I woke up today to see Bitcoin back up, pushing 700 again .... and first thing I thought of was ... "I wonder how stupid revans feels right now?"

Our "collapse of hubris" isn't panning out like you (prematurely) ejaculated.  I mean predicted.

Your gloating pretty much proves his point.

Yeah, I think the bounce will be short lived. It looks way overpriced to me.

Your statement would make 1 ounce of sense if I we were at 1200 and I was mindlessly bragging about how much money I'd made.

That was his point.

However his claim was that we've already been dashed to the rocks and look like fools.

Therefore, defending the total lack of "being dashed to the rocks" as well as "looking like fools" hardly proves the point *he* was making.

In short:  Correcting mis-perception does not equate to hubris.

The hubris was revans first post.

The responses refuting it, don't qualify as hubris.

Hey nice avatar. I was seriously thinking about starting a "Mr Greedy coin" the other day. It's just the pic I need!  Grin

Lol you are so smug.

You have psychological problems comprehending the difference between an instigating troll and an irritated individual trying to show why the hubris of the instigating troll is factually incorrect.

The responder is allowed a bit of attitude, as they are responding to nonsense.

ElectricMucus wins.

How does he win?  Im not being arrogant nor smug.  Therefore he has "won" nothing.

Im telling revans that his insults must make him feel stupid, as we have gone up in price.

That isn't smug nor hubris.

ElecricMucous has a dark yellow highlight on his ignore.

I believe this is evidence  he has "lost" many ... many times in the past.  And now again.

The simple fact is that "revans" started a thread based on the exchange rate .... yet I need to com up with a "better" way to refute his claim?

I could do better.  Believe me.  But this is "revans" ... the biggest troll on the site.

He doesn't respond to logic, arguments, or facts.

He posts inflammatory bullshit, based on temporary dips in exchange rates.

I made the executive decision to meet him on his level and respond to him as he came at us.

Of course I could do better.  Of course it had attitude.  But you are tossing Pearls to Swine when you try to write something intelligent to a dumb person..

You should know that by now.  

As the price continues to climb, on the aggregate, his first post will continue to be proven wrong.  That's all we've got for a fellow like him, who pops up when the price dips.

Based on his past posts, I don't believe he's capable of learning in other terms.

ElectricMucus you still have my favorite username.  :-P

Everyone is now arguing with one another. Exactly what Revans wants.
I think that makes Revans the winner.

I know it's tough, but the only way to win is to ignore him.

Bump.

The cultists can not allow knowledge of their delusion become publicly accepted, this is why they zealously attack anybody pointing that out.

I don't usually read revans' threads, but when I do, I'm prefer to find a diamond in the rough.

I'm not sure hoping that speculators lose everything is a particularly kind world view.  It's rather destructive to the soul.

Totally destructive to the soul. I don't want bitcoin to succeed because I want to be rich, I want bitcoin to succeed so everyone can be rich.

a) the success of Bitcoin has nothing to do with people becoming rich.
b) everyone in that means everyone into the get rich quick cult.
c) the only people who actually got rich out of hoarding Bitcoins are those who already cashed out, there isn't enough money so that everybody can do it, it's a game of musical chairs.
