I'm afraid I've lost my faith in Bitcoin. Somebody save me..

thats because you are reading the high price which is always volatile.. check out the monthly low price.. you will see there is a constant rise. the low price is more of the indicator of true value and growth indicators.. the high price is just pure speculation and should be ignored for long term investors

This claim can be debunked at this link: http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg60zigWeeklyzczsg2012-01-01zeg2012-02-29ztgSzm1g10zm2g25zl

February 2012's low was less than January 2012.

good, you should never have faith in anything. faith is the antithesis of reason and evidence.
Do you really believe that?

All cryptos are FIAT digital currency. Do not use.

Im pretty sure we will hit 60 within a week from now, people are losing faith in bitcoin faster than they ever gained it. Mainly because of the bad news surrounding it and the promise of a stable and more rare usd

I'd wait a month before saying that. We're dangerously close to the June $88.

why do you think coinbase is a "goldman sachs operation"?

Quote
Fred Ehrsam joins Coinbase

Prior to joining Coinbase, Fred worked at Goldman Sachs as a foreign exchange trader, where he traded both manually and managed their electronic market making platform, supporting in the $ billions in flow a day.  Fred has also worked at BlackRock, one of the largest asset managers in the world, and has been published in the Duke Journal of Economics.  Fred graduated with latin honors and departmental distinction in computer science and economics at Duke.

I find it hard to believe that a young man would leave a promising career at GS to work at a shitty little startup. He's been tasked to get bitcoins.

The Blackrock connection is a giveaway. They're the Jesuits of Money.

Lol, interesting perspective.

It's nice to be in a forum where people just gloss past posts like this rather than instantly argue against this most obvious of truths.  I guess I've been redditing too much.

Ironically, Severian and a number of others in his/her class are a big part of the reason for this...I hate to say.

It makes me happier than I could express to be of service in some manner or another, I don't hate to say.

It's frustrating as hell having as amazing a tool as Bitcoin at our fingertips and a userbase that appears to have little knowledge of the history of the money powers and political forces that oppose it. My only consolation is that I know the userbase will grow into the technology and some of them might even pick up some history along the way. I suspect that Bitcoin will outlive the Federal Reserve and I hope I can live to see the day.

I have great faith in Bitcoin's concept and the crypto behind it. I have no faith in the majority of Bitcoin's users and developers to have an inkling about who and what they're up against.

me too

I as well.  Ironically, Severian and a number of others in his/her class are a big part of the reason for this...I hate to say.

To clarify slightly, I feel that most of the developers with the possibly exception of Garzik are under-estimating the type of pressure that can and likely will be brought to bear against Bitcoin as/if it continues on it's present trajectory.

From the user's perspective, I think that relatively few fully conceptualize the technical issues associated with trying to operate at scale, and particularly if there is any sort of coordinated technical attack.  Most Joe Sixpack types have way to much confidence that the future environment will look a lot like the present and/or place confidence in the types of organizations who have the technical and political power to scale up making it A-OK-ish with them if the solution is centralized.

Again though, I have confidence in the blockchain itself and my position within it.  Come what may, I expect with a fair degree of confidence that it will have residual value regardless of what happens to messaging aspect of the solution.  How much value is difficult to know.  And if I am wrong about this, a lot of scumbags and thieves will also end up getting burnt so there would be a silver lining to an unfortunate outcome.

Would be somewhat interesting to know if bitcoin is truly worth one's time in the long run of 5 to 10 years.

Sounds like advice from Hannibal Lector's autobiography.

The word faith is derived from Latin, to trust.

When USD's reign is over (AND IT WILL)...

CRYPTO will take the crown..


Hence why I will just keep on holding.  It is a very good idea to diversify investments.  Bitcoin is one of the best ways to do that right now!

+1 this

Unfortunately I seem to buy higher than the lows. Wink  I guess the new "low" should eventually catch up to my average bitcoin price I paid of $120.  Hopefully anyways . . .
