The only people who thought bitcoin was done for, were those only in it for the profit and not informed enough to understand bitcoin's significance. The price of bitcoins does not matter for bitcoin the protocol.

The price of bitcoins does not matter for bitcoin the protocol. I remember those "dark months" after the bubble, where nearly everyone on the forum was spouting the most negative crap. I think people who didn't understand this thing lost a lot of money, and wanted to make the community feel bad about it. Those of us who stuck through it were the ones who took their profit. From weak hands to strong. This capital is too important to be in the hands of those who don't understand the potential of this system.

I initially bought in at $14 after the high (i didn't understand the idea of correction at that point, but from the start I understood the fundamental idea of Bitcoin and stayed with it) - I sold out at about $7 due to cowardice, but I still believed and waited for some positive signs and bought back in more substantially at around $3. I suspect every newbie goes through this at the price point they first buy into - belief, hope, despair, hope, belief. Bitcoin is a baptism of fire.

The title of this thread probably won't be proven wrong by the OPs 2 year birthday. If that ends up being the case, that's a pretty big bummer that a full 2 years after the big crash this market will not have been able to recover to 2/3rds of its all-time price high. The reality is, unfortunately, bearing out that the rest of the world doesn't exactly think this project is as cool as most people around here do and I think that says something unsettling about bitcoin's future. Sure, it's something that the market cap has made it to those levels, but that's mostly because of inflation and people just holding their coins and not added economic activity or more investor money.
FWIW, I find myself using bitcoin more and more these days because I might as well use it and use the value I've managed to accumulate while I can. So, I'm doing my part, but, as has been the case pretty much since the big crash and all the hacks, I'm still not feeling very confident about bitcoin's future. Still fun though.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

And... the bear is back! Can't help but to see a dismal outlook despite the many indicators of strong growth.

Yeah, that doesnt make BTC sound better...it makes it sound like an overly risky investment in a bubble. ...which actually is a pretty fair assesment of BTC.

I appreciate him for his fidelity. He is not just another lemming waiting for an eagle to get him off the ground. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) And I think a lot of people with similar sentiment are out there (not only Bitcoin, but other places where people try to store value). Keep in mind the time of this original post was right after the huge crash in 2011 where everyone was saying Bitcoin was done for. It echoes the sentiment of the time.

From weak hands to strong. This capital is too important to be in the hands of those who don't understand the potential of this system. So alot of PR work still needs to be done, no wait I mean time will tell. Isn't it just normal that people lose their faith after catastrophic incidents like in June'11? You can't expect people to use or trust Bitcoin if it changes conditions like a student in Hogwarts on crack. The protocol doesn't care about the price, but why was it created for again? I don't consider Bitcoins usage too geeky, but for the most people it definitively still is something magical they don't even bother trying to understand at its core. So many contrasts in this community, I can only honor.

While I admire the businesses out there proselytizing the virtues of Bitcoin, ultimately it will be the success of businesses that draws public interest. The incident in 2011 was a paradigm shift for the folks that don't understand Bitcoin, it was one of many to come. As far as lemmings and eagles go, I think one of them nearly did go extinct. Honor if a fine sentiment, but it must be earned.
