I am simply thinking out loud because there are usually repercussions in other markets for this level of stupidity.

I fully understand the "limitations" of btc and it's still a maturing product.
That is wholy different that publicly dumping your coins and calling a product dead.

Bit coin may not be everything to everyone but it is still a legitimate portal of fiscal security. It was never created to be all things for all people eternally.

But yes I do see big investors like overstock.Com having a serious problem with their portfolio being manipulated by disgruntled influences acting with malice for personal reasons.

Bit coin is no more dead right now than it wasn't a few days ago.
So his statement is completely false and fully influential to the tune of hundreds of millions.
