"Bitcoin, the get-rich-quick scheme is definitely dead" - Andreas Antonopoulos

“Bitcoin", the speculative small-cap get-rich-quick investment scheme is definitely dead for now. Bitcoin however is fine."

You might or not agree on the "bitcoin is fine" part (I personally don't), but still, pretty interesting quote from the man himself don't ya think?

why did you post it now that we have just been given the opportunity of buying at very low prices before the next spike??

Because there is no next spike and if there is it will just be a dead cat bounce?

He's like the jesus of Bitcoin, number one authority, Bitcoin spokesman etc... If there's a single face of Bitcoin it's Andreas Antonopoulos.

Sigh.

For now only lower highs coming. Imagine what happens once we go close to the support at $100.
When everyone starts dumping coins at that wall things will accelerate/escalate quick. Like always last ones to sell will lose most.

Battle for buying coins at like $50 will also become interesting. Who will buy most?

He's just another guy like you and me. Nobody is special in bitcoin, IMO.

P.S.: Why did you change his quote for the title?

That's bot how markets behave. Just look at the historical chart in logarithmic scale and you'll see that the same pattern occurs everytime: spike followed by a correction. The same is going to happen again, it's just taking it's time. Patience will pay in the end and this is a great opportunity to buy at discounted prices looking forward.

It says here he fell out with the Bitcoin Foundation, and was criticized by lead bitcoin developer Gavin Andresen. I know who Gavin Andresen is, but this is just some guy who worked on a Bitcoin Foundation committee. He's not even a dev and fell out wit the people he worked with. Why should we give a shit what he says?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_Antonopoulos

Antonopoulos served as head of the Bitcoin Foundation's anti-poverty committee until 2014, resigning due to disagreements with its management. In a statement explaining the reasons for his resignation, he said "I can no longer have even the smallest association with the Bitcoin Foundation, because of the complete lack of transparency." Antonopoulos's decision was criticized by lead bitcoin developer Gavin Andresen, who questioned whether the Foundation was as "opaque" as Antonopoulos portrayed it.

If sometime within the next 3 years it has bounced above the previous ATH of a little over $1000, will you be calling that a dead cat bounce? Hypothetically speaking of course. I know you don't think this will happen.
