"The quackery of bitcoin is so obviously ludicrous I can no longer justify my time spent pointing it out."
Oh, what a terrible loss for thoughtful discussion, nothing frames a debate quite as nicely as dismissing the topic of discussion as quackery.
"People throwing money around does not make a thing important."
What does that even mean? I'm not sure what makes something important, but from an entrepreneur's perspective "people throwing money around" (to the tune of a couple billion dollars) is at least... significant? something that merits continued examination? Important doesn't seem like a stretch, but I'm sure you have a quintessential example of something important...
"Don't you dare say no one warned you when the whole thing comes crashing down."
I appreciate the smugness in your concern, but just about everyone who invests in bitcoin is aware of the price volatility, you're like the guy who scoffs at lost mountain climbers as if they didn't realize that risk was part of the journey.
"And yes, fine, whatever, you can say "toldya so" all you like when Bitcoin fulfills your fantastic greed and you lot join the 1% of your new capitalist utopia. Real moral high ground you'll have, then."
Ok, right. So if I understand, if it all comes crashing down, you warned us all, but if the opposite happens then we're all assholes for reaping the rewards of our investment in something we were told was unimportant quackery destined to fail.
I'm starting to feel like this is one of those posts designed to trigger a defensive response in gullible readers who mistake your comment for an attempt at reasoned discourse. What do they call that again?
