Topic: How can you be optimistic short term at this point? (Read 1810 times)

I suggest obtaining BTC for their purchasing power, not their exchange rate into USD.

This will only work once people start selling for BTC, and not for BTC based on how much FIAT they will get for their BTC. If you look at all BTC sales everybody adjusts BTC for inflation/deflation; so if you are a buyer with FIAT and want to buy BTC for their purchasing power, doesnt it make sense to wait until it levels out?

BTC is doing fine; the exchanges have some growing pains. Wait until Wall Street wants a piece of the action.....  Cool

There is more to Bitcoin than bitcoins.
Ten seconds after reading the OP, I can't even recall the supposed list of reasons to be pessimistic.

Bitcoin works perfectly fine. I quit using gox a while ago.  Most of my savings are in btc. I've been cashing out a little bit at predecided price points. Now I'm buying back at a profit. I can pay for more and more services and goods with btc. I can continue to use it to move money across borders, quickly and easily. There are even some arbitrage opportunities if I bother to watch and wait. Finally, the big pictute - Bitcoin is doing great, with some growing pains:

DDOS don´t excuse the suckers pressing the sell button like panicking bitches.
They all deserve to stay with fiat money.

If you're in it for the short term you're doing it wrong

I'm so sorry I'm late for our anniversary dinner, honey. I was DDoSed on the way over here.

I will start incorporating the DDoS excuse into everyday situations. If it's good for Gox....it's good for me.

Is this the success lag? The panic sell lag? The DDoS lag? Or, the market manipulator lag?

The DDoS lag? Same lag, different excuse.

short term bulls most likely have sufficient USD holdings right now and are looking to profit from the volatile upswings while waiting for the bottom to find itself?

virwox.com and other exchanges are still running smooth.  why not learn to use those?

Not all. Bitfloor is down and BTC-e is intermittent.

Seems like there aren't ANY bulls right now on the speculation subforums, even Smoothie is MIA. That's probably a good indicator as any that shit is about to get alot worse before it gets any better.

People are trying to ruin the market..

And it'll work. I'm selling ASAP if I bought any by accident once gox comes back online.

Then I'll buy back when we hit the single digits

At the end of this, Bitcoin will be worth more than it was in the summer of 2011. Now that was a crash.
