price def appears to be hurting since the ruling. But I don't understand, did people think the IRS would just, like, do nothing?

Last November, in what he later described as a drunken state, a Redditor by the username, Anndddyyyy, wrote a post claiming that if Bitcoin was below $1000 come January 1, he'd do exactly that. "I may be an idiot," he wrote in an update to the original post, "But I like to think I'm an idiot with integrity."

The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?”“Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down… provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.”“Easy, chief,” I said, “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.”

This seems like the stupidest shit ever. It's a "debit card" that "lets you pay in bitcoins." But it piggybacks on credit card networks, so it has basically none of the supposed benefits of bitcoin as far as I can see? Plus it pays out in dollars, which means it has to sell your bitcoins when it makes the payout.

its not exactly doing well, the price is still doing okay but trading volume is way way down, hardly anyone is actually spending them. still I would expect the price to hold around $400-500 until Bitpay gets shut down or w/e
