THANK YOU. lets all read this a few times.

lets all get excited about the possibilities of bitcoins and not the price. lets learn who we are and what kind of world we want to live in.

I am in too deep now. the greed took over, thats ok though becouse i took a chance and thats that. but I do know that I realy do believe in this new form of currency, I also know that no one exchange should have more than 20% of ..... anything.

diversify your coins into many diffrent places. you can always move them with a bitcoin adress to your main one but traid on as many as you can, excluding gox they have to many all ready, enough said. and thanks again for your story!!!!!!

Amen to that.

Also small reminder to everyone: we where all exited when we hit 20$ in January! Even if we go back to that it's still great.

I for one enjoy my new mobile I bought for practically cents at this rally.

dude, I'm sorry to hear your story, I really am because I been there before, not with bitcoin but with other things in life, so I knows how it feels. you learn a lot about yourself, that is priceless. next time it gets to $280, sell half and then bury the private key in your back garden.

i think you missed the point...

One of the best post I have read in the whole forum. For one time, the post at this section are not crap and jokes. Clap, Clap, Clap.
I'm gonna buy again bitcoins and put them at cold storage as soon as possible, and some of them, to buy things. As I have already done tons of times in SilkRoad, VaporGenie, etc

I was one of the early adopters, mined lots of coins with an old CPU. I had those ideas of botnets, GPU, viruses to mine stealthy, but lacked skills to implement it. You might wonder how I found bitcoin in it's early stage. I found it because I needed it. I searched for a method of online payment without banks involvement, which I very deeply hate.

I played at casinos with 50 BTC, I asked people to give me 2 coins and I made logos for 30 BTC. I tried to make some businesses, had ideas but lacked skills (programming and such)

At Bitcoins most high price, I would have had millions. But my greed made me not sell at 32 to be happy, but sell at 2 out of need. I was about to sell at 280 all of my coins and buy a home, car, and get rid of debt.

Yesterday during the fall I was so desperate I got out of the office and had a little walk in the rain. And I stopped by this small park. Was thinking... to sell? Or maybe not, maybe it will go up again and can sell. Then I got it. I was doing it wrong. I was negatively contributing to a thing I SEARCHED for. I was speculating, I was greedy, I was seeing myself an "investor", "trader", "early-adopter". I was thinking how I could have owned a fucking jet and now have like nothing. It seems bitcoin taught more about myself and people than economy and technology. I showed me how is to go in 3 hours from pure happiness to depresses, how to be excited or don't give a fuck. Then again, got it. Was doing it wrong. What the fuck are my coins doing in MtGox, simply poisoning Bitcoin's decentralized design with a centralized solution?

Bulls and bears, traders and investors, businesses and customers. I was all of these. You also were. And almost everyone never was a contributor. Almost no one ever really did something good for and with bitcoin. So, my coins are heading back were they should have been the past 3 (THREE) years: wallet.dat.

We cannot deny that some people joined forces, spread some FUD, some bullish ops, hacked, stolen, scammed. We seen them many times. Their method of action was simple: "oh... let me hold those coins for ya, no worries"

So, speculators, Mtgox, russians, hackers, day-traders, operatives in April Foolcoin, uber-mega rich bankers: go and *** @# #@$@# 3## ## #1!

Guy-that-bought-a-pizza-with-10,000: I remember you and deeply thank you. Mister with alpaca-socks! Forgot about you lately.

Satoshi, whoever and whatever you are, I really thank you. Even if tomorrow bitcoin will be 1 dollar, I'll be on profit. Even if it goes at 0.1, I will still be winning: a great experience, a change to know myself and destructive power of greed. Those coins I sold when I was l needy brought me more than anyone could ever destroy.

So, bulls and bears. Play with the price, bring it up, bring it down... Profit and loose. But we're doing it wrong. Bitcoins are like cash. And nobody uses them for that. Until then, the few coins I have are staying in my wallet, and if they can buy a house, they'll buy a house. If not, a pizza.
