Thanks for your replies. I think your first sentence is the key answer to what I was wondering, and the realization I'm coming to reading all these replies. A lot of the hyping up and meming really does a huge disservice to the people who have a need to learn and understand the practical implications of things.

I think most of the memers are generally right in one way or another. Encouraging people not to worry about short term fiat valuations is important. Shifting from a fiat standard to a BTC standard requires realizing that getting more BTC is the goal, & if you haven't lost any BTC then you are winning.
