The stories of people buying at $5-10, 30, 80 $100 make my eyes water.

the stories of people buying them at pennies or not even pennies make me want to cut myself in not nice places. but I fight on to live another day.

True.

Think of late adopters a few years from now on; they may envy you for buying BTC at $600.

Everything is relative; 600$ seems like a lot to some compared to 30$ but extreme changes are going to happen to the world financial world and currencies in the next few years, Bitcoin price may rises tremendously because of those changes

Bitcoin can become big and be valued a few thousands or become huge and be valued tens of thousands with a few years

You guys are very optimistic, it makes us feel good Wink

We need to people to get the Bitcoin Wallet app on their phone, ATM's in every city and implimentation by banks. But before that let's us load up on Bitcoins

This is still the early adopter phase, however there is a change that Bitcoin fails. The possible 51% attacks and shady businesses work against us. It's my guess that everyone who is Bitcoin now will be rich or they will lose most to all of their investment.

In a few years more we will say: oh did you remember when Bitcoin was about 500-700 bucks each and tought that was expensive?

Now that's the price for one damn Satoshi !

Haha, what is certain is that by the end of this year, minimum price for that cripto will touch the 2-2.5k

Back in 2011 I told a few friends about bitcoin, only 1 in 5 got interested.

It seems whether a person will become interested is predetermined, independent of what you say

I am amazed how few people in the US know about bitcoin and even fewer understand it. I work in a very technical field which allows me to travel and I am constantly surveying technical folks of all ages what they think about bitcoin. I would say only about half of the people have even heard about it, of those about 80% of the folks say stay away or "if you can find someone to give you real dollars for bitcoin, do it!"...

I've also noticed that bitcoin does get news coverage but it is almost always buried on the major media outlet's sites. Most major headlines are very negative so I can't blame Joe Public for shying away.

All in all, we are very early in this game and I'm excited to see opinions sway in favor of bitcoin in future months/years.

I personally think there will be an "Aha moment" whether it be a killer app or a market correction where big banks move to bitcoin as a store and the sheep will follow quickly. Just a matter of time but the train is still in the station at this point in time. Cool

haha,, in Indonesia also had a chance to reject the bitcoin payments for fear of damaging the circulation of money
Bitcoin concept actually is an alternative media that provides convenience in transacting online. In contrast to process financial transactions that we know so far, Bitcoin provide an alternative that allows every person on earth to send and receive Bitcoin each other without banking bureaucracy takes time and costs.

Concept as an alternative medium of payment is then started to change, when it emerged the notion that Bitcoin could be an investment asset. Bitcoin purchases in bulk by way of exchanging a number of Fiat (government regulated the currency of a country) is then led to the purchase price and the selling Bitcoin higher. This price increase is reasonable occurred in the law of supply and demand - Bitcoin is a digital currency that embraces the concept of a limited number (scarcity), instead of a digital currency that can be 'printed' or published in a number arbitrarily.

The adoption rate of Bitcoin and Cryptos in general is only going to continue to grow. Sit tight and be right.

We all hope that will happen, bitcoin was on a realy insane uptrend that resulted in over 1200 $ price, but soon enough , it was followed by bad press, and finaly, that mt.gox "fall" that pushed it back.
Generay, bitcoin is still quite new, and the real sharks are yet to come to this doman.
Hopefully we get some real , steady grow, and not just push n' pull action

I am hoping that we can follow this latest month or so of growth that we have seen. It has been more gradual than the rise in Nov/Dec of last year. Admittedly, shooting straight up is far more exciting, but those rises are usually followed by sharp corrections.

Sharp rises followed by sharp corrections has been the way it is going up; if next rise goes from 600>5000>2800 we should be very happy Grin

Some will sold at 1,500$ thinking it is the top, some @ 2,000$ 3,000$...and some lucky ones @ 5,000$ Wink

you only own .08 BTC?

how can you get more?

Well, I've worked for mine, and I have no intent on buying any. It's more like a seperate currency with side jobs for me. It's also easier to work for it as opposed to buying it, but that's just my opinion.

Quote from: beetcoin on June 19, 2014, 04:19:28 PM

thinking like that is kind of setting yourself up for failure though. bitcoin will never replace fiat, but it could be really big. also, there's evidence that bitcoin could be huge, but there's also very good reason to think that it will crater and crash. the future is unknown, so don't expect too much or you'll get stomped.

I'm thinking like that only to cheer you guys up. I have a much more semi-pessimistic state of mind otherwise. I expect it to remain at this value (In a slightly-more optimistic scenario) for a long time, but it could always just drop into oblivion. The future is the future, and I haven't met any time travelers yet.

However, bitcoin MAY replace fiat. Not by being the cheif currency of every nation, but changing it out so that cryptos become common within nations, maybe going so far as being the gold reserve for said cryptos. Or another coin will take over, I don't know. The future is anyone's guess.

ha, it's not even worth anyone's time to cheer up people who did not get-rich-quick.. and are still holding out for it.

friend told me about it in 2011 I shrugged it off as eeeh whats the point.
friend did not become rich.. so feel a little better about that heh :p
but yeah if only I had listenened.

I do know people who bought 10,000's for like next to nothing... depresses me each day it was not me.

at some point you have to get over it.. because 1) you can't do anything to change it, and 2) it will eat you alive. i've come to grips with my share - sure i'd like more, but i don't need to feel bad about it anymore.

Guys, don't feel bad about not having 10,000BTC! In case you haven't noticed, only about 10,000,000 own a portion of any bitcoin. Less than 1% of America, and less than 0.05% of the world! Once bitcoin is mainstream, people will be sad they're not YOU! You are VERY EARLY to the game! Those few BTC you have will be MUCH larger in value in the future! Just look at the charts!

Don't feel bad for small amount, if you own 0.08 or more, you're still better off than I am!

And if you look around the forum, there's plenty of people giving proof why Bitcoin will continue to rise in the future.

It's going to work out!

I am bullish on Bitcoin but I fail to see wide mainstream adoption until people start to get their salaries in Bitcoins. It's something like all the geeks are already here, but for average Joe to join, things must be much much simpler. Given that + the fact there are many many considerable players in altcoin field, I'm not too confident another bubble is coming soon...

Maybe companies can use bitcoins without the clients to know for international transactions and it can become a more widely mean of storing wealth, I think Bitcoin can get to a valuation of a hundred billions without massive adoption or speculation on a massive adoption
