Bitcoins are a fake currency that is nothing more than a confidence scheme.

Quality coverage right here, from John Crudele no less, the NYPOST financial journalist that brought you such solid scoop as "Let's make up a conspiracy about faked census unemployment numbers", which he shamelessly references in this very article, in a series of irrelevant answers to earnest questions.

Sadly, it's nothing new that certain media make up reports just to gain exposure. Bold claims about something just sell better than an unbiased or balanced report about a topic. It's always the way that you only hear those people who scream the loudest. Not the moderate voices that take a look at both sides and offer a reflected opinion...

Statements like the above make it obvious that the OP really doesn't get bitcoin
Some of us believe that fiat currencies are the ultimate ponzi schemes

on a side note told a bunch of people this week about bitcoin...efforts this year that I told last year

a) they are p/o'd that I got in to it mining last year

so

b) they think (all 10 or so of them ) it is a ponzi scheme


(imho it is because I got in it last year and they have heard it is ponzi scheme on the news/inet etc that is where the 'noise' is
that would mean if I was correct ...they would not get as good a deal as they could have ..if they would have accepted this
last year..ie ....it is a ponzi scheme don't think about it...anymore..or they will be annoyed)

I feel like the guy in Florida who had an 'air raid shelter" from the 60's and everyone laughed at him till that 2 week period
of the 'cuban missle crisis'

just gonna avoid the topic if the variety of folks I've told ask...and wait for the 'inevitable' 'why did you not twist my arm
and make me buy bitcoin back in the olden days of 2013/2014?

doomed I am
