OgNasty, those investments had only went down in value regarding of the BTC usd price. The poit you fail to understand is that if you invested 10 BTC when BTC was $1000 and even if BTC went down to $1, offcourse you are not happy
OK, so you aren't happy regardless of what happens unless you see gains in both USD and BTC. OK, I got it now.

You know very well this is not what I'm saying. It's about the investment part, not the BTC usd price. If you are so addicted to the usd part of the investment look at it this way: if you don't invest you have one chance to gain usd from a rising BTC and one chance to loose from a falling BTC but if you had invested you have to chances of loosing usd one from the falling value of the investment and one from the falling price of usd (if BTC rise in value you would be better not to invest anyway). I really hope you understand now what I say and don't twist my words so you can be right about this.

Please don't take phrases out of the context, that is what reporters do to get "sensational news" for the public.
