Fear leads to the dark sidesteemCreated with Sketch.

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Well, that was rough. Bitcoin and every other cryptocurrency had a tremendously difficult week. Bitcoin went from over 19 000 to just under 6 000 in just a few days. And the same happened to other cryptocurrencies. Media, as usual, went wild and wrote about the bloodbath, massive selloff’ and of course bubble bursting. The experts were talking about Bitcoin falling even further, maybe to 0. There were a lot of I told you so comments coming from the cryptocurrency skeptics.

The problem with the Media and the so-called experts is that they do not see the big picture. They see a sudden slump in the prices and start to panic. They do not understand a thing about Bitcoin. This is the reason why they are almost always wrong. Just a day after their apocalyptic prophecies Bitcoin is rebounding, it is now over 8000. Almost every other cryptocurrency is following Bitcoin’s lead. So, what experts were calling the end of Bitcoin was actually an excellent opportunity to buy them.

The major problem with the old guard of the financial system is that they fear the change. They do not understand Bitcoin and that is why they fear it. This is not a new phenomenon, everything new and big is usually met with misunderstandings, skepticism, and fear. Even giants like Warren Buffet made similar mistakes. Buffet actually advised against buying Google shares, as well as, Amazon shares. He later admitted that this was probably one of his biggest mistakes. The problem was that he did not understand the significance of these companies and the change their products would bring to the market, therefore, he made a wrong judgment.
