I've been seeing the bitcoin news hitting [more major] news outlets. Seeing an article like this http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/michael-santoli/bitcoin-price-bests-one-apple-share--but-is-it-worth-buying-185417569.html http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/michael-santoli/bitcoin-price... with a picture of physical coins worries me. Why? All the uninformed people that want to get in on this bitcoin action may be sold of physical coins by scammers like the coins in the pictures. I'm concerned for the technically illiterate.
- vezzy-fnord 13y agoI'm not feeling very jaded today, but I think you might be underestimating people's intelligence. If they want to get into Bitcoin, I think they'd read up on it being entirely virtual (minus the optional paper wallets) pretty quickly.
- jrs235 13y agoSadly, I worried about older folks. I bet you could get some metal "bit coins" like those in numerous pictures and go door to door selling them for several hundred dollars to some people. It'd be easy o come up with a story as to why you're selling them.
