I think price can be a distraction and is not a measure of success. Ever since the speculators showed up there has been a greedy streak in the community that drives the bubbles. People who don't really care about bitcoin, they want dollars. I'm not against it. I don't think it matters what we do. Adoption is how many places I can spend my coins, IMO. That's all I look at.

Wouldn't USD 66.60 be even more Devil, since it means people pushed price down for own profit?

True, we should innovate and get more users to use BTC but it is also about it being an investment.  It has to be viewed as an investment when it is unstable compared to the USD and the Euro.

those who focus on bitcoin price and those who focus on services are in symbiotic life, one cant exist without the other.
without profits there would be no development, and without development there would be no money in either.
one could say that bitcoin now needs more development and clear laws than it needs higher price, so if thats what u were trying to say, i fully agree with you.

I care. Well for one, it is important for people how much their investment or holdings are worth - whoever denies that most probably just wants to sound enlightened, but that's not how humans work, and it's also an important factor for people getting to know Bitcoin. Every bubble has also brought a huge wave of people adopting Bitcoin, and this is important still!

Spoken like a man who doesn't have many bitcoins to his name.

Anyone holding a substantial amount cares about the price.

Well if you have a precious space rock that costs 500 $ a gram . It can be used to make the most solid walls and has magical powers. Next day you get information that 100 Miles square mile mine has been found, which is more than the amount of Silver on the planet. Now will you sell that rock before the price crashes or will you keep it for the innovative uses it has ?
Now imagine someone holding 1000's of those rocks. What would he do ?

if you bought euros and then went abroad to spend them and found they'd suddenly lost half their value would you be telling your friends "everything is fine euros still work because you can still spend them" ?

price matters because for those who aren't millionaire early adopters who got their coins practically for free, if we bought $1,000 worth of btc, we expect at the very least to still have that same $1,000 worth of purchasing power a few months down the line and if this doesn't hold true, there is little incentive for anyone to buy and hold btc

Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.

Well I do care, because I own bitcoins.

Bitcoins shouldn't just be a concept, it should be practical.

This comment perfectly sums it up.

The price volatility is a huge attraction for many people and although I'd prefer much more stability, its about what is best for the community. When prices stagnate as they have recently there is a lot less appeal for investors and big money backers.

I bet everyone who hold bitcoin and use it care about price. This low price now looks manipulated by exchanges, whales and sure some early addopters who have lot of coins but price is undervaluated now and soon there will be up trend again.

Everybody cares about the price, because bitcoin is a mean of payment. Without value it wouldnt make any sense.

And the ones who dont care, already cashed out big and dont have to care about the price ....
