You know how we avoid bubbles and enjoy stability and gradual growth?

ECONOMY

Right now BTC is good for trading, that's it. What do you do with your bitcoins? Do you purchase things with them? I do, I try to spend them, make them, create business' around them etc. What are you doing to help grow the economy besides sitting on this forum bitching about whether or not your "investment" will grow, or decrease.

Go out to your locally owned business' ask them if they would be willing to accept BTC if you helped them set it up. That's what we do in our local community. How about you introduce BTC to 3 people a day, really talk to them about it. Inform them, give them your contact, get theirs for a follow up.

You really want your investment to grow. Make it happen, be apart of the generating the buzz, the next round of media hype. Right now all people know about is the media hype, the bullshit that is force fed to them. The "oh yeah the internet money that tanked".

I'm tired of hearing the what ifs, the maybes, the hopefully's, the well if. You know what you are hoping for? You're hoping for someone to get off their ass and push BTC to grow. Be that person.

Dunno if you're talking to me but:

1) I use bitcoin both as an investment (why not take advantage of its current unstability?) and as a currency (the way it was supposed to be).

2) I've introduced bitcoin to all my friends.

But yea, your idea on helping businesses didn't come to me, and it's actually a quite good idea, I should do it.

Also, BTC _will_ grow anyways.

Nice motivational speech.

It wasn't directed at you specifically, it was directed more towards everyone. My point is that we the "bitcoin community" will be whatever we make it. It's really that simple.
