If you really want to impress the echo chamber you should come out with a hard hitting article about how bad Bitcoin is.
I am working on that, but by the time it is ready it will be quite irrelevant, I am afraid, one way or the other. (Although I don't see how it could be other than the other.)Quote
Make a big claim about the price dropping below $10 before some future date.
My esteemed colleague Professor Bitcorn made the fatal mistake of overestimating the intelligence of bitcoin investors, when he predicted that it would reach 10$ by mid-2014. He should have heeded Barnum's Law. I do not intend to make the same mistake.
You could follow the lead of many journalists who are just merely writing books about how Bitcoin will fail.
The key is to one-up the other socialists in demonstrating your loyalty to the party line. This gives you more credibility within the group and gives you the all mighty status which is the quest of all socialists.
It might be difficult to compete for such status, but with the free market of competition you should be able to come up with a new and more ingenious way of getting your message of Bitcoin hate to the most people so that you might gain that status income so you can be the most status wealthy person among your peers. Maybe take advantage of new technologies to give you a competitive edge against your status competitors.
Professor Bitcorn may have had a failed prediction but he gained much status among his fellow socialists. He was invited to many dinner parties and conferences because of it. But he had the advantage of first out of the gate status, that tends to help against the competition.
