Yes, I think that Bitcoin is a scam and makes people believe that they are receiving free money.
Yes, when I pay $100 for 1 bitcoin I believe that I'm getting free money
Just put your computer to work on its own in order to make easy money for you.
It seems as though people have mining confused with bitcoins.
There is no supporting, stable (= governmental) infrastructure.
This is backed by nothing, but "faith".
There is a community supporting its value, which is much better than a single government. The Weimar Republic, Zimbabwe, and Cyprus would like a word with you...
Also, all currencies are backed by faith. Paper money is worth only as much as people believe it is.
Overall, it seems as though the people arguing "yes" have no idea what they're talking about. The only valid point I saw was that it fluctuates too often to be used as a normal currency (but that was in the No section for some reason). But as more bitcoins are added, and are distributed into the hands of more people, mass purchases and sells will have less effect, so I can see stability in the future. I'll definitely vote "No" and write up a good argument, however I fail to see how Bitcoin can possibly be a "scam", seeing as there's no central authority to profit off of its success...
