Topic: I missed the boat is not new concept.. - page 3. (Read 612 times)

Newbies should be very cautious before investing large amounts of money at the ATH of any asset but more especially cryptocurrencies because they are among the highest volatile assets available.

They should DY(T)OR before investing, only invest what they can afford to lose and don't except more guarantees than in a gambling game. BTC and the crypto world won't earn anything good in the long run by creating disappointed, frustrated and angry people.

The reason why i am making this thread is to make newbies aware that sometimes we feel that we already missed the boat but in reality it has not started the voyage at all.All those coins if stored safely would now be worth millions or even billions if you made the excat calculations.

There are lot of altcoins that might be shining at this time but Bitcoin has been the king of CMC from long time and will remain the same and there are more chances of growth so you better don't get eroded by all such things like you missed the boat and do the same mistake they might have done.Just jump in and enjoy and stay safe.

You still see it quite a lot, but yea the environmental argument has been getting a lot more traction recently. I guess it's simply due to the fact that "bitcoin is bad for environment" is a lot easier to grasp for the masses, whereas the scam argument takes a slight bit of brainpower lol.

My experience is different, I can't remember the last time I heard someone claim that Bitcoin is a scam or a fad. These days I hear more "bitcoin is bad for environment" and "blockchain technology has some merit, but other coins will replace it soon".

But I think it's not really important what some random people on the Internet or in real life say, because they are not voting with their wallets.

..many times we have heard the line we have missed the boat and found out that this is not a new one as people have been claiming this from the initial days also.

Obviously the gains you could get by buying bitcoin right now is not the same as buying bitcoin in 2011, but I really don't get how people think they've "missed the boat" when pretty much most people still thinks that Bitcoin is a scam or just a temporary fad. Heck, we even still see the typical "TuLiPs" argument for some reason.

The fun isn't going to be as much as it must have been if we were here a bit earlier.

As for us, we are just late to the party.

I found out a few weeks ago, but didn't read too much into it. 

Then I came upon some message board discussions last week and decided to test the waters.
I realize that for the mots part I've missed the boat.

It's still amazing to me to think of all of the people who got in early who have rediculous 5-6 x 5870 set up's on a single system and are crunching huge numbers.

Wish I would have found out several months ago

Yes It is very interesting times, I can't help  but keep checking the price of the bitcoin. I must admit, part of me wants it to go lower because I missed the boat on this one.

With the current drop into the $15 range, and nobody seems to want to pick it back up to $20. I think most people will not even take the risk at buying it at these lower prices with the hope it will bounce back up to its $20 dollar support.

Someone must have kept it inflated at the $20 dollar level. I have no idea why someone has done that and spent all the money keeping it at that level. I knew that would not hold as nobody has that deep pockets.

A fair and stable price level would be around $8.00.

I am surprised the forum is pretty silent about this latest price drop. This signals many things coming to and end especially the mining. This whole thing may lose much interest soon.

What Bitcoin has been:

1. An incredible, and the most viable, attempt so far, to create an alternative currency (and associated market).
2. The first iteration of what will eventually prove to be a viable digital currency.



What Bitcoin isn't and will never be:

1. A truly viable alternative (much less replacement) to existing currencies.

What Bitcoin will prove to have been:

1. A way in which a few early adopters made significant sums of money at the expense of later buy-ins.
2. An experiment in which more than a few gung-ho anti-establishment types and greedy computer nerds lost a lost of money.
3. The reason for a glut if video cards on eBay being sold at half-price or lower.


While this has been fun, i think its become quite clear that this is a geek obsession and nothing else. Those of you who are trying to "get in on the ground" have already missed the boat for the real profit and are only trying to convince yourself of the longevity of this particular attempt. The game is over, and the security holes (unencrypted wallets, Mt. Gox's absurdities) sealed the deal. There was a small window to get public perception on Bitcoin's side, and that has closed.

Noone real is going to accept Bitcoin, and noone - because of the deflationary promise - is going to spend it either. So continue to enjoy tiny trade volumes and retarded volatility.
