I'm not bragging.  Whether the bottom is actually in or not, lots of newcomers are going to have lost on this as they try to be day/swing traders and fail at it.  This is the, what, fourth time I've experienced this?  The infrastructure is stronger than ever and more people than ever recognize a value in a distributed ledger system.  Bitcoin is finally bumping up against governments, who are taking it seriously, and the market is working through that uncertainty.  Nevertheless, I think odds are in favor of the system making it through these challenges.  That isn't to say it still won't be a very rough ride for a while.
