If you put real money in you have added something to the project. It is money that attracts investment and retailers. It does not matter if you put the cash in for speculative reasons. The problem is people who put nothing in expecting millions of dollars. Reading this forum they even seem to think they somehow deserve it.

While the bubble callers have been correct so far, I don't think there really was a speculative bubble. I think bitcoin keeps getting crushed under the weight of people who got in early and now want something for nothing.

You think wrong.
Those who have enough bitcoins to crush it were in it mainly for ideological reasons.
Those who like to speculate are all latecomers.

Guess that's what retailers want, eh? People with ideals. No need for that crappy, worthless money.

But here's a thought. If you're not in it for the money you are getting for doing basically nothing at all give all your bitcoins to charity. Oh, but that's right. You need the free money you are extracting from the bitcoin economy to buy nice things for yourself.
