Nope.
Me neither. I was heavily into BTC before I made the mistake of ordering miners from BFL and got caught up in that whole mess (btw, EAT SHIT AND DIE BFL, YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF SHIT EATING DIRTY MOTHER FUCKING SCUMBAG DOUBLE CROSSING A-HOLE DOUCHE BAG
WHORES, but then again, I digress. I apologize, momentary tourettes. *Ahem*). Since then, I sold all my BTCs and pretty much cashed out right before they tanked...haven't looked back since TBH. I've been keeping an eye on the sidelines every once and awhile (like now) just to keep up but I don't think I'll ever jump back in again. My confidence in the whole thing is shot just because I just can't help this nagging gut feeling that BTC has been bought out and corrupted somehow. I know, I know..."not possible"...but c'mon. Everything BTC stood for no longer applies. Decentralized? Anonymous? LOL! Not since ASICs, corporate mining farms and the fed pretty much killed the concept AND the fact that folks like you and me can't compete anymore. Disillusioned and bitter much? Hell fuckin' yeah. Bottom line? I still believe in the CONCEPT but looking for the nex gen. Until then I'm sitting this one out and stacking silver (DISCLAIMER: Opinions are like assholes and mine stink just like the rest of them).
Hang in there it will change for you. I used to think like you do because for a year or two I lost money to every scam on this forum since MyBitcoin. I bitched and complained about everything until I realized that the idiots selling ideas on this forum aren't Bitcoin. They are shitting on Bitcoin. They are here to squeeze the last drop of milk out of Bitcoins teat. The pool operators, TBF members, exchanges, business startups, new storage gadget makers, online wallets, IPO salesmen, casinos and everyone in between are here to make your btc belong to them. You have to assume anyone that offers anything for sale on this forum is a fucking thief and a liar. I pretty much use Bitcoin now only when I'm standing in front of the person I'm giving it to
or at
major retailers online that were around long before Bitcoin. If you follow that pattern you can't go wrong. Just remember there's nothing wrong with using Bitcoin but there's a lot wrong with the people selling shit on this forum. Keep a few btc as a memento of the time you used Bitcoin. Lock them away on an old hard drive like you would a photo album and forget about them for years. Some day you can open the file and laugh at how stupid you were back then or run out and buy a new house with a keepsake. Either way you haven't lost much.
