What a shitty thread. **Thumbs down**

Are you a butthurt bear trying to get the price down so you can get in cheap or did you sell everything at 300?

You sound like you are in denial.

It's another account the JIDF banking Zionists bought to use as a spam account like "Kwukduck"

Not, that's just truth hurts.

TLDR: Sell out your BTC; don't rebuy it. Invest in other blockchains. Also, don't get fooled by the "hodl" propaganda that makes you never get a profit while whales do because YOU buy&hold.

You have a point regarding government and bank adoption, but there's life outside of these sectors. Take a look at China. Yes, you are right bitcoin never going to be officially adopted but a lot of people adopted it on their own to get around the fiscal control rules. A lot of people also using it to evade the watching eyes of their authoritarian governments, other using it to avoid the fees of legacy money transfer networks, and so on. Of course there are lot of people with more sinister use cases, but we can tell the same about fiat, gold, whatever store of value. There will be always demand for a cheap and independent money transfer method.

Sure there will always be such demands as money laundering, transferring money outside such countries as China, drugs selling, and other illegal activities. But all these things won't make price go up. Basically, I want to say that dreams about $1-3-5k and so on per coin are sick.

So much nonsense in one paragraph.

Banks/governments will never use Bitcoin. Instead they will create own scalable blockchains.

These 'blockchains' by no means can replace or compete with Bitcoin, because they destroy what Bitcoin offers: monetary sovereignty secured by massive hashing power.

First. This "massive hashing power" is controlled by few Chinese pools. Second. Who said they destroy what bitcoin offers?

It is ridiculous to assume that the overhead from regulation/staff/legal is more efficient than electricity and math. Banks and governments will never be able to compete with bitcoin as they have legal obligations which carries counterparty risk. Bitcoin is soveriegn and allows for regulatory arbitrage. The OP is missing the mark by ignoring the truly powerful aspects of bitcoin which can't and won't be replicated by banks - Proof of work, No KYC = Privacy and less risk of identity theft, and an immutable blockchain.

Do you really assume that Bank blockchains will be immutable even when legislators , regulators and judges demand a tx reversal?

It is likely the OP is merely trying to scare some weak hands so he can buy cheap bitcoins before the next bubble.

PoW don't need to be replicated. Banks/govs can create a PoS system with several central forging servers. This is just an example and there are more solutions.

was OP's account bought?

if the government / banks are creating their own, then that's not decentralized. Even if btc isn't going to be mainstream, i won't use what they are inventing.
btc isn't mainstream even today but look at its value.

How did you know that? Surely I'm a zionist agent.

The only point I agree is that there should be no faith or worse blind faith, but the rest is just complete speculation on your part. Yes it can be valued at $200 but it can also find support at $800 or whatever with the halving coming. Perhaps in 2018 Bitcoin is no more. If you feel this is a good time to sell, I won't really argue with that because to me it's not a good time to buy, so you may be right on that.

Personally, I would never sell even at $1000 because it won't change my life, Bitcoin price keeps increasing every year since it started, it may fail eventually, but so far it's a great annual investment if you happened to bought at a decent price (I bought at $230 which it's still a lot of many)

And how long are you doing to hold it? Until the ends of the days? You should clearly understand that people who have money, power, police, army, etc won't allow bitcoin to exist. Bitcoin is kinda unstopable but people can be easily stopped from using it. Like banning bitcoin in China will shrink price in times which also will make network to get weaker.

I dumped in the last mini dump/sidewasys. Now I'm desperate trying to rebuy at the same price I sold, or at least don't lose too much.

Don't be like me.

Just wait few month and you will be able to buy it back with a big discount. Mark my words.

Quote from: vendetahome on December 18, 2015, 06:25:38 PM

i will definitely not dump my bitcoins i will save it up for later as i believe that the price will increase a lot in the future what will mean a big win for me and a lot of additional money

It's up to you. No one is forcing you to dump the coins. Hold now @ cry later.

Quote from: BruceLee007 on December 18, 2015, 08:16:50 PM

im afraid that you might be right i usually dont like to admit such things but the price seems to be unstable right now what means it can easily go down a lot i think i should sell my coins but im afraid to do it also because the price is unpredictable and can grow too

It increased in more than 100% last month. Isn't it enough to sell the coins? Will any bank offer you such an interest? You sound like you are even more greedy than I'm.

Is the OP expecting everyone on the forum to dump their bitcoins because he said sell? It's pointless trying to instigate a dump by posting bear posts here. and yet every day these posts appear in an attempt to manipulate the market. The OP is wasting his time.

The best proof that such people are nothing more than just poor trolls is the fact that they are spending their time on bitcoin forum.
I mean; wouldn't they go away from places like this one if they really ment what they say/write ?! I think not.
Think for yourself, and dont dump to these loosers , and i could say the same for the ones from btc-e chat (trollbox)

This forum is not just about bitcoin, see that?

Quote from: LuckyYOU on December 18, 2015, 09:41:35 PM

I read a lot of frustration in your thread? What happend?

BTW who are you to advise other users? What is your background? A professional trader or a frustrated person?

Questions, questions and more questions...

There is no frustration, there's just how things are.
And who should I be to advice people?

Facebook is possibly the worst bubble in history. It should be worth 1/20 of what it is today, or less. Like Bitcoin, it's mostly a 'virtual' thing with little underlying assets and it's value is driven entirely by the popularity to its userbase. Once it loses that popularity, it can simply collapse to nothing, like Myspace. Facebook has absolutely no business being half of the market cap of Google, which has 1,000 times more code and useful applications than Facebook.

Just like Facebook Google mostly generates revenue by showing ad. Suppose ad-blockers with no whitelisting its adventuring will be installed on 9/10 devices then Google will collapse. So both seem like hypes.

Quote from: abs350 on December 18, 2015, 11:51:55 PM

Fuck you OP.

Just because your jealous want to get us to sell our coins to you.

Go spam on another forum.

Admin please delete OP account and ban from bitcoin forum because he posted such a stupid post.

What a butthurt! I like this one.

Bears don't neccessarily want the price down so they can buy. They might want it down because they want to validate their sell as the right decision and have peace of mind.

they don't want the price to fall, they want only to accumulate more by creating a dumping opportunity at every new range of value

so actually for them the price does not matter as long as there are big swings they are happy

You made me lol so hard. Just imagined how I'm buying at $450 cause that's a bargain!
