because that'd make people less willing to take BitCoin seriously
Speaking as someone who's heavily involved in (as a hobby) running professional and semiprofessional Magic events, I'd like to point out that professional Magic players seem, on average, much more likely to end up working in finance and doing quite well there.
So maybe the implied sneers at the game's lack of seriousness or lack of financial seriousness (that's way off as well, for the record) are... more telling of the average Bitcoin aficionado's mis-grasp of economics and reality than anything else.
- gojomo 13y agoExcept: it's more common that such sneers come from Bitcoin-mockers than Bitcoin-aficionados. (You were making such a nice point about superficial, unfair generalizations of Magic players... which was then undone by a superficial, unfair generalization about Bitcoin-aficionados.)
