As we can clearly see it has not been a good investment this year. Rich people threw a lot of money at them as some sort of get even richer scheme.
2014 a Bad year for BTC investment for what specific reason? The 2014 Average is 3x higher than the 2013 average. The market price right now as it is dropping is still almost 2x above the 2013 average.
Or are you sampling those that are impatient investors(possibly yourself) who want BTC to be some get rich scheme within 6 months?
Only because the next generation of Bitcoin buyer will be people who actually want to use them as currency. When people actually use Bitcoin instead of hoarding them... that's when the tide will change.
False Dichotomy. I horde(Used to be called
save and be praised), spend(and buy more when I do) , pay employees, and accept payments in BTC.
There are plenty of criticisms of BTC I could mention and have in my posts, but your sweeping generalizations are false and misguided. Be more specific.
Yes, BTC was been a horrible investment for those looking to invest and cashout within the last 6 month window(The market will punish these bad investors that don't follow the rule of buy low take profits high and never sell at a loss).... welcome to the early days of BTC , it is indeed volatile .... expect more of it in the next 8 years.
What business do you have that you pay employees in Bitcoins? Surely you must have a site.
