About all I've learned so far is that I don't want to ever become a forum member over at Bitcointalk. Don't think I've ever seen trolling at that level before.
Still have all my holdings, and am mining more.
The majority of the people in that forum is disgusting...a bunch of scammers, thieves, crack addicts/gamblers. The worst kind of people surround BTC, cause logically they are in it for the money, and dream of getting rich quick, believe the greater fool will save them.
That's part of the reason we wanted to make a difference with CHILD.
As for the fud, don't believe ANYTHING those guys say, 99% is rumors, ''news', whatever...they want to lower prices to buy in and then control supply. It's a market manipulation tactic, the same way as analysts and paid news manipulate the stock and forex markets via herd panic raising...dismiss it, be your own judge. If someone's selling, someone's buying, and a LOT.
2+2 guys, never panic, when people panic, and there's huge volume, you buy in cause prices are going back up surely. Just be patient and don't be overly greedy when trading. If you got a good % gain, sell and don't look back. The moment your emotions tell you 'it'll keep going, don't wanna miss out on the top, we're going to the moon...", do the opposite and sell.

All is well, in fact, this looks like the start of a new major uptrend, since manipulators grabbed a HUGE chunk of the floating supply, coming from weak hands who panicked.
I see 50s to 70s being hit soon. Be patient and hold or buy now.
