That this thread is still going on the same argument still after how many pages is ridiculous. Bitcoin fail’s the one test that makes money money, it’s not Fungible. One Bitcoin online is not worth the same as a Bitcoin in the real world.
USD and Gold have that distinction.
Bitcoin is nothing more than a ridiculous scam. The people that would prop it up on any other pretense than to launder money are either supporting the idea of direct democracy, and thusly socialism, or just in denial of what Bitcoin really is. It’s fitting that an open source advocate would come up with the idea as well. Anyone that would take Bitcoin is even more foolish than the idea of using cotton paper blend’s as currency backed by nothing. At least the paper blend’s are enforced by the threat of force, so the obligation is there if you don’t want to end up being taken against your will and placed in cage for such a silly notiong as committing fraud against a mere idea of a concept.
Human’s are depraved, and Bitcoin is just more evidence of it. I don’t care about being nice. I only care about being rational, and Bitcoin is about as rational as pouring a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label into a bowl to clean engine parts with it. Certainly not rational, and definately not cost effective.
