What ever happened to all the people who used to say "when the time comes to sell my bitcoins, I won't need to?" Broad merchant adoption is a necessary piece of that. I'll admit I want to see this market bottom so that we can be on the euphoria inducing wall of worry that a bull market brings. But you've got to be patient. Bitcoin has a course to run that is plotted out for the next 126 years in the code.
