Topic: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. - page 136. (Read 631983 times)

I think people often confuse bitcoin for crypto in general. The writing is on the wall for crypto. It solves myriad real world problems that nothing else that has ever been invented can, or anything that will be invented for quite some time likely will. To confuse crypto currency in general for bitcoin specifically however might end up getting a lot of people burned.

People say all kinds of shit.  You need to learn to think for yourself and to take information that you get on the interwebs with a grain of salt...   Also take responsibility for your own decisions rather than suggesting that someone else tricked you into some kind of action that you would NOT have otherwise taken.   

Oh cut 'im a break. This thread has always been about unbridled enthusiasm

people said that we are guaranteed to have a nice gain year by year, no matter what the buy price. Already proved wrong.

Now you saying that we are guaranteed to get a big bubble in 2015...

Did you read my post? I said 3-6 months before it happens minimum.

Jeebus christ, Bitcoin is practically guaranteed to go to the moon next year and you guys are whining about cheap coins.

Either take advantage of the current situation or don't.

Just wanted to post a sort of journal entry to myself here while this thread is still in the double digits of pages. Its truly an epic thread  

(Sorry if this sounds gay or whatever to you other readers, just move on if so. This is just a selfish "to me" post. You'll probably flame away though, and thats fine too. I understand the opportunity to)

Alright Me, you're feeling a a bunch of pain right now dude. In pretty heavy, for you at least, at $560. Maybe you got caught up in the hype a bit, maybe the market is just over correcting now. Who knows. So many noises flowing through the news and forums right now. You thought you kept it as cool as possible while buying, though you knew this would be volatile going in. At least you only bought during dips, though there have been more and dips than you thought there would be. Maybe you should've considered early folks spending more of their winnings, driving the price down further.

Whatever. You've committed to riding this thing out. You've taking up learning to program because you wanted to be a part of this; You're still not good yet, but you'll get there. That whitepaper, that moment you understood bitcoin - its potential. Remember it set you back in your seat for days. The most disruptive technology you could imagine, other than warp drive, because warp drive would allow you to send value interstellar distances without delay, or so you tell yourself.

You sent one dollar in BTC to your brother today. He's across the country. It took three seconds. Sure, the time for the network to confirm is ten minutes, but even that is still fast, and three seconds is enough for you to transact with your bro or family members anyway. You didn't need a bank account and he didn't need one, yet you sent value. Almost instantly. For basically free (you used MultiBit, so there was a petty fee attached). Thats just not possible right now any other way. FFS, it takes four days for the rent from your roommates to reach you, and one will only write checks because wiring money costs $10 each time.

So, heres the deal, when you look back at this in a month, year, whatever, maybe it all went to shit, maybe you lost all you put in, maybe you're rich, maybe you're right back where you started. But you acted. You acted and took the chance on something you felt was revolutionary. All data pointed to eventual success, and you took the jump, believing that if the protocol remains healthy and uninterrupted, the product would eventually flourish incredibly. Maybe you missed something, but as far as you can tell now, its too amazing of a technology - universal decentralized accounting of scarce, unique digital assets.

If nothing else, you learned a bunch about economics, technology, (elliptic curves, holy shit!), are taking up coding, figuring out ways to start up a business around Bitcoin, and generally bettered yourself. It was a ride no matter the outcome, and you made the decision to get involved.


Cheers, Me

Who the fuck knows for sure when there is going to be a "spike," and readers of these kinds posts should take the contents of such predictions with a grain of salt that a large majority of us are speculating regarding the specifics of the price direction, to the extent that we are able to formulate any theory, the theory is merely a reflection of what we believe to be probable or likely based on the information that we have, and NOBODY, not even whale manipulators know all of the factors.

Further, in order to be at least a little more fair to Chopstick, s/he /it made the prediction about a week ago.... HELLO!  and contained in the prediction is a time line prediction of 3-6 months, we are NOT even close to the range of s/he/its prediction.  So, I would NOT be accusing Chopstick as being misleading or incorrect in any regards.  Possibly, if 8 months pass and the "spike" has NOT yet occurred, you may be able to suggest that s/he / it was incorrect in the prediction, but that may merely be a timing question rather than a substantive criticism.      

That is hillarious!!!    And, even if there happens to be a girl or two on the internets, these one or two girls should also find this post to be funny... but how am I to get into the mind(s) of the fairer ones?

There's girls on here?  Shit, I better change my way of expressing myself!!!   

There are no girls on the internet. There are only men, men dressed as women and prostitutes.

Here is your average internet girl:

OP was written over 3 years ago.  There was a  time when Bitcoin was dominated by male mining nerds who did it because it was cool.
Things change fast on the interwebs.

I hate the fact this post is originally directed at "gentlemen...".. I'm a girl, when is everyone going to accept there are girls on here?!!?!?!?
ladies and gentlemen would be a more appropiate greeting.

Never trust the weathy elite

baaa, it's almost touching the 200's now....depressing...where's the spike you promised?

If you read the thread, you will see that it was posted by Atlas.. who was subsequently banned.. and apparently a notorious poster.

why creator of the post is now anonymous?

Hahah i love the first post , i wish  saw it then , but i'm not late for this feast i hope

Each time you gamble you are expected to lose money so it is not a very good investment is it?


Lots of us are feeling a new massive spike in price soon because it has always go like that, it usually happen a bit by surprise but past results cannot predict future results
Adoption, mining, traders, expectations and the state of the economy dictates the Demand/Offer of Bitcoin that is the cause of the price

Hey geeks, I bring a message from the future
There's a new revolution heading to computers (c)

That is exactly what I have been telling everyone who will listen.   If you believe at all in the future of BTC, then you should be stockpiling as much BTC as you can afford right now.

If you are into gambling, it would also be a good time to gamble with BTC, because you can buy it so cheaply, and try to exponentially increase your holdings.
