All the blockchain.info charts are up, except for the price graph. Especially the latter makes me bullish.

And if we are to worry about paper losses, the skeptics have more to lose than their untarnished egos. For example, you have been around these parts since December of last year, you've had plenty of time to accumulate some bitcoins for sub $1000/$600/$300 prices. Your lack of buying over the past year means you've forgone the chance to reap the benefits of a sudden bubble to say $6k. That's a 10x increase in paper gains you are betting on not happening. Which I would guess would have more impact to your life than the loss of a couple million would to the Draper family. Fear of missing out is as good a reason as any to try to influence the price down for a skeptic.
I am not sure I understand the logic. "I may have an oportunity to make more than 1000% ROI in the near future, but since I did not bet on that opportunity before, I will try to prevent that opportunity from arising."
By the way, note that my strategy -- NOT buying a single satoshi -- has put me in a much better position, vis a vis that fabulous possible opportunity, than all those who went "all in" since last November, when I first learned of bitcoin. In the unlikely chance that I decide to invest now, I will get twice as much return on the dollar than those who bought in January and have been hodling since then.
I think you understand the logic fine and are being a little facetious, but is quite believable for trolls/skeptics try and prevent a rise in price.
Trolls like to make comments like "How will you look your family in the eyes when you have to tell them you lost all our money when Bitcoin crashed."
They don't want that type of comment applied to them. "How will you look your family in the eyes and tell them you knew about Bitcoins when they were worth under $1000, now that they are worth $100k. We could have been set for life, and not left with all this worthless fiat".
Trolls/skeptics live with that fear everyday. They want see price go down to make them fell good that they made the right call. No one wants to be on the wrong side of history.
P.S. Invest now, its fun.

Well good afternoon Bitcoinland.
Finally got a chance to check in and I see we've dipped almost 3%.
It appears that's enough to spark a teddy bear picnic. LOL.

If you go down to the woods today
You'd better not go alone
It's lovely down in the woods today
But safer to stay at home.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic.

I get the feeling that they trap more bears in China, than anywhere in the world nowadays... and then skin them and remove their bones and bile and organs and use them for medicine and skipping ropes and the like.
i believe there is more panda than bear in china, and panda is endangered species. go figure...
Unfortunately in China they trap all sorts of bears and it is not just the Pandas that are endangered, they also trap other bears for all sorts of "reasons" i.e Sun bear, Moon bear and Asiatic Black bear etc... all of the uses are pretty fucked up... none more so than the collection of bile from live bears trapped in tiny cages, they keep them alive like this for decades. Fubar.
