Look at the people who derive their influence from the Bitcoin ecosystem. Do you agree with their views? Do you find them generally friendly? Are you happy giving them more power by buying Bitcoin? This was what made me stay out of Bitcoin.

I am confused as to what you are referring to? I am not deeply involved with Bitcoin and I don't live in the valley so maybe I am missing something. The only real view I have noticed people universally share in the bitcoin scene seems to be the need for a decentralize currency. Can you elaborate?

  OP probably means it's a bunch of libertards, charlatans and crazies. Is your post some type of Socratic method to tease out rational discourse or do you really not know that the Bitcoin community is full of insane people?

    I do indeed love a good socratic discourse.

As opposed to the people who derive their power & influence from traditional currencies?
