Yeah, no doubt.

We won't even begin to get an idea of what this stuff is for years.

Which begs the question, "Why is it stable?"  My bet is some big player is stabilizing it.  So is this person buying or selling?

Selling:
Loads of people discovered Bitcoins recently and want to buy some.  An early adopter with a lot of coins has a vested interest in making Bitcoins a success, so he is selling coins like crazy to keep speculators from creating a bubble (that means you grimex).  Bank of Satoshi Nakamoto perhaps?  This is a good thing.  Hopefully, other speculators will leave and things can stabilize again on their own.

Buying:
Loads of people are dumping Bitcoins and this guy is buying them up.  This seems unlikely.  Why would someone do this at $20?

You know when I was little, I used to think that all the adults who fall for get-rich-quick-schemes are stupid. That they don't know something I do. Now I know it was in fact the other way around. I didn't know something, they did. And they knew: Sometimes these schemes work. They have seen people get rich quick, with no work. I didn't know it could work, I didn't see people get rich. So in summary I now know it is perfectly reasonable for people to think that get-rich-quick-schemes could work, because they can. (1% of the time, but they can)

bought some bitcoins hoping to profit from another price spike but got bored at prices idling at $19 and things getting weird as time passed so I withdrew my money and bailed out before an inevitable crash.

good luck to those staying in the game  Grin

I could understand the need to share this attempt at a nugget of wisdom if it contained some kind of rational argument, but to me it comes off as "I am impulsive! You should be too so I feel better able to rationalize my shortcomings!"

I wonder, why would anyone want to say that?

Kind of like a person who loudly announces "Come on! Let's all walk out!" of a theatre if they think the show is crappy, only to be followed by nobody.

Is the forum for an application rooted in individualism the best place to try to get people to hop on your bandwagon? Cheesy
