That's an encouraging thought, I'll give you that. It just seems to me that bitcoin is too tempting a market for biggish market participants not to thrash around, and I just worry that all that thrashing around will wear people out. But, maybe I've lost sight of bitcoin's appeal.
Spend too much time speculating, lose sight of the other aspects of bitcoin. People actually use the system. How much attention do you pay to the economy as a whole as opposed to just the currency speculation?
Looking at this subforum, it seems a lot of people are looking at their charts too much, and not much else. Beard tend to discount the actual non-speculative uses in their reckoning, while bulls don't always consider the unknowns, like what will happen when we start to see real regulator interest in Bitcoin.
