inb4 "you're just butthurt you didn't buy early!"

There were a lot of things that were magically cheaper before they weren't. That doesn't make people who bought them geniuses, especially in regard to something that has no actual value, especially when said object just lost half it's trading price one bungle after another.

This whole site is shills doing damage control. I've seen it before. It's like when gold fell off from 1900. At 1300, there are still morons who bought over 1500 still claiming it is a great near term investment. Perhaps they are right if you can afford a dump truck full of it and like watching graphs all day. For people not looking to leverage to the hilt with bullshit, not so much.

You can't argue with shills because they are shills. They want you to trade your real money for their shit, and I don't even think its necessarily about saving their crap. It's just denial, infantile denial that it's garbage.

If someone bought it at $1 and can actually cash out, great. Then what the fuck are they doing here trying so hard to prop up this garbage.

Bitcoin shills do two things consistently: talk about the past and talk about the future. In the middle is reality and nothing pisses them off more than suffering the observations by the sane while it is occurring.

blah blah blah,
you really just open your arse and let your mind to the farting don't you?
it's not a religion. bitcoin has simply drawn in 'children' to the market trading game.

what you see as fanatical supporters, are just our kids.
chill.

Boy, you really seem to have it all figured out!

 :D

Some of us do actually believe in it as a concept though. And that's why we try to sell it to everyone that comes within shouting distance.

They believe the fundamentals are still there.  As do I.

People also thought betamax was revolutionary technology  ::)

There are some who look at the greater picture. It's quite large and it's growing larger by the minute. That's good enough for me.

I think we should have a slush fund to pay for hand relief for uptight posters.

If you're not a supporter, what are you doing in a forum called Bitcointalk?

I'm guessing you bought at the high last year and lost alot of money.  If anything this should be another buying opportunity for you instead of bitching about it.

..because betamax tapes were listed on exchanges and people were able to trade them for unicorns.

relevance please. if you are going to start threads like this, at least keep it sensible.

You're just butt hurt you didnt buy in early. Lol jk, its because bitcoin is so revolutionary. That is why there are so many supporters.  Even if it was worth $1 per coin it still has and will continue to change the way money is used worldwide.

Maybe someday, but we are talking about 'someday'. It's always talk and talk about the future because in the here and now, this shit is hardly ready for prime-time.

And since I have no interest in becoming a techie to appreciate and innovate gadget ideas like btc because I don't have to, I have no use for it. I can use a smartphone without knowing how to build one. That's why smartphones are a success and btc is still a steaming pile of shit.

Don't try to sell me a betamax and tell me it's Blu-Ray, and then complain because I don't wanna share an hour discussion about future possibilities or 'appreciate' the technology.

"Ease of use" defines currency. Defines it. Without ease of use, you got a bag of shit and have the fucking nerve to resent people who dont want to pay actual money for the worthless monopoly money you're shilling for.

Obviously you do seem a little "butthurt".

My advice... get over it.

My advice to OP, stick to trading equities, you probably got Goxxed hard.

Can't get goxxed when I've never owned monopoly money  :D

Nor could you have you gotten rich.    ;)

Read the Cryptogenesis 4 times a day and you will be also a fanatical supporter.

You should also say this 10 times every hour:
Hare Bitcoin, Hare Bitcoin.
Bitcoin, Bitcoin, hare hare.
Hare Namecoin, Hare Namecoin.
Namecoin, Namecoin, hare hare.

"Butthurt" train now leaving lm2f.   Don't miss your ride!

All aboard!!!

That's like any ponzi scheme. I've been on this site 3 years and you've been here 2 months. You are obviously one of the ones who were suckered.

In the name of the father, the lord and the holy bitcoin.  Amen.

I quite like this idea, can you let the OP know when it comes to reality so that he/she can buy at a very low price please?
 :D

Suckered in?  I mine dumb ass.  I never dropped one cent into mining except for 2 video cards I use to game with my friends anyways. 

So tell me,  how did  I get burned?

The miners and the pools are the authority.

Right now, they may not have a reason to reject your transactions.

In the future, who knows...

eeeeh, you touched the underside of the GPU with your BEAR hands.  ;D

This is where you are wrong. Bitcoin has no value. It's worth nothing.

OK.  ;D

Wonder how much of that monopoly money is real  ::)

Why don't you try to cash out and tell us? Somehow I don't think you're gonna get your money kiddo. I'm sorry you're so easily tricked.

you must have had some bitcoin to buy your alt, 'lm2f'. so btc has one use, right?

