The evolution of the cryptocritic slowpoke:
"Bitcoin will never be worth more than a few cent".
=> 2011: $32
==> "Ha! Price dropped from $32 to $2. Bitcoin is dead!"
===> 2013: $260, $1100
====> "Ha! Price dropped from $1100 to $200. Surely now Bitcoin must be dead."
"Nobody has any interest in using Bitcoin"
=> Network grows exponentially, 5 years in a row
==> "Okay, nobody other than a few nerds and libertards is ever going to use or accept Bitcoin"
===> Microsoft online, Overstock, Dell, Newegg
====> "They don't really accept Bitcoin, they convert most of it to USD immediately. Big money despises Bitcoin."
======> $75 million investment in Coinbase, by New York Stock exchange, among others
=======> "They don't actually think Bitcoin is useful or is going to stick around. Didn't you know the only guys who made money during the gold rush where the sellers of shovels?! That's exactly how they see Bitcoin."
And so on, and so forth.
There's a big premium to be had in this market, and you guys are the reason. Never change, please. ^_^
