Sorry you can't see the value and potential of Bitcoin. I hear there's a new social media platform selling ads; you should keep your money with them.

- sincerely 9y agoYou should be ashamed of yourself for this comment. This is the sort of discourse I would expect to see in the comment section of an article about something tied to identity politics, not a discussion about support for a digital currency. Is it really impossible for you to believe that someone could see value and potential in bitcoin while believing that the current price is not a an accurate representation of it's value? Maybe they are skeptical of any community that dismisses well-measured criticism with cries of "FUD". Maybe they see bitcoin as cryptocurrency v1.0 but it would be foolish to think that the first implementation of such a technology was the best possible implementation. Maybe they are skeptical of the way many bitcoin-holders seem to prioritize their personal net worth increasing over bitcoin's use as a currency. Maybe they think the future lies in a more extensible platform like Ethereum. Bitcoin and the blockchain are very interesting technologies full of potential but I don't understand why their proponents seem to take everything so personally.
- etr-strike 9y agoSorry, I don't believe proclaiming "Bitcoin is a bubble" is a "well-measured criticism" of Bitcoin. And people taking time out of their day to make such baseless claims are coming out of the woodwork lately. When the iPod was announced, people frequently commented on purchasing apple stock, or how you can't go wrong purchasing apple. No one was calling apple a bubble when taxi drivers were making those statements. Sorry for speaking up against people who make baseless bubble claims.