So you're telling me bitcoin is equal to your pathetic life ?

I cash out every other week (or when my mining round finishes) this week I cashed out £177. I'm off to whitby for the weekend to spend it*.


*it = money transacted and cashed out to a bank using bitcoin as the initial fund.

OP has unresolved issues...

It's not a religion; it's excitement. People who support Bitcoin so fervently just grasp the concept better than you do. If you understood the gravity of the accomplishment and the brilliant potential; you'd be excited about it too.

You don't understand Bitcoin because you don't understand the reason for its invention. You can't grasp an answer for which you don't even understand the question...

Contrary to what you think we believe; We'd rather you not invest in it at all until you can understand why it's important.

This fanaticism is an online phenomenon. Those who shout loudest on forums don't necessarily represent the view of the majority.

Talk to influential bitcoiners in real life. You will find that most of them have a sober and humble attitude. Their heart is in it, but they are aware of the risks.

I cash out all the time as well.  Thank you Coinbase!   ;D

Of course I have issues with bitcoin supporters.

Consider: I am pissed that I wasted time on learning about it though I lost no money. You people are pissed because I dare criticize something you claim is valuable. Add that up...

Get it through your fucking head - people aren't interested in shit for its own sake. It has to have value. If people can do fine without something, they will. Most people have no interest in taking on technological skill sets just so some techie can feel useful for finding a longer more convoluted way to do something no one needs.

That's the whole fucking point of product development, and btc currently sucks. There's no ground floor to get in on because it remains riddled with incompetence, perhaps even in concept. So lets discuss that for 20 years on bitcointalk, because that's the visible future of it.

please explain why and we can do our best to indoctrinate you in our religion, totally brainwashing you to do things that you don't want to do.


compare that time learning bitcoin, to how many years you spent learning at school.. which took longer?


i am interested in shit, especially after i've had a raging hot curry.


i welcome your criticism.
 ;D

I make money elsewhere and don't need this crap.

But you're damn right I'm mad. For one, I'm not some greedy fuck who thinks money I didn't make is somehow a loss. Two, I didn't actually lose any cash because I never trusted the shit enough to go near it.

But I have lost. I have lost precious time reading about it and hearing people cry about one damn crisis after another. I have lost time reading and learning about it and wasting five seconds of faith that it was going anywhere by wrongly dignifying it with legitimate attention. I've wasted countless minutes and calories learning about some faggot nerd shit only to ultimately conclude the whole thing is some autistic online game played by losers who think clever little software exchanges represent wealth.

Hell, I'm wasting time on it right now. It's a fucking black hole that's all about discussions and talk and no god damn actual business.

And then there's always that guy. If you point out any criticism of BTC, some shill jumps in with "it used to be worth nothing and u mad it went to $1k lololololol!"

Just because some poor sap will pay $1k for a bag of shit doesn't make my toilet a gold mine and flushing does not constitute a fortune lost, you daft fucks.

Bitcoin shills are like goldbugs on crack. Its all about being viewed as 'right' no matter how shitty the evidence is. That's what they love more than profit. Its some sort of autistic cult. You can't convince them the hole thing is a waste. Bunk. The currency' of hubris colliding with ignorance. They should have called it BabelCoin.

BTC goes up "I have something people pay for! I'm a genius!"
BTC plummets "It will be worth a fortune any day now"

I cant tell if they are crazy or retarded.

Tell you what, why don't you go to the store and try to buy next week's groceries with bitcoin. Let us know how well that works out.


And I have Keira Knightley lying in my bed. See? I can pull bullshit out of my ass too.

i'm very content to waste your time on it some more... please... get these things off your chest, i'm sure you will feel better.  ;)

You're pissed because you learned something and not because you lost something? You sound wise...

We're not upset about your opinion; we've heard it before. It's the equivalent of a child throwing a temper tantrum because they don't understand how to finish their math homework...

People did fine without the internet, they did fine without books, they did fine without banks, money, or governments; yet here we are... People adopt ideas that benefit them in various ways. Your point is so far off base from reality that you should probably explain yourself as to how you can possibly think that's the way it is...

There are 4 things that have real value, food, water, shelter, and life. Everything else is artificially evaluated and given some form of worth. Bitcoin has extrinsic value based on utility, security, and ideology.

note: this is what my first post suggested, thanks for your confirmation. now please. put your arse away, this is a public forum.  8)

I think the problem is he didn't learn anything.  He failed to learn it and missed out and is now mad.

