shut the fukk up and go play somewhere kid.
That's a mature response to a valid question.
And that's because you don't have a real answer for a $600 per share drop in bitcoin value other than bitcoin is highly volatile which means it is highly risky to invest in, and there's a real possibility that it could drop another $600 per share in the future.

There are many reasons for the drop to 600$. I don't expect you to understand them because frankly you are proven your stupidity and inability to even grasp the simplest concepts of Bitcoin throughout this thread

It is highly volatile, it is highly risky to invest in.

There is a possiblity, albeit HIGHLY unlikely, it could drop another $600. There is a much higher probability IMO that it will get back to 1200 and even soar above it.

The Bitcoin infrastructure and adoption rate is growing everyday, this is all I am concerned about. Once that trend reverses, I will be concerned about Bitcoin. But at the moment, every sign point towards more success, better infrastructure, increased widespread adoption. Bitcoin is a new technology that is only beginning to take shape, it cannot be uninvented. The TECHNOLOGICAL value of its benefits will never disappear.

I will repeat it. You have been proven wrong all throughout this thread. I expect this to happen again. Because I read reasonable Bitcoin concerns everyday from intelligent people that have educated themselves about the matter and understand the technology, and you are NOT one of them. You haven't put forward even ONE acceptable argument as to why you believe Bitcoin will fail. And that is because you are simply incompetent and lack knowledge about what you are speaking of.

Well, you see, I have to quote your own quote.
I think every major news outlet is a flaky source of news when it comes to Bitcoin

you dumb motherfukker

shall I point out the hundreds of people who have made millions from Bitcoin.

You are reffering to an investement group that decided to cop Bitcoin at the peak and consequently lost money. Which I am not worried they will recover ten fold a couple years down the road

Bitcoin is a success story if anything, your attempt to downplay it with isolated events ain't gonna change anything.

You cannot even explain your statement of Bitcoin is trash, because you are too fukking stupid to even understand Bitcoin.

Stocks can go up and down and are volatile. They can fold and clean out an investor. bitcoin is currency. Currency shouldn't have the same volatility of stocks and bonds, but bitcoin does. That's why bitcoin is garbage. People are gambling with it, kind of like poker chips. That what makes bitcoin and other virtual currencies different than real currency.
It obvious you have a vested interest in bitcoin because you are making money off transactions. When the volume of bitcoin traffic passing through your hands go up, you make more money. If the volume goes down, you make less. So there would be no reason why you would tell people to stop investing in bitcoin, a volatile currency. That's because you are in on it.

the reason Bitcoin is volatile is because it is a currency, a commodity, a technology stock all rolled into one. All existing financial models cannot be applied to it. This is your failure, and the reason you will continue to be wrong. Bitcoin is progressively getting less and less volatile and will continue to do so with widespread adoption.

That's a complete lie and opposite of what is currently happening.
Bitcoin just went through its biggest drop in value in its history. Where do you "come up" with the statement it is progressively getting less volatile. It's actually been the most volatile in the last five months compared to the last three years.

the prices will continue to fluctuate but it is not a concern and has no impact on its current use as a currency so what's the problem ?

Well, if more bitcoin exchanges close down because they cannot provide withdrawal of cash, kind of like Mt. Gox, the investors lose all their money. That's the problem. And people did lose money in the tens of thousands of dollars. People like you want to gloss over that fact because "negative" news is not good news.

Should we stop using USD because Madoff took off with billions in investor money ?

you are weak, your argument is weak, why do you even try

looks like someone else than me is not so concerned about Mt. Gox

Wrong. Madoff stealing money didn't devalue the dollar.

Mt. Gox closing directly affected the value of bitcoin.

So you have a very pro-bitcoin stance. Not because you believe it is the future, but because you are financially vested in it.
What are you, a miner? Worried about bitcoin collapse.
