this is true maximum pain: http://edition.cnn.com/2014/04/01/us/chainsaw-accident-survivor/index.html?hpt=hp_c3
Unfortunately I don't feel any pain because I'm ready to lose everything. I would not sell even if it goes to 0 (if it's based on FUD or political news).
I can only listen to my instinct to buy and want more. So... I'll buy when I feel that it is worth going all in with all the fiat I have left in the world. I can't put a price on this yet.

In a way I have capitulated. Retirement has been postponed. 
I refuse to sell any coins, so I have gone back to work.
I only need about half my income to survive, so the cheaper they get, the more I will buy.
Things may be bad this year, but 2015 will be here in less than a year.
And 2016 is just after it. I expect that will be the year of Bitcoin.

Plenty of oldtimers coming out of the woodwork for this thread.
I've been here riding the waves since 2011. The point of maximum pain is not here yet. But I predict it will be here soon. Best brace yourself for it now. When you start mentally calculating what consolation prize you can buy if you dump your stash right now, it's close. When you imagine the humiliation of telling your friends/spouse/whatever how all of the monopoly money you've been bragging about is now worthless, it's very close.
Throw your mouse across the room, scream at your monitor, lay your head on your desk and cry. Then pull yourself together and buy as much bitcoin as you can afford.

IMHO I think we might still be a ways off from max pain. In 2011 we looked at a 95% drop which was essentially a complete wipeout. That would take us to $60 on this cycle.
If we hit sub-$100 again I'm pretty sure the negativity will be absolute. That is my buy more target. The bitcoin I do have I am unwilling to sell though since you never know when the trend will reverse.
Still waiting for Proudhon's call
Hope I have patience

Proudhon talks sense, i'm glad i'm not the only one.
i feel it.
I feel a disturbance in the force also. I don't know where the bottom is, but based on intuition I sent some money to an exchange this morning. If I see things start to ramp up I'm filling my spending wallet.

Capitulation will probably start when we cross the 400 USD mark.
Oh no you dih'un say the C word. 
Prounhon probably knows that there is no good reason why bitcoin should be as high as it is. That is your intuition speaking to you.
I don't think you will ever find maximum pain with bitcoin reading posts in the forums, if the price goes to $200, then to $100, most people will just be talking how cheap the coin is and how great a buy it is.
.
Everybody wants to get rich quick now, It is not going to happen that easily, not until the price falls way lower and stays at that price point for a long time. Than it will need something to pump it again. Last time it was china, who knows what it will be next time.

This
Starting to feel like December. Controlling fear on the way down and greed on the way up is key.
I think I'll go shopping today.

We just need to get rid of these Mt Gox model exchanges and switch to brokerages because exchanges are very risky. That will foster distributed exchanges to be developed because they are less susceptible to panic and volatility.
Yes, this. It's happening, and the transition is clearly affecting the market. Still a ways to go on that one, but with Gox finally out of the way this process is well underway.
This is the number one problem and it is simply not happening fast enough. The pain from failing exchanges and constant fear in where you put your bitcoin won't be resolved ANY TIME SOON.
How funny that a coin built around no trust is undone by not having institutions you can trust.
This is the fundamental paradox of the Bitcoin ecosystem. Removing trust in payment is only a small microscopic piece into what makes Bitcoin valuable, the rest of the ecosystem requires trust and loads of it.
We need developers to realize this and either solve it with distributed exchanges and other ways to grow the economy of bitcoin without being scammed by the Mark's of the world.
It's happening.
It's coming.