In good faith I'm going to assume you're not trolling. I'm not an early adopter. I knew about bitcoin when it was around $11 a BTC but never bought. I simply educated myself on the technology and read about it. I messed with mining just for fun and made a little BTC worth pretty much nothing back then. I took a break from bitcoin as I had other more important things to focus on. When I learned that the price had gone to $50 i started taking it a lot more seriously. Still not knowing much about it I got into more serious mining with my graphics card and left my computer on day and night. My point is, not everyone here is a rich arrogant prick who bought early and made massive amounts of money. I'm a huge supporter of bitcoin and i'm not an early adopter. I understand the volatility that is occurring right now and I know what is causing it. I still have faith in the protocol and the system itself. Blaming the actions of a business that happens to deal with bitcoin on bitcoin isn't fair. There are a few people out there on their bitcoin high horse telling the "noobs" to f off. If you're mad because of one of them, don't be. Bitcoin isn't easy to understand I personally think that's one of it's biggest flaws. (That and it's completely misleading name). If you think it's dumb, that's fine I don't care and won't take offense. But don't spread FUD about something you don't understand completely. That is when I will call you out.

Let me take a guess. You're either younger than 30 or 60+. Or maybe its just that you're not a techie as you say, or you would remember the first time the public got access to email and internet and learn from that.

I'll tell you, man. Assuming you were lucky enough to have an ISP in your vicinity, you then had to fight all the other users dialing in
and trying to connect. Sometimes it took hours to get connected. Finally you get online and now you've got to hurry up because you're paying by the minute for your connection, which is really a phone call. So you check your email and there's nothing because who on earth is using email but a bunch of geeks?

Screw email. You decide to search for some porn, only you can't see it in your browser because it's a text-only browser, so you start downloading a few pics for later viewing. They're taking ages. You're slowly racking up a phone bill. Hopefully they'll be worth it. Then... DOWNLOAD FAILED. Your wife/mom must have picked up the other phone. Fuck this Internet shit! It will never catch on.

That's how it all started. I hope you're doing great with your envelopes, stamps and wrinkled Playboy magazines. Peace.

This analogy is fantastic and funny. Good job sir.

So what you are saying is that any new technology needs to be perfect on its initial release, or it shouldn't be released at all?   Look at everything that has ever been invented...there are always bugs in every single technological invention.  Look how far the internet has come since it's inception.   You talk about smart phones, but based on your argument, they should have never been created and could have never been created, because the original phone had wires with it.  I guarantee you still have some issues with some of the features of your smartphone...does that mean it's a steaming bag of shit (as you call it)?   Ease of use comes from it's actual use, then then feedback about what works and what doesn't.

BTC is a religion, so so. It is based on mathematics.

FIAT MONEY is based on faith. In god we trust, in leaders we trust, in banks and government IOU's we trust.

WHICH ONE IS CLOSER TO A RELIGION MR. OP ??????

FIAT money is also based on fear, and debt to masters you can't see or communicate with.

Our fiat monetary system is very much based on not asking questions about it, and just following it blindly.

Our fiat monetary system has ordained that most people live their entire life in debt to another entity, from birth, because 'that's just the way it works'.

Actually sounds more and more like a religion the more I think about it.

There are lunatics on both sides of the fence.

On the Bitcoin side, they're all pretty much congested in this forum so it seems like there's a lot of them.

Where is this religious symbol found commonly? Hint: it is not a cryptocurrency logo  ;D

+1 That's where I am. I don't soil my pants every time someone posts nonsense they pulled from their arse. But if I thought bitcoin were broken, I would bail in a heartbeat. I'm not the religious type.   

That was your first (non chinese) post, back in 2013. Most of your other posts are rants against BTC at least to some extent.

Tie it to the dollar? Seriously... what are you doing here anyway?

Also, "the people behind bitcoin"... common, read the definition of decentralized (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/decentralize).


WE are the people behind Bitcoin. If you want to buy and sell 1 BTC for 1 USD, so be it. Be my guest!

Check Mate!

Ok - so you think btc is a giant waste of time and worthless.  You're annoyed at the time you've currently wasted on this 'worthless techy project.'  My sincere advice - and note I'm not angry with you at all - please just go away and live your own life.  You will be happier and so will we for not having to waste our own 5 seconds reading your drivel.

Sincerely - every bitcoiner

The thinking and idea with bitcoin was good - it has just lost tracking, due to the fact that no one made it easy to use. Everyone sat back and watched in the belief that evolution would happen without further input.
2nd and even 3rd generation virtual currencies with much bigger visions will soon pop up - and if bitcoin is not developing as well it's going to miss the train.
