... after holding my value in bitcoin for two years ive made 10,000 percent on my investment and there is nothing that can offer me reward like that in traditional banking cults.

Try the lottery.
If you win, you can brag about making a million percent on your investment, and tell us how clever you were to buy lottery tickets

Which lottery would that be, where everyone who bought tickets won? Can't recall any.

Exactly why most of you should really rethink why you hold bitcoin... what exactly are you hoping and waiting for???

Thanks fewcoins! It's businesses like yours that are winning the world over to bitcoin! Kiss

Winning the world over to bitcoin? Interest and value has been falling all year... Huh

More people know about bitcoin than ever. Twice this week co-workers approached me saying they had finally heard about bitcoin from someone else. I'm ok with the growth I have seen in the past few years.

This is very true. Even I can't deny this fact since I am not an ultimate troll like some of you claim but rather a realist.
Many of my employees are now mentioning bitcoin almost everyday instead of talking about USD, EURO, etc. This is true that more and more people are finding out about bitcoin. I asked if they would want a small percentage in bitcoin rather than USD but I only get laughing responses. Most of the world is not ready to use this as a currency yet. Hopefully they see how good it can be if we all jumped in and supported the network but unfortunately humans are not very proactive anymore & they tend to like direct deposit and banks stealing their money. Actually it's not they like it but they aren't proactive especially for ANY change. Especially if governments and banks say no no no bitcoin that isn't good you shouldn't use that.

This is why I see Bitcoin as very hard to invest in. It is more for trading or "speculating" which means it actually has no real value yet. Zero. This is also why the blockchain and other technology will be "used" (stolen) to be applied to other payment systems and make them more secure. I think Australia is already doing something like that for their banks right now
