Hi all,
Given the recent flurry of posts on how bitcoin's value will keep on dropping, how does one think about the ever-increasing bitcoin hash rate?

Looks like miners, the core backers and long-term investors in bitcoin, still have plenty of optimism left? And the current market is just speculators' short-term panic?

When the market is up, everybody is optimistic. When the market is down, two distinct groups of people form: pessimists (everything goes to zero) and optimists (everything will skyrocket). Neither one can predict the future, but copes with the stress of the down market by reacting the way they always react when things are bad.

Personally, I'm very optimistic and I'm in for the long haul. Smiley
