JoelKatz, Evorhees, and Gavin,

You got mad Bitcoin smarts. There are a bunch of rtards on this forum (anyone reading this is of course wicked brilliant, and beautiful if you are a lady, which you aren't...) so I'm glad to hear your well thought out and level-headed responses.

Aren't "THE SKY IS FALLING!" people annoying the crap out of you?

Have some sympathy for people who lost ALOT of their hard earned money.

Anyone who lost their hard earned money investing/speculating/mining Bitcoins did so of their own free will.

Anyone crying about it now and blaming it on manipulators/speculators/early adopters/the Bitcoin "rich" or anyone other than themselves needs to take some personal responsibility.

I started accumulating around the time that Mt. Gox was down, and in a relatively hurried manner because I was concerned that it would become harder to do for regulatory reasons, and also was worried about the price going up. I've been wrong about both, and am obviously deeply in the red. Nobody should feel the least bit of sympathy for me since I was fully aware of the risk and even the developers warned strongly of the possibility when they mentioned it at all. If anything people should be snickering at my condition and that is perfectly fine with me. If anyone loses money going the other way, you can bet I'll be doing so.
