There have been 3 bubbles now and each time it's the same thing at varying levels of intensity. People always generate technical charts detailing price movements, talking about this/that price point as if it meant something. "What will Bitcoin reach in 2014?". Hindsight analysis is always applied with X event explaining Y movement. Cyprus this. China that.

I'm getting sick of it. It adds no value. I, for one, am glad that the price tanked, if it'll mean people will talk less about it.

Hopefully the hype is gone so when can start building the actual Bitcoin economy, the real guts of it - merchant adoption, international remittance, developer infrastructure, allowing transaction types that were previously impossible (e.g. MULTISIG, ANYONECANPAY etc ...).

Thanks for reading.

Talking about it, however hysterical, keeps it in the spotlight. Good or bad, it puts bitcoin into peoples conscience, which drives adoption. Isn't that the big thing?
