I survived the $30 to $2 crash, the $260 to $80 crash, the $1100 to $180 crash, and many more "recoveries" to come I will survive them as well.
For most people being part of this market for a longer while volatility isn't a disturbing factor, but for a lot newbies that's their daily reality. Price up is Bitcoin doing all fine, where price down means it's losing popularity.
It's broken logic not making any sense, but how do you convince them otherwise?
This guy knows, missed this first time around. Listed as a newbie but clearly he has been in BTC for a while. I would say the easiest way to be more realistic is to consider over a year time frame. Maybe get out a ruler and pencil and draw a line on a chart that hits the most points over the last year for the price. I do have this straight trend around 6k so it wasnt that bearish to be in this area in that longer term view.
Its easy for the guy who was here for Mt.Gox and the price drop after, he knows bitcoin can come back from that so has more confidence but not staring at short term price can help also.
Over a year we up massively, its very bullish really. If anything the pullback adds some experience to the market that it can deal with selling, some out want to say its ponzi and price is false. Well alot of people sold, got their money and this idea is proven incorrect.
Another point would be to look at BTC usage by population or individual users, forget price for that moment to consider is growth occurring or not
I don't think our support to BTC should only be limited as to when we only benefited from it. When I become part of BTC, I honestly no longer treat it as a team, but as a home, a family where everyone displays commitment, respect, and being their for each other in times of good and bad, lifting each others spirit to whoever is down and is about to give up. It has been very helpful and valuable, making life comfortable, and transactions easier, faster, and no chargebacks. Not only these, the lessons it taught me that help for my personal and professional growth, are a great advantage to be used and applied in facing my future. With this, staying with bitcoin is the best decision to make, and I hope everyone should realize this. Be hopeful and believe that it will happen.
