RE: Bursting at the seams

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago

Hey, you might just be right. Not about trading in general, you're definitely right there, but about me specifically.

Thank you very much for your efforts and explanations, I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

I know you and I see this world very differently, and that's okay. In the same way that you wish I could see the manipulation of charts, which I can't - at least not like you can; I wish you could see my holistic future for blockchains.

Unfortunately one of us is going to be wrong. I would be remiss to assume that it isn't me, thereby demonstrating the very optimism bias I like to warn against. At the same time, and taking into account what you say, I can't deny the conclusions of my own research and deductions. You might not agree with them (okay, you clearly don't agree with them), but I'm sure you can see the folly in doing the opposite of what you believe. Best case scenario: I'm right and you'll lose nothing because you have no crypto. Worst case scenario, I lose my favourite hobby as all my coins crumble to zero while you say "I told you so!".

I hope you will reconsider blogging a bit again. I enjoyed your posts. You may not have had quantity in readers but you did have quality ones! 😁

I'm sure I've said this before, I'm actually a crypto enthusiast and want to see it flourish and grow and I hope it does. I probably care more about crypto than most of the people on here !

The difference is, I want an anonymous means of peer to peer wealth transfer outside the regulation of banks and governments, whereas everyone else doesn't give a shit about it, to them it's only a means to make a quick buck, get rich quick (lol, are they in for a shock).

Speculation has completely ruined crypto for now. In order for it to work properly and be used as an actual currency then the price needs to stabilise, so all the speculators should just fuck off and leave it alone.

The irony is, the price won't rise unless the mainstream financial industry gets involved, and it won't get involved because it's too unstable ! Talk about a catch-22...

That's just my views anyway, I love crypto but it got ruined by greedy assholes who don't care about it. Until everyone leaves it alone it'll almost certainly remain on the fringes. I look forward to the day when everyone drops it, becomes stable, and can be used for it's original purpose as a means of transaction.

So we both want crypto to do well, just for entirely different reasons :-)

Not at all! Sure I want to get rich from crypto, of course I do. But I would rather see crypto take down governments. That's a bigger win for me!

I'm a crypto fan, I want to see crypto do well.

But more important to me than the performance of cryptocurrencies in the short-term is what they stand for, and more specifically, what they stand against!

Cryptocurrencies stand against centralisation. They stand against government control and regulation.
