Again and gain, Bitcoin doesn't seem to attract the purest minds...

A friendly warning to all! Don't say anything negative about Bitcoin here or on /r/Bitcoin as you'll get gang-downvoted. A lot of people have a lot of built-up aggression by the ever-declining Bitcoin price and want you to pay for their loss in some sick weird way!

  I downvoted this comment because it is completely pointless. I almost downvoted your first comment because (setting aside the problems with the very idea of "purest minds") there basically isn't any human activity that manages to only attract said "pure minds". I don't own bitcoin and fairly regularly post antagonistic comments about it here. They usually get no votes, or maybe one or two upvotes.

    Pointless how? As we're all data nerds here, try posting negative comments when price is going up (maybe they are too busy doing what I mention later) - you won't see much downvotes unlike when it's going down. I'm sorry, but the Bitcoin community is just disgusting! With "VIPs" like Charlie Shrem, Mark Karpeles, and the likes, it's doomed to fail! When PayPal announcement temporarily spiked the price, you can read comments like "I just jizzed in my pants" over at CoinDesk. This is the kinda human material that's building the Bitcoin community, unfortunately! Computer scientists made Bitcoin possible, but it's all in the wrong hands now, so, we should rather embrace things like Stellar now (I was a fan of Ripple, first, as a great piece of technology, but Stellar doesn't have much of the Ripple baggage)!

  Well, Bitcoin now is what the dollar was during the Wild West, so, Bitcoin is centuries in the past - all kinds of outlaws and corrupt sheriffs and deputies. Even bounty hunters as people now offer bounties to find the Mt.Gox thieves!
