fun little quote:

All digital currencies do is swap out groups like the Federal Reserve or Bank of Japan and replace them with whomever it is that's in charge of the manufacturing Bitcoins themselves.

Who is that central banker in control of the Bitcoin supply? No one knows.

From his twitter:

The Comments  :-\ ....

Why can't people inform them self just a little before judging something. Reading the Wikipedia article would be enough.

Sad thing is, this is probably the public (mainstream) opinion about Bitcoin.

It is wrong that I want BTC to succeed partially because of all the naysayers out there posting comments like these!  Seriously, it will feel SOOOOO good when BTC gets to $1000.  ;D Maybe I am a dreamer, but hey, it pays to dream sometimes!

These are the same people who took personal savings and credit lines to buy into the Facebook IPO, only to get shanked by the underwriters botching the whole thing.

Of course they don't like Bitcoin, figuring stuff out is hard, man!
