When you're confronted with people getting rich off of other's unfettered optimism with zero grounding in reality while you see the truth of the matter, it can drive you batty.
It's like trying to explain to an 8 year old why Justin Beiber is just a fad. They have their hopes and dreams tied up in something you can't battle no matter how hard you argue.
- johndevor 13y agoI don't think it's appropriate to tell an 8-year-old they should be listening to better music. Why would you argue with such intensity over something that, presumably, doesn't or won't affect you in the least.
- Crito 13y agoI think the Justin Beiber analogy is probably pretty good. Certainly there are adults that get rather upset over what children like to listen to.. but should they? I am not a Justin Beiber fan, but why in the world would anyone waste their time being upset that other people are? The fact that there are adults who get upset that children like Justin Beiber probably suggests that irrational negative reactions do not necessarily suggest that there is an element of feeling as though your political ideology is being threatened (as others and myself have already suggested in this discussion).
- baddox 13y agoIt's interesting that you point to music, one of the most subjective and deeply personal areas of human culture, as your analogy for supposed objective qualities of Bitcoin.
