We missed the moon

[erre]

Ok bros, it's pretty clear now that we missed the moon. But why?

A considerable fraction of total bitcoins was mined during the early days/months, another was stolen during  an impressive number of various scams and hacks, another was earned by trading manipulation.

All this people, all clever than me, has probably already cashed out a ton of fiat at a better price, and is currently still doing it, they will do it untill people put money in it, because they have a tons of cheap btc, and want to convert to a ton of fiat before collapse.

This bubble was very bad for me: I buyed even at 4 digits, i build a scrypt miner and I was not able to ROI, I was scammed for little amounts. I never sold, beside little bad trades.

I am still glad to be here on this forum, but I have never seen so much scam attempts, here nobody trust nobody (and probably should not) and there's hardly someone who will help you for nothing - and it's a forum!

6 2 billion dollars of purchasing power, and what is the great thing the bitcoin community is currently doing for the world? Scamming each other for penauts. Oh yeah, and gambling.

We missed the moon. Maybe it's time to ask us why.

We will reach the moon next time. Becouse we are smarter then before.

Glad we missed the moon. Last thing I want to see is some guy's ass

A lot of the posts last year during hype phase/euphoria were quite comical:

'you ain't seen nothing yet, 10,000 dollars by february!'

'10k lol, come on bro that's nothing...50,000 per coin by 2015!'

That moment when reality hits you and the shills stop talking because they've taken profit...


Looks like it's down to nothing but bagholder moans, finger pointing and rants at people dumping off a sinking ship, and suddenly now everyone's changing their tune to 'price is irrelevant.'  Yet price is the very thing that drives bitcoin with its purchasing power and miner salaries.

Interesting paradox.

The quality of our ecosystem is bound to increase more over time. Scams and thefts are a serious issue, but they also show that people value having Bitcoins.

What if the moon attempt was a hoax, filmed in Hollywood movie studios?

Bitcoin will come back again.

Next run will be powered by decentralized exchanges like coinffeine (for on-ramping) and bitshares (for trading). This wouldn't have happened without stamp, gox, and all the other continual fuck-ups by exchanges. Antifragile means we adapt and evolve.

[mercistheman]

We're headed towards the fiery pits of center Earth... everyone sell out while you can survive the collapse... so I can buy more

[WrongGuy]

Did you think we would be seeing 10k? thats never going to happen sorry...the low price doesn't mean bitcoin is dead this has happended before and will happen again...a few times.

And OpenBazaar (for commerce)

We need to get a couple of celebs to gain interest... Lebron "For my next destination I'm taking my BTC to ......"

[TheDreadPirateDickstein]

Why? Because your the herd. You don't understand how markets work and got burned just as badly as the silver bulls who listened to Keiser....who was also doing his best to pump bitcoin.

Now kindly exit my sacred digital homeland, you do not belong.

On the contrary, you will either be eternally isolated in the cold vacuum of space far far away from any star, or you will fall back towards the earth and burn up in the atmosphere in an uncontrolled descent.  It's not great.

We need to find a way to limit the behaviors of the day traders and whales and manipulators.  None of this shit would be happening without manipulation.

markets and exchanges all over the world have been manipulated one way or another ever since. although i do agree with you, i think it's impossible to limit day traders, whales and manipulators.

there's a good reason some of them have become rich.  take warren buffet...  you think he got there cos he's so good at picking stocks?  bullshit.

Shoot for the moon. If you miss, shoot again. Keep shooting and never stop.

Someday, one of us will destroy that stupid skycircle.

But, seriously. What does it actually mean to “reach the Moon” for Bitcoin? Is it about the price? I don't think it should be. It should be about global adoption. Only when everyone can buy groceries with Bitcoin can we say that we have reached the Moon.
