Final Warning for Long-term holders...

[Bit_Happy]

@OP "Final Warning" is the type of wording you choose when you are intentionally trying to scare people.
Why are you attempting to spread more irrational fear?

Your comments on bankruptcy are good to follow and I believe you know more about the process than I do.

However some comments are hard to understand like "The buyers' cost of acquiring the coins will be high because they will need lawyers, accountants, transportation costs for their team etc.) This scenario will totally reset the price of BTC and there will be a totally new set of BTC pioneers and winners. All the current exchanges will be out of business and BTC will return for sale to the public at large, reputable stock exchanges. Hopefully, by this time, BTC will have a robust infrastructure and the price will stabilize and climb at a sensible rate."

Why would this reset the price of BTC?
What I would deduct is that the cheap coinz aren't really cheap due to all the overhead acquiring them. In effect there are loads of people feeding off of the process.
The buyer will have no incentive to sell the cheap coinz cheaply because they might not be as cheap if you add the overhead. This would not make the BTC price drop as hard since the buyer might need $100 to $150 per unit to break even.

Why would all the current exchanges will be out of business?
Yes if BTC goes to $1 a piece stock exchanges might not be viable anymore but IMO reading your post the BTC dump will never make BTC go below $50 to $100.

Thank you for detailing the reasons why this "Final Warning" doesn't make a clear case to believe BTC will go any lower.

Please make paragraphs because it's really annoying and eye-hurt to read integral text  

I didnt even bother reading it. If they can't make their point in a clear thought out way (including format) then it isnt worth reading.

Pretty much agree with you on this one but there is always the occasional gem that lacks easably legible format.

So what does one do?

One liquidation event is not justification for price change, especially if that event does not affect more than 10% of available BTCs. The question I have is, if the bankruptcy court is offering the BTCs for sale, would there be a possibility of a bidding war to take place? If so, that will determine the price

10% is huge.

10%

10%




Do you understand that the BTC market is too illiquid to handle the current price?

[YipYip]

blah blah blah

TL;DR -

Inexperienced OP doesn't fully understand Bitcoin and places too much emphasis on Gox.

Agreed ...GOX was a bullish signal

[Ayers]

lol format this shit, you must pay me to read that thing, and you are wrong anyway....btc will rise to 10K in 2-3 years max

Can't be bothered to do the full legwork on this but:

Hello cosmo.
Pathetic.

10k in 2-3 years? No, $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 per unit, baby! To da moon!! All based on fairytales and rainbow wishes.  

BTC won't exist in 3 years. There will be a tweaked, BTC-like technology, trading under a different symbol/initials. Gox coin buyers are going to change BTC's name and break it up like a Gordon Gekko project. (They will have the 200k Gox coins + rights of first refusal for the added Court coins that WILL be found + private coin purchases from off exchange sources like Overstock and Virgin Atlantic and finally all of your panic sales.) The new BTC-like vehicle may be at 10k in 2-3 years but you won't be involved. Sorry, the poor lose and the wealthy win...again! Scoreboard! JUST WATCH!

You would think he will have edit his post by now

Everyone has been concentrated on the legal definition of Bitcoin, mtgox and the volatility for months now; maybe it is time to go back to being concentrated on the positive : new technology, great medium of exchange ect.

Why would I edit my post to help any of you? You clearly hate me and I have grown to hate you. I just deliver the facts. Take the emotion out of it. "Why did you break BTC? Because it was BREAKABLE!" Implied GG quote

Well, now we have the old testament-like god at last! Our saviour turned against us, because we have been so ill-hearted. Let the floods pour in while I'm still searching for my sun blocker.

You are 90% emotion with 10% facts. The rest of your "facts" is illogical.

[cryptnutter]

So tired of the "intrinsic value" argument (as if fiat currency has intrinsic value). What does have intrinsic value? Gold, silver I guess because of the time, effort and costs of producing them. What happens if major, easy to retrieve reserves are found someday? What happens if governments decide to tax the hell out of gold and silver so much so that nobody wants them anymore?

Value is whatever someone is willing to pay for something, plain and simple. If you have a house that some bureaucrat appraises at 10 million dollars, yet nobody wants to buy it from you, your house is effectively worthless. If someone wants to buy a Bitcoin from you for $500, it's value is $500, regardless of whether it is "intrinsic" or not.

I don't hate you jr65, I just don't believe your magical.  I have been reading about bitcoins imminent collapse for years now.
"Bitcoin will NEVER reach $1. It's impossible and here is a chart I made to prove it!"
"Bitcoin can't reach $10, it has no intrinsic value!"
I think your forgetting that value is an illusion created by humans. Gold is just a shinny rock and the money in your pocket is just fancy paper. They derive their value from a common belief in their value. As long as I have another person to trade with bitcoin will survive in my economy.

[spazzdla]

The idea behind intrinsic value is a joke to make fun of the masses.

Gold has the first mover advantage of being a currency that has been accepted all over the world in every country and civilization for thousands of years. People trust gold because it has proven itself over the test of time to hold its value for thousands of years. Bitcoin has been around for, what... 5 years? Even after bitcoin is gone/broken, the internet is gone, or the world as we know it has been wiped out by nuclear holocaust and civilization is rebuilt, gold will still be here and will still have value.

No, you deliver hearsay and unsubtantiated garbage.  I would expect a lawyer to recognize such things, alas you're just a liar, that much is clear.

Claims of delivering only the facts, and calling people that call you out 'haters'. Seems familiar, somehow.
Cosmo, really. Anyone as educated as you claim to be should go to a little more trouble in creating new accounts. Can I suggest that you run your text through Google translate into the language of your choice and back to English again to disguise your characteristic style?

I agree with you. Which is why I also own gold. And even though the internet will be gone one day, I invest in tech start-ups and bitcoin to profit while I can. I mean, even gold will be valueless when we humans are gone. Which we will be eventually.

Gold holds no value to the universe? If so, why does it exist?
