price range.. but that is not our scenario, no more.. because we already had a 70% price correction). $20k just seems like too much in the middle.. so to me, just does not seem to be like a sufficiently eggregious "blow off top."

The projected blow-off top of 30-50K was 'terminated" with the use of futures. Without futures deployment mid December, we would probably 'heated' up to that 30-50K number within a week or two.

Just like your guess on the list for highest price This year ..... around 7.5K or something LOL yer sorry, i got that one wrong. but still made decent profit 20k peak. You are hardly convincing. How could you be in a position to be making "decent profits" at any point in time if you are continuously spewing bear scenarios? If you attempt to live anywhere near your prophecies, then you are not going to have very much of your possible investment capital in bitcoin. Therefore you are quite likely to be way under invested into bitcoin during times in which the exponential price increases take place. As the old saying goes, "you gotta be in it to win it" and bitcoin has a relatively low number of real bull days during any particular calendar year.. even during bull years... so if you are nearly always preaching the bear scenario, then you are likely going to largely miss out on those bull days, when they do occur. It was meant to say " decent profit since 20k peak". There is an element of truth to what you say. I didn't hold any bitcoin from after i got wiped out to now, just alts (traded some btc from late 2017). made about 2000% by this time last year. sold all my alts well before the peak. if i'd held bicoin and sold at the exact peak that would be about 1500% profit. made almost 400% trading since Dec 2017. So since, i guess approx mid 2014 (i can't remember the date), thats about 8000% in 4 years. That's a conserative estimate. But i did't have much to start with, so still very small fry, but im happy and very greatful.

Futures were microscopic when they launched. It was the excuse to die, not the cause. Classic sell the news stuff.

Also sold to pick up a Porsche, but that's about it.
What did you get if you don’t mind my asking? I keep looking at the used ads but I’m not pulling the trigger yet. Late model 928S4 (91). It's a pretty good car, complex but still fix-able if you know what you're doing. Good 340 or so HP, so enough to get underway and reasonably priced. Excellent suspension for the turns, and at 100mph it cruises on the highway well. I have always had a soft spot for the 928s but don’t know a lot about them. What does the S4 badge mean?

If it's really "bakkt" by verifiable crypto collateral, bad banking practices have no hope.

Do I know who it was re-hypotheticated to? Absolutely not, and there is no way to find out. It would become the same gimmick sooner or later, when "bakkt".

You are misreading the sentence, yefi.
somac is saying that the price went from $20 to $266 and then to $7k 5 years later - even though you could read the sentence another way to say that bitcoin went to $20 not long after it was at $266 - but that second reading is not what somac is saying.
I guess I was giving too much emphasis to a strict, grammatical interpretation. ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)

let me just HODL and when there are oppertunitie's increase the BTC stack size , nothing more nothing less
Some-time, mid-2022-ish, we should find some ludicrously overpriced private-location, and host a massive WO-party, only accessible by private jet. EDIT: Helicopter access will also be an acceptable alternative for party-travel. I will promise to not crash that party for 10 BTC. Better pay up before it's cheaper to just hire a Hitman. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Do I know who it was re-hypotheticated to? Absolutely not, and there is no way to find out. It would become the same gimmick sooner or later, when "bakkt". An important difference between stocks and crypto is that with blockchain tokens it's possible to design a multisig protocol to avoid multiple uses of the same tokens. Of course, it remains to be seen if they will go to such great lengths to make sure all paper coins are "bakkt". But that could be a way to add "trust" to the system, as someone of them was blabbering.
