I predict that people are going to wake up and start demanding wage payment in bitcoin. The "hero adopters" will be those that setup picket lines to pressure companies for the option of paychecks in BTC.

That wont happen, at least not for another year. Right now Bitcoin is still terribly unintuitive and unsafe for general use.

People are also selling so that they can deduct their Bitcoin-related capital losses from what they will owe the government for 2014.

If you guys are buying then either its blind optimism or you have some belief that we are at the bottom of the price drop? Can I ask what makes you think that? If you had brought a coin yesterday you could have lost $15 already.

Do you realize the power bitcoin gives us? I like the idea of optimism I wouldn't consider it blind optimism because for starters its a insult and it is a way to belittle me for believing in something you cannot afford.

It sounds like for you it is blind optimism. I suspect the same is probably true for many others as well. the fact that bitcoin will rise substantially in the future is far from certain and there are a number of risks involved in buying/owning bicoin

The term is made up for one. Secondly if I am interpreting it correctly it would mean I am optimistic about bitcoin for no reason.Or possibly I am optimistic but blind to all the risks of bitcoin. Well,if I am interpreting your terminology perhaps I am not so blind now am I?Thirdly and last of all,Your whole sentence is fucked up honestly,it just subjective,far from certain? Tell me what in life is certain?(rhetoric) And you put emphasis on the uncertainty of bitcoin by using the word FAR conjoined with FROM. WOOOOO. Got news for you Bradley,nothing in life is certain. Sometimes you get a jack,sometimes you get a queen,only way to find out is tot play. Either way the term doesnt really correlate,how could someone be blind toward bitcoin and be optimistic. Just another Zero talking out of his ass. You aren telling me anything I don't know. Difference between me and you? I do things,you talk about doing things. You just sit on your ass and watch. Get your pom poms out and just cheerlead for time bitcoin. We are the future.

Unintuitive... and so was the potato when first introduced because because you can cook what is underground, not what is outside (poisonous). Download breadwallet and see how unintuitive it is (hint: piece of cake or potato?).

I don't think you are understanding my point. The point is that blind optimism is that, regardless of the facts surrounding a situation, they will take a specific stance. It is not that they do not know that something is a fact, it is that they do not take the fact into consideration.

Blind pessimism is when someone is pessimistic when disregarding relevant facts, including additional facts that have come to light since your original stance.
care to take a guess on how that sentence could read if we simply again replace the variable-word pessimism with troll?

Bitcoin is nothing but a money transfer system and not even easy to use compared to Paypal Forget the mass adoption, even 50$ BTC is overpriced when you think about how useful it is Even if Bitcoin is ill-suited for instant money transfer, there are a few things that make it (and some alt) unique : - you are the owner of your coins as long as nobody else knows your private key (so avoid web wallets) ; - you don't need to trust anybody to store your money ; - you don't need to be accepted by financial system to receive coins ; - total amount is capped, and inflation controled meanwhile ; - there is a good level of anonymity if you stay in legit economy. So for a value storage system, Bitcoin is a must. For daily expense, I think we could transfer Bitcoin to a trusted intermediary (bank, Paypal) then use current system. Exposure is limited as you keep owning most part of your coins in your wallet. This is the best of two worlds. It is time to banking to change their business model. Typical believer's talk How retarded you must be to store value in something that can lose all of it's value within hours Bitcoin is not just a payment system. It is decentralized consensus. It is programmable, better money. However it does not completely work as money yet as it isn't a real stable store of value at the moment. The coin is the security of the blockchain and it is expensive to maintain; this is the challenge faced by the bitcoin economy. It is a battle.
