Are there any out there? I don't see that term being thrown around. But given bitcoin's price history is there really such a thing as being a perma bear? Perhaps being a permabear with losing your stake in bitcoin with every spike you buy and fall you sell. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Edward50 He watched the price go from $2 to $1200 and is still trying to break even. How is that even possible? Kinda feel for the guy but it's also pretty funny ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Even Proudhon wasn't that bad. From what I remember Edward50 was telling people to sell bitcoin at $2 in 2011 right? Now on the down trend in price he is doing the same... History repeating itself with the same guy? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

I don't see that term being thrown around.
Google gives 868 hits for permabear OR permabears, vs. 964 hits for permabull OR permabulls, for results from bitcointalk.org, but their numerical results are notoriously untrustworthy (mainly though once it crosses into the millions, so this one could be roughly accurate). Seems about equal to me ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

So what do you mean as "perma-bears"?
People that were ALWAYS bearish on bitcoin?
I bought at $10-$12, started selling in december 2013 - january 2014 and after that started mostly trading the big moves since there was good margin trading, liquidity was a lot better and the big bubble was starting to burst (so no point in blindly holding)
I mostly shorted this 2014, being pretty bearish all year aside from the predictable big $450-$680 short-term reversal-megapump.
At this point I am what you would consider a perma-bear. I don't have much hope for bitcoin, mainly for reasons linked to its fundamentals. As for the technicals, the trend is down until proven otherwise. If there are signs of a strong reversal I might buy or go long but I doubt.
Am I a perma-bear or not?

The next time around I think we will probably mostly be on the sidelines as wallstreet molds it to the financial system's existing structure. Just a bit nostalgic for the 'good old days' I guess when it still wasn't so serious and was more, I don't know, more something.... One of the major things that keeps me from turning into a bear is that the current financial system will eventually change/break. The fiat system is flawed as governments/central banks around the world get SOMETHING for nothing (pretty much nothing except ink, printers, and paper) ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
