We've seen the worst effect of bankerster's greed brought to the world -- trust in financial institutions was lost.
We are seeing the worst effect Pirate brought upon BTC community ... trust in bitcoin businesses is being destroyed.
Being destroyed? You mean already completely destroyed. My friends laugh at me now when I bring up Bitcoin.
Same with my friends.
They asked me how that scam was going..

ditto same ... I came into bitcoin at $150 usd oct 18th 2013 knc jupiter 550gh and thru the last year of madness
seems it is heading back to the MEAN $150 usd .....according to this chart everyone hates below (including me)

people being as silly as they are what I hope is happening is the below chart wash/rinse/repeat

it would help calm my mind if btc was irrational in TWO directions for no particular reason UP in price as well as DOWN in price

sometime likely in 2015 I will find out if I'm a chump or a champ holding on to my 52 btc
