Someone is awfully defensive. Let me guess; you have a lot of money tied up in Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a hacker plaything. It has a bunch of known weaknesses, a sketchy history, and an enormous amount of controversy attached to it. Not to mention the future of currency isn't peer-to-peer. Also, you being overly sensitive to criticism of Bitcoin doesn't make me a troll.

  > He's not He most certainly is. I crack a joke about betting all my holdings of a currency I don't believe in on said currency not being widely adopted, and instead of taking it as the joke it quite obviously is, he kicks off. All of a sudden I'm "talking out of [my] ass", I'm "trolling", I have a "false sense of superiority", I'm "a completely [sic] troll", and I'm "jealous" and "mad" because I haven't invested in the currency. Good grief. Someone sure has a lot invested in Bitcoin!

    You clearly said "my entire Bitcoin wallet". You made no joke about investing all your money, you were plainly and ignorantly mocking the idea of even dabbling in Bitcoin. Your anti-hacker attitude is pretty annoying to wake up to. Look, all you can do is make up nonsense about me by assuming that I'm in some financially poor position. I treated my Bitcoin investments the same way I treat my money at the casino (not that I've been more than once). I assume it's gone. And besides, as I've already noted, I'm doing alright. (personally, $3K is not much money, not to be a jerk) Now do you actually have something to contribute or are you going to keep inventing personal attacks and repeating "bitcoin sucks lolz"?

I've made a decent chunk of change as it stands, and have $3K "tied up" right now. (Most of which were purchased in the last few days and have already turned a nice profit if I sold right now). >Bitcoin is a hacker plaything. It has a bunch of known weaknesses, a sketchy history, and an enormous amount of controversy attached to it. Not to mention the future of currency isn't peer-to-peer. You just took Bitcoin's feature list and went "NUH UH". I don't even care that you don't think Bitcoin is the future, but to just ostensibly claim that all cryptocurrency or all peer-to-peer currency is a failure is just incredibly, incredibly stupid and ignorant. >Also, you being overly sensitive to criticism of Bitcoin doesn't make me a troll. You've not noted a single criticism. You've made vague references along the lines of "No it sucks because it's bad and it's not good and other people don't like it!!!". You've not made a single coherent argument against Bitcoin itself, cryptocurrency, nor have you given a single reason why a centralized authority is going to win out over peer-to-peer, (especially given the benefits of p2p and it being the whole basis of the excitement around Bitcoin).
