- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoWell considering the amount of forums on the net where you can't even mention bitcoin without everyone who holds it swarming you - "Buy the dip", "This is good for bitcoin", etc. - I'd say everyone is pretty aware of the positives behind bitcoin and isn't too interested in hearing them regurgitated from yet another evangelist.
- aquadrop 9y agoBitcoin is good.
