Why do people dislike bitcoin?
It seems that any mention of bitcoin outside of bitcoin dedicated communities is met with negativity. What do you think the reasoning is?

And the whole "Bitcoin will destroy banks and middle men!" And now there are dozens of Bitcoin banks and you can't spend Bitcoin at any major retailers without a middle man like Bitpay

This is exactly what bitcoin shillers won't say to you, this is bitcoins biggest lie.

if the info is false and misleading could you provide the evidences instead of criticizing the poster ?

Besides, if there was only a bullish news thread, that would look like propaganda forum.
Also i think OP should keep this thread clean and only keep the news posts (deleting my messages also)

Thread's doing fine Smiley
Doing what it set out to do--delivering news while shedding some light on what 'bitcointalk community' has become--paranoid, angry, illiterate petty crooks and pathetic pitchmen, desperately trying to outcon each other in what amounts to an incubator of everything rotten--gambling, worthless 'securities', Ponzis, petty theft... this veritable Petri dish of fail and AIDS, this cesspool of groupthink, cronyism & unabashed censorship known as bitcointalk.

I believe in free speech, thus, unlike the 'Bullish News' sister thread, this one is not self-moderated. I can not delete posts, yours or anyone's; only bitcointalk moderators can.
That said, I had a posts deleted for 'bumping', while shit posted by thieving assburgers attacking me stays up.


Thank you for fighting with bulltards / nazis for all newbies in this forum.

The Gemini Twins on Fox Business.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3o1dle/the_gemini_twins_on_fox_business/

[–]Business_Jesus: Am I high or has there only been 8 BTC worth of trading all day? Is this considered a successful launch? What the fuck
[–]ysangkok: what is a succesful launch anyway? what is there to gain by being there on the first day? if it was not a succesful launch, would they say so? of course not.



...
This screenshot of their order book was posted by someone in the Bitcoin discussion board.



It's showing more orders than bitcoinity because bitcoinity's default setting is to group all consecutive trades at the same price into one entry.

Would be interesting to know which of those bids is from the major institutional investors i keep hearing about Roll Eyes


wall street money pouring in.


Yup, currently 3.2 thousand dollars bids at Gemini, this looks sooo bullish... Grin
The bid sum / ask sum ratio is about 20$, might be an insight into the future of bitcoin... Roll Eyes

Another liars excuse: Jeff Garzik: "I don't speculate on the price. I don't calculate on the price. I just try to focus on the technology."

Pretty sure this one line can be applied to any aspect of life and used as great advice.
"I don't speculate on my wages. I don't calculate my wages. I just try to focus on doing the job."

This is wageslave logic at it's worst. If you're not calculating your wages, you're not checking to make sure your employer isn't ripping you off (spoiler: even when they're not ripping you off, they're still ripping you off, that's called profit margin).

Any self-respecting capitalist is always thinking about his/her cut and how to get a bigger slice of the pie. Top talent are often fighting tooth and nail for better salaries, there's a reason such negotiations are so often dramatic and ugly. Only those languishing at the bottom of the pyramid have the mentality of accepting whatever they can get.

Bitcointalk-User after he learned the 21 Bitcoin RPi2 will never ROI.

Good thing he didn't pay with bit[Suspicious link removed]d for him, now he can go the bank and lie about the transaction to be refund.

Unfortunate for 21inc, they don't take bitcoin payment :

21 has not done a good job in showing a good example for this system. They allude to using it to sell digital works, like a screenplay or a business plan or rent time on a 3d printer. It's like a screwdriver manufacturer telling you can use it to build a bicycle or fix a sign at an ice cream store and make quite a bit of money.

I know it's too soon to pass judgement without having one in hand and experimenting with it. However, I think they need to have a good working example of the intended use case. They're kind of saying it's a miner that won't mine very well, but hey, you can use it for all sorts of "cool" things.

It reminds me a lot of those offers on cracker jack boxes for mail-away devices,etc, that for some reason, always came from Denver, Co(?)....

BitPay is blacklisting certain bitcoins & rejecting customers

Email from BitPay to merchant (paraphrased):

"Your customer's coins are coming directly or indirectly from dubious sources. Please discontinue serving this customer."
