Ignore the naysayers. .. it's not their capital on the line.

I just continue to be floored by the growth in the ecosystem. Two years ago our only options to acquire bitcoin were home mining or sending money to a flacky website in Japan through Dwolla which limited transfer sizes. Today there are plenty of professional options integrated directly with my bank accounts. It feels like a night and day difference. And this growth in infrastructure continues to accelerate, IMHO faster than any startup ecosystem I've seen before.

The key is to ignore the naysayers who focus on the price. The price in the near-term is immaterial. Ecosystem and infrastructure are all that matter at this stage.

If the naysayers start to focus on bashing the ecosystem and infrastructure build-out (or lack of) I'll gladly listen because that is what matters.

Exactly. All of these people saying "Oh, but they're not investing in bitcoin/why aren't they buying". Roll Eyes

You don't think that once the necessary groundwork is laid that all of these investors won't take us where we need to be? Lol

Well said. Relative newcomer bitcoiners, both trollish and non trollish, often can't see the amazing growth of the network and infrastructure in only 6 years because they weren't there see how rickety it was only a few years ago during initial bootstrapping. The party is only getting started and this is an excellent entry point for anyone who wants to cost average as we're near the point of maximum opportunity if not at it now.
