why doesn't the mainstream media ever use such great headlines as this?:

Break out the lube, boys  

watching youtube videos of cpu miners back in 2011 gave me the same sense of inevitability:

That even if someone wanted to bring down bitcoin, they’d have to outdo these guys and the dozens of other operations like this around the world. The decentralized nature of it all… that this is just one operation among many, run by different operators in different countries around the world. This really drove home that bitcoin can’t be killed by decree. Make it illegal in one country and people like this will keep hashing away in others.

LTC didnt reach target for me means its dragging it all down. Physcologically we are not ready for the next uptick, for me, until that level is tested, unless we go up and then come crash down later on which is not bullish long term... anyways just what worked for me in trading forex over the years... you build up an intuition of levels that must test before the real trend resumes. Something you cant really teach.

The first Bitcoin mining video I seen in 2011 was Mike Caldwell with his FOUR 5970's mining. I never seen CPU mining on youtube ever in 2011.

I'm fascinated by this death-spiral as it reminds me of the movie "Black Hole" when the event horizon was being approached:

Bitcoin is experiencing waves of up and downs all the time, as Gold. But in the case of Gold those waves remain at the same levels. Bitcoin gets to all new heights. I think it's better to stick with our favourite crypto-currency!
