Run, Forrest.
sgbett, making a 'retard' jibe, at me!? Well I never!
Dear oh dear oh dear.
Erm.......How are the old Goxbux going Mr Bett?
You really, *really* need to watch that film again, if you think he was a retard.
Goxcoins are right now worth exactly what I expected them to be worth. What you fail to see is they still constitute opportunity. You see I have turned risk on its head, I have locked in my maximum loss. That "loss" is the cost of insuring myself against the unlikely event that what I had in their pays out a percentage.
Consider the scenario instead where you keep your premium, so you can be sure that is all you will ever have. Now consider gox actually pays 0.2BTC on the bitcoin. Your opportunity loss is around 400% (it was easy enough to pick up gox for 0.05BTC on the bitcoin). If they pay out more, say 50% your loss is around 1000%.
I fix my costs, and leave my upside unlimited. Mostly, everyone else in the world does the opposite.
Forrest Gump, fictional though he is, is one of the smartest people I can think of. Unencumbered by society's preconceived ideas about what you should and shouldn't do. Able to truly live life freely. I can only aspire to be that special.
