when sellers are done selling, we then have new solid blood of btc hodlers, and the next rally shall start
The next rally will not start when the sellers are done selling. The next rally will start when there is a sudden surge in the demand for Bitcoin. Remember, the last surge was caused by the increasing demand from China. |

Do you think any shopkeeper will trust a currency which goes from $1,200 to $400 in a month's time?
The exchange rate volitility is a minor issue. It'll go away over time. Merchants can accept bitcoins without having to fear fraud, counterfeits, or chargebacks. If they aren't comfortable with the volitility, they can be exchanged instantly for fiat. There is no safer payment method for a merchant than bitcoins. |

People aren't going to spend their coins when they've lost half their value that they bought 'em for. |

Fraud is also a major concern. With so many wallet hacks and coin robberies happening, we can't exactly say that Bitcoin is completely devoid of fraud. |

Yes, but that sort of fraud is a secondary nature. The payment to the merchant is completely safe. Once the merchant has the payment, it is completely within their control to keep it safe. To put it in another form, all other payment methods are like accepting 0-confirmation bitcoin transactions. They may or may not be valid. A 6-confirmation bitcoin transfer is far safer than every other payment method in existence. |

FiatLeak shows trades. So if A buys 10 BTC from B and A sells 10 BTC from C, and A, B, and C are in China that shows 20 BTC traded (perhaps for litcoin), but there may be no net inflow of money coming from people in China (or anywhere else it tracks). It is an interesting site, but the premise that it is only showing money flowing from fiat into BTC then it is not correct. It shows SOME money flowing from fiat into BTC, but it also shows trading in bitcoin that does not represent new money flowing into bitcoin. |

Waiting and extremely skeptical I'll take a look after the 15th.

I never thought my life could be. Anything but catastrophe. But suddenly I begin to see. A "BIT" of good luck for me. Cause I've got a golden ticket!

You might be happy because you are able to buy more. But in general, this can be extremely band news for Bitcoin. Do you think any shopkeeper will trust a currency which goes from $1,200 to $400 in a month's time?
Sure they will because the BTC transaction confirms in 10 minutes and Bitpay transactions take only seconds to complete Not a month, not a week, not even an hour. Thus volatility is not a problem. |
Truth is the new hatespeech.

He said those "just" looking for money. Versus those who believe in Bitcoin.
I am holding because I believe in Bitcoin.
Bad wording on his part.
Bad comprehension on yours.

Obviously he's comparing that to people who try to play the system for a quick buck, with no confidence in the technology.

Whatever you gotta tell yourself It's bullshit and we both know it Like I said earlier, the buy and holders around here are the biggest book talkers of them all |

What's bullshit?
That I believe Bitcoin will succeed long term?
Obviously I believe that if I am holding right now, and buying more.
Nobody said I wasn't also going to enjoy the profits.
He said "Just" want to make money.
Nevermind. Talking to a dummy. (see signature)
