It's pretty funny reading old posts on buttcoin claiming Bitcoin will go down in flames, discouraging people to invest, claiming the whole network will be hacked, burnt, inflated, that the price will fall so low that Bitcoins will be the same as testnet, ridiculing people that invest funds into the economy, now the same people are bitching here on bitcointalk making the same predictions after they have deleted the old posts.
Honestly I have been speculating probably since there has been a handful of members on the forum and I am not one bit sorry for not having enough coins to really enjoy the recent price rises along with loosing wallets with hundreds of BTC in the early days, I am just happy to be a part of this. Quite frankly all the arguments against Bitcoins are ridiculous to anyone who is even remotely intelligent, e.g. such blatant claims as "Bitcoin is not backed up by anything".
I am hoping I will be lucky enough to live and see a world where cryptocurrency use is more common than all of the currencies combined one day.

Exactly if I hadn't been such an Idiot in the past (investing Bitcoins to make more Bitcoins
) I could lean back and drink champagne by now and really enjoy the ride. Right now every Price Jump is like a kick in my balls, but yet I'm not complaining (except this post).Bitcoin probably is the greatest experiment we have the opportunity to be a part of in our lifetime and no matter how it ends everyone of us can be happy to participate in it at such an early stage.
Haha I can relate, made a little more than a thousand $ with the recent price rises but still it's nothing in comparison to what I could have made, kinda funny looking back at it in retrospect, loosing coins carelessly in casinos, storing wallets full of bitcoins and then wiping the HD and forgetting about them since "they are only worth 5$ total".
No point in crying over spilled milk though. I am looking at the whole situation from the perspective of a creative person rather than a competitive one and you really can't not feel happy about it if you adopt this way of thinking.
