We should lend bitcoins for the subprime mortgage market, and come up with some derivative based speculation funds as well.

Please.  Everyone liquidate your coins.  Get out while you can !!!!!!!!!!!!

Because every one of you that bought at 200, sold at 500 in fear, and now will never afford to get back in?  

You just made my coins that much more valuable.

He who holds through the ups and downs will be King.

Only the strong survive.

I'm the weirdo nobody understood when I got in at 4$. Carry on, world! We're not budging.

Edit: I'm realizing how much my objective views of "Bitcoin should be a currency and not a speculation vehicle" and my subjective views of "MONEY" are conflicting. This is fun!

Yes, but these are growing pains. Right now you are correct, bitcoin does appear to be more of an investment tool than currency but that will change.

I disagree. Its been a speculation/investment tool from day 1 and I don't expect it will ever change. People thought it had reached stability at $5, haha. Now its over $500 and just as volatile. Even the gold market is volatile. Bitcoin will never be stable. Volatility is your friend, embrace it.

I understand the necessity of this stage, but we won't go anywhere until there are just enough crazy people like us using the currency - crazy people accepting this as a currency and not a crazy, one-off mega-investment tool. I'm not at that point, personally, and I doubt most people here are, but we will get to the point where it's a currency.

As I quote from someone on this forum: we're at the beginning of the "e" in "early adoption." It's going to take a long while, but it'll be fun as hell for anyone on the ride.

Let's get going.

Have you ever heard of stock market or bubbles?

You should probably research about that stuff first before getting into BitCoin.

Its basically the same thing.

So you are surprised the price can come down after it goes up? Really?

As a user of a currency, I would gladly take notice of massive price swings like this and possibly question the use of the currency.

I'm still a happy, happy investor.

Okay answer this: WHO is making money? When something for the most part just goes up and everyone is enjoying the ride someone has to be on the other side losing their ass right?

Not really, not until we experience a crash. In this case, due to bitcoins usefulness, I think we'll see steady reliable gains. Sure, there are moments of absurdity like yesterday and people who buy at an all time high twice that of the prior day, then panic sell when it corrects will loose their ass, but they're also probably panic bought without knowing anything about what bitcoin stands for - they're kind of like sheep following the herd trying to get on the get-rich train and those people piss me off, better off send them to Las Vegas. Those people will find a way to loose their ass no matter what they do.

Anyway, back to the point - No, in an increasing market, it's not a fundamental requirement that people loose money so others can gain it.

... unlike the Federal Reserve scam which relentlessly extracts wealth from you through inflation, day in day out... for your entire life. (Or until you get smart enough to do all your biz in Cryptos, outside of that system, which is the biggest scam the world has ever seen.)
