Why people still think we can make it past 1000 anytime soon?

Wall street.

I think that ETF will be the final hope for bitcoin cultists. The final hope that there still is a reason for the price to rise. This hope will probably diminish painfully slowly. Bitcoin will probably not succeed in Wall Street and the reason is simple: most of the bitcoin owners are not known, and with all probability are criminals like drug dealers or computer crackers from the Tor Web days. Regulators will never let this go through, because when some "early adopter from silkroad" dumps 1mil BTC, and the price drops to 1 cent in minutes, then what will people do? Of course blame the regulators and the government for enabling criminals to infiltrate an honest exchange.


I think this post is incorrect on many levels and in many ways. It's full of all kinds of wrong

I think that you probably felt physical pain when you imagined this scenario.
It's alright *in an comforting voice*. Bitcoin will succeed with ETF, and the entire world will start to invest in bitcoin. You'll be rich beyond dreams, and all while having no education or even having to do any work. Everyone will buy bitcoins because they are just so stupid, that they like to make your coins more expensive for the sheer fun of it. People just will be this dumb, that they can't figure out that they can actually start using alternatives, that doesn't include filling your pockets. It's alright, boy.. it's alright.. there's no pain anymore..

A Great Time to Start Something!
Why people still think we can make it past 1000 anytime soon?

1.  Because the sentiment was EXACTLY the same after every past bitcoin bubble.  Case in point:

May-Oct 2013:  "Why people still think we can make it past 266 any time soon?"
Jul '11-Jan '13:  "Why people still think we can make it past 30 any time soon?"

2.  Because 'exponential growth of user base'.  Deal with it.

3.  Because the rise of newbie troll accounts that get created every time post-bubble, coming in and trolling with negative press links, spreading FUD, and trying to get people to sell.  Incidentally(if you are not into stocks) this type of activity happens on EVERY stock message forum as well, especially with pennie stocks.  It is all a psychology game.  The newbie bear trolls are the SHARK TRADERS, wanting cheaper coins.  Don't you guys get that?  Or are you just that gullible??  When you see this type of troll/bear activity heat up, you need to BUY not SELL.  Because the sharks know that the bear market won't last forever.


A few "newbie troll accounts" are real people who are scared and/or lost a lot buying high or they had money at Gox.
Many are fake, some are obviously fake.

I like that statement for many reasons.

To the OP: If you agree with the fundamental improvement of bitcoin over our fiat systems it would be easy to see why its value and price is/will be over $1000/coin/


People who think that bitcoin can replace fiat are the ones who learn about finance from youtube videos.
To replace fiat, bitcoin supply should be fixed according to some practical everyday resource like oil, coal, corn etc. Only then it would have price stability. The pseudo-resource of fixed rate coin mining is a foolish way to control money. If bitcoin would become world currency, then unfair wealth distribution would increase tenfolds.


You have a point. And I like your name. He was a good philosopher.

Thank you. The irony with my name, is that I consider myself as an optimist. Visiting this forum makes me feel like an pessimist though, because I constantly want to balance this overly optimistic enthusiasm that is shown by most here about BTC.
They think that them forcing this optimism towards BTC is helping to spread BTC, when I think that it is actually slowing down this entire process of financial evolution that started with BTC.

Because people are under the impression that bitcoin is guaranteed a growth rate of 1000% per year every year, based on a 4 year old chart history.

I tend to believe that there is one post per minute on this forum saying:

I tend to believe that Bitcoin will never visit USD 1000 again.

... starting July 2011.
