No. But only few ones care about it. Bitcoin is just a transitional stage to absolutely decetralized, absolutely anonymous, absolutely... whatever tender.

This thread inspired to ask on my timeline this question (https://www.facebook.com/questions/407569545970510/?qa_ref=ssp).
I really would love to know if my facebook friends (which are most business contacts as I didn't use fb until a year ago) are annoyed of the repeated bitcoin news or if they have any opinion. Most of them don't react at all.

Feel free to vote and add options.

really can't see any difference here, ergo bitcoin is the reason why we're all existing at a monkey island, covered by a joke of anonymity, blundering along the root of all evil with so much money that a monyisland bank couldn't hold it, soon dead, thus hindering block download. everybody knows it, it's a fact, kiss kiss.
