dear bitcoin old guard...

[paulie_w]

what do you guys think of the mania and madness of the last 2 months?

was it all for naught, or did you expect this to happen? are you still believers? :-)

[bitrebel]

perfectly expected for a medium of exchange that can change the world.

If it didn't happen, I would be suspicious.

Expect what to happen?

[just_someguy]

I'm not really old guard... but there are plenty of us that love bitcoin for what it is. Nothing like it has existed in the history of mankind.
For me all the talk of price, legality, and politics is completely irrelevant. I'm fascinated by what a beautiful machine it is.

Frankly it would be nice if everyone who only saw it only as an investment, a conspiracy theory, or the antidote to a conspiracy theory would go away.
I'd keep writing bitcoin related software even if the price was negative.

Meh. I will ride bitcoin till the end.

Beside, all the crazy up and down made me a "meh" person.

I'm fascinated by what a beautiful machine it is.

It's disappointing, but I kind of expected it to happen.
