Where's all the optimists?

[Opsamk]

I noticed that in times of crash, there are no optimists around preaching "oh no! bitcoin will never go below 600-700! it will be $5000 next month!". They must have bolted off with their cash-out with their tail between their legs.

That's how pump and dumps work don't-cha-know Bobby.

I'm an optimist. When in the last few years has bitcoin gone up in a smooth line? This shit is cray cray, enjoy the ride!

[Cyberlight]

There are still optimists, but this board has too many trolls who spread FUD

bitcoinsteve, bitcoinlitcoinbtcltc etc, ignore their cheap ass talk.

just a couple of nights ago there were optimists screaming 'to do moon'. most of them will be hanging on for dear life now, and some will be selling for dear life. it might take another 40% before they let go.

Why would an optimist sell? History tought to just wait until the price goes back up. Might be different this time, might be not - so far bulls always won!

They'll be back as soon there is some green on the daily, shouting "CCMF".

Not really, instead of sitting on 1000% profit I'm only sitting on 500% profit now. I've been almost 300% underwater back in April and even then I stayed optimistic and didn't feel like selling, so I can't do anything but comfortably sit back and watch and laugh at all the drama and trolling going on. (and buy some more BTC in the meantime)
 
But this is what I would do if I was optimistic but sitting underwater right now and having no more fiat left to invest:

1) Turn off charts
2) Stay away from the charts and these forums for a few weeks
3) Come back and turn charts back on
4) Smile and shout CCMFTDM!

+1, exactly this.

You're looking at the wrong threads maybe.
Just because there are still people posting here on bitcointalk it means there are people who are optimist on bitcoin future.

[BTCWizard]

I'm optimistic, this is just history repeating itself. Wait a couple of weeks and see it reach a new high again. Why wouldn't I be optimistic?

I keep seeing this 'CCMF' and I still have no idea what it means.  Google suggests it is Community Concern for Mental Fragility, which seems about right.

In history though, bitcoin never had an exposed vulnerability cause this much disruption.

It means choo-choo-mofo, sometimes accompanied by to-da-moon (or is it Mars now?).
There is a choo-choo, but currently it's going downhill. This doesn't exclude some nice rebounds.

That is 100% totally untrue.
