Oh, I'm well aware of how Bitcoin works. All the way down to the cryptographic constructs. I studied it for a while, and it lead me on to some more interesting topics, but the currency itself doesn't interest me. Understanding Bitcoin to assess "whether it's a scam" makes about as much sense as learning about the mechanics of an electronic exchange to figure out whether it's a good idea to invest in Facebook.
