I look forward to the inevitable soon-to-come day when the circulation of Bitcoin Magazine exceeds that of Wired Magazine.

I'd like to see some mathematical arguments against Bitcoin but so far all I've seen is hypothetical bullshit and problems that are easily fixed with common sense.
Yes, but what if, hypothetically, there really is a mathematical argument against Bitcoin, hmmm?  Cheesy

I know what you mean. Bitcoin is a huge paradigm shift for most people. Even people I've convinced to invest in Bitcoin and are making a lot of money still don't believe it is real. They still come up with hypothetical nonsense against the idea.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

That part is not going to change for a short while. It takes about a 15  percent adoption.

It's the article that is "expired". It claims BTC is dead just as it becomes more popular than ever.  Yeah, bitcoins looks real dead. Roll Eyes

People that are making money are saying that? They've got no interest in how it is that they're doing it? That's truly bizarre!

Presumably they think they're profiting from everyone's collective delusion? (which is arguably the case even if you are a Bitcoin cheerleader) Not such a bad thing if they stick with it though, as they can carry on thinking that way and still make their contribution to the exchange markets. Bitcoin still benefits.

Funny that the writer managed to piss off nearly every single reader there Grin  But yeah, this article is a waste of space.  He got paid to have an opinion.  I wonder how many people could perform that job.

Going to places like Wired for tech news and knowledge is a bit like trying to shop at PC World, you just know you're not going to get any intelligent responses.

That's how propaganda works Vernon715 Cheesy honestly, if you've noticed that, I'm sure you'll notice it all over the other news places now too since they all do it to some degree.
