Re: Some greedy inviduals might have just blown our chance for MAINSTREAM adoption.

I'm sure many on here can guess who those individuals are....

Standard Bank of South Africa is currently looking to integrate bitcoin into their banking network. Its the greatest news for the bitcoin community but i'm afraid someone have just blown that chance up. This wild swing market full of pigs will scare the executives away when they're evaluating bitcoin.

I was hoping our community would have seen a bigger picture and not be manipulated so easily.

This is call a correction, welcome to finance. Also bitcoin is about being YOUR OWN bank, we don't bankers here.

The sad thing is that half of these newbs getting involved seem to want to be. They don't care about Bitcoin; they just want to get rich quick, and then they'll probably act like rich bankers and blow it all on drugs and shit.

That is why I love when it drops big like this, keeps the real believers and kicks out the get rich scheme kiddies.

Yeah, but there's always a constant wave of them. Each time a batch gets scared off another set comes rolling on in and the process repeats. Sick of their whining and crying and FUD-spreading when their coins haven't magically doubled within a month and they start panicking when the price drops a bit.
