...Profit is still profit... coin value itself could have easily gone down too...
If Bitcoin value has gone down, you wouldn't get higher divs. And nothing, not even hoarding, hurts Bitcoin as much as supporting obvious scams. Thanks for making Bitcoiners look like clueless, bumbling rubes who don't even know when they're being duped.
Guys, guys guys...
Your problem is that you still see Bitcoin as if it was a currency. It isn't... it is a commodity, which is easily bartered and can be used as payment for goods, but at its heart, it is a commodity.
Everything is priced based on their real-world cost, and the current commodity value of Bitcoin, so you know how much bitcoin to exchange. I know of no good or service, anywhere, that isn't pegged to real-world value, and where the cost of the item is strictly in Bitcoin with no regard for the real-world value of the item.
All I care about at the end of the day, is my real-world balance higher? And yes, it is.
