[Jozzaboy]

Well written article in a magazine regularly read by wealthy individuals. May we see a trend reversal now?

Big money will ask their financial advisors about "that Bitcoin thing", to which they will reply  "they recently had a bubble, let it deflate and then we will come in"

“My goal is to get rich,” says Jonathan Mohan, blunt as you like.

I stopped reading after this. If your goal is to get rich doing bitcoins, your doing it for the wrong reasons. Getting rich was a by product, and people like this don't believe in bitcoin like other people on this forum do. They even labeled him as a "Bitcoin promoter", this is insane.

Lol. What do you think is the goal of people on SPECULATION forum?

[MAbtc]

Trend reversal? I think not. Good to see, though. Not a fan of the believer/evangelist angle... we're not all part of the cult!

[BitcoinAshley]

Bullish.

Not for price, but for infrastructure. The rich folks that read this magazine won't be too interested in dumping millions into such a low-liquidity asset, but they love to get their hands dirty with some startups. More VC funding announcements here we come!

#1 bear complaint is "there isn't sufficient infrastructure to support the kind of adoption we need to keep price going up at the rate of the long-term trendline."

A reasonable complaint.

However, VCs see the potential in bitcoin and will understand the potential return from investing in Bitcoin-related companies.

Everything is going according to plan.

I don't read the speculation forum, couldn't care for it, it is actually ignored in my preferences.

Well that's surprising considering you are posing in a topic in the speculation forum.

What's wrong with trying to get rich, ya socialist weenie? Not everyone is in the bitcoin cult, sorry 
Honestly, thinking like that is not going to get you anywhere. Venture capitalists are needed to help build the infrastructure needed for wider adoption. And venture capitalists don't invest because they are "bitcoin beliebers" and they are part of the Gweedo Cult where nobody should try to get rich, everyone should just give everyone else their money and BELIEEEEVVVEEE. Venture capitalists invest because... they are rich, and they are trying to get richer.

Good luck with the socialist bitcoin cult mentality, though. At least it's amusing. 

There is nothing "wrong" with trying to turn a profit.

That's that cult shit. Who are you to say?

[mvidetto]

"[bitcoin] has fluctuated sharply, but overall it has soared. So buying into [bitcoin] has, at least so far, been a good investment. But does that make the experiment a success? Um, no. What we want from a monetary system isn’t to make people holding money rich; we want it to facilitate transactions and make the economy as a whole rich. And that’s not at all what is happening in [bitcoin]." -Paul Krugman

FT is a bigboy money mag. Good news!

Then he shouldn't be labeled a bitcoin promoter. I am wealthy from bitcoins, and I could retire, but I don't cause I am so passionate about it. I think if your doing bitcoins just to get rich, you are not here for the right reasons. That is my opinion. I see that you don't like when people have opinions against your opinion. You need to work on that.

He probably should; he is just not promoting your own limited vision. The thing is, bitcoin is not your little pet project. It is not going to be what you fantasize that it will. It is what others make it. Keep telling people that you're righteous and they're not. It only marginalizes you and (in its small way) perpetuates the perception of bitcoiners as a cult. Bitcoins are useless to me as currency; I have dollars and more versatile payment systems for that. You don't like people like me? Watch what happens if all the speculators leave the market.

It is opinion dude, get over yourself LMAO. Let the speculators leave, I made my money off of them doing panics sells and buys LMAO

I see. So now that you've made your money, people trying to do the same are "doing it for the wrong reasons." ...But if you were here for the right reasons, you wouldn't have been trading in and out of fiat, would you?

...Get over myself? What are you even babbling about? If you don't want people to disagree with you, stop posting your opinions and then proceeding to dig yourself into holes.

Some newspapers have a free small format "magazine" in them on weekends, and a TV program on Wednesday. Is that it?

[MAbtc]

Do you really think I care about what you say? I don't care. Yes I made a lot of bitcoins when they were like $5, but that wasn't the main reason I was here. If that is the first thing that comes out your mouth then you to me are just another one of these get rich quick people and probably leave soon anyway. I have also done a lot for the community and I am not going to sit here and list out what I have done, but since your new, I wouldn't hold against you.

You are so righteous!

I'm feeling the price will explode upwards once market sentiment against the manipulators is forgotten about or so predictable that the whales end up losing money.

This news is very bullish, our market cap is so small that even 1% investment from some of the FT whales would prop us up at least $20.
