Curious, what fuels this desire to buy them even at this price?
We still can't buy hardly anything with them andthe blockchain bloat problem hasn't been sorted out.
I was thinking the other day that there does not need to be a large active economy to correlate the price to, because Bitcoin can always act as a store of wealth so long as the community is large enough. But will people use it in this manner? The community is still very small.
There is rumour that this community is a very small part of the actual bitcoin economy. By whom? I was mining, buying and selling coins for half a year before registering on this forum. I'm sure there are many users who just don't bother registering. +10,000 (number of people who are familiar with this site but don't use it) And likely many more who are into Bitcoin and could give 2 craps about any of the rhetoric as long as they can send coins from point A to point B and attach some real world value to them. Yes of course any community has lurkers. But for that statement to be actually the case there would have to be something that's about bitcoin and larger than this forum. Since Lurkers, in some way belong to the community too. Something like the bitcoin subreddit, just bigger.

Something like the bitcoin subreddit, just bigger. - bitcoin holders dont visit these forum or the reedit or anything, they just hold their bitcoins and rarely think about it. they get the latest news weekly from friends - bitcoin SR users, that only see bitcoin as a way to get drugs? - day traders that have learnt NOT to listen to the BS that fly's around here - poker players I think people that come here are fans, and i would assume for every fan there's 10 "normal users" so yes this community is a very small part of the actual bitcoin economy. but surely its the most important part, or is it?

Maybe I could have stated myself more clearly. but surely its the most important part, or is it?
damn skippy.

If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system. - GA
It is being worked on by smart people. -DamienBlack

this rally is going to leave so many of the young kids behind. what a shame not to worry, I have a paper wallet only playing the trading game with like 20% of all my BTC and stop spreading false hope, its going down too 8$ if not this week, then next week... wall is disappearing for 10s, then appearing again, repeating every 10 min... is it a bot?

This is like, so far from panic buying than anything. I feel the market is very bullish in general. The weekend was the perfect time for a correction and I was even expecting it but nothing. I think $10 will be tested sooner than $8.
