I am a big bitcoin bull, but DaRude has a point. There are several battles ahead on the road to becoming a significant international currency. Bad news could come at any time and knock another 50% off the market cap. I think we will prevail, but more trying times lay ahead...
How does it go? "The road to success is paved with failure" I never implied there will not be bumps down the road. I was simply calling into question the "wisdom" by some who were sure we would be in for a long slide right now. Odds are against it. Odds always have room for things to go the other way, I just bet on the greater odds.
