I don't care. And many things could have happened between 1.1 and 52 (stolen wallets et al.). One could argue that whoever bought and held has been remunerated for the risk.

Interesting admission.
Wanting to see some group suffer seems to be the motivation for a decent amount of the bitcoin hate on HN.
Guess you simply hate some other groups more than you hate bitcoiners.
'Hate' is a strong word. Fact is, there are people out there with lots of money that needs to be 'parked' somewhere. Enough has been said about real estate boom caused by empty houses being bought by Chinese while the locals can't make rent. If Bitcoin absorbs this kind of surplus money, it is kind of positive. But all bubbles eventually burst.
