I don't care about that list.

I am having a hard time believing what you have just said in here. Seriously? A decline in price doesn't mean that it will continue to go to zero, as you have just said. There are other possibilities that could happen along the way. Recovery may not be possible in the current times, yes, but it will soon pick up pace and continue moving upwards.

There's much to be learned from what's happened to Ripple. I, and others, were always warning of their centralized nature. Yet there were/are legions of  supporters who wish  to believe otherwise.  I always got the sense that they just wanted to be a part of the next big thing. The other thing that always got to me was their incessant pandering to the Bitcoin community, here on the forums, and especially at conferences. Alas, their tech is nothing but an upgrade to the existing systems.

I would submit that the best way to support Bitcoin at this stage is to buy the coin itself. What Bitcoin needs is greater liquidity and with it will come greater stability and growth. It needs a much larger market cap to support all the companies that want to build on top of it.  The merchant build out has been premature.

Once Bitcoin has established itself as a sound, reliable form of money, only then  will it excel to the levels we all want it to achieve.

You still haven't read the white paper have you. It's like arguing with a 5 year old about Santa clause. Welcome to my ignore list.

Motive? Why would anyone lose money, an evil miner?  

I didn't say they would go to jail. But people are going to find out who minted the bad coin(s). It's not going to be good for their business and likely will end their operation. It is also true that depending on where they live it could be illegal. For example selling such coins may constitute fraud in the U.S. Although it may be unrealistic to assume the police will help.
Personally I am against "colored" coins. However if we have a 51% attack I think we would have such a system within months. I assume nobody wants counterfeit bitcoins.

but imagine if the bitcoin had raised back to 1200 dollars or even more. he would have won huge money

Now that is a reasoned criticism. I was surprised myself to see how quickly mining went to an industrial scale. It has really run ahead of adoption. I do think that there are powerful factors that work against a 51% attack however. The most important being self interest. A mega-mine that somehow gets a majority of the hash power could launch such an attack. But what would they gain? They would get caught, it would not go on for long and would, IMO, greatly hurt the price. In the end it is hard to see how they could profit from it. Especially having invested so much in infrastructure.

i know you are trolling but...a dump can't kill bitcoin, is just another price change, like many others, the fact that we dropped from 1200 to 200, does not mean that it will keep falling until $1 like you said, 1200 price was willy bot fault, so at worse it might drop at around 100, that was the price before the fake pump started


the only difference i could see with the past, is a risk of 51% attack that can become more prominent, because now there are big farm that can control easily the network if the diff fall too much

I thought not. If you won't put your money where your mouth is then why listen to you? In fact why are you here, to "warn us"?
Ok batman thanks.  

well then it will never fail as it will be worth at least a few cents in the worst scenario. its impossible to loose for you then

What an original thread. Newbie account - check, Bitcoin is a scam/ponzi/etc-check, we should admit that bitcoin failed-check. Who makes these posts ? I mean do you seriously think what you can make us think hat bitcoin failed because of a price drop ? Next time try better than this.

The price is actually rising , what crash do you mean ? I think you misspelled skyrocket to moon with crash   

The important question here is: But will you FUDsters come back in 1 0years and admit you where insanely wrong? or will you not come back to accept defeat? That's whats up.

well then it will never fail as it will be worth at least a few cents in the worst scenario. its impossible to loose for you then

As usual the most confident pronouncements come from the least informed anonymous posters.  
"Bitcoin is a failure!" so says the brand new account.
