*snicker* *Pffft* heh *snort* heheh ha hahahahah hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahah
I notice you are keen on posting crap like the above.
I would just like to say that it reflects really badly on you and mock laughter or ridiculing of an argument comes usually from frail minds, that lack an ability to truly understand a phenomena and seek to align themselves with some dogmatic view, and are hyperphobic about having their fragile world view threatened.
As for example, when in the UK, the liberal MP Vince Cable asked then PM Gordon Brown in 2005, if the economic boom wasn't infact a result of unsustainable borrowing and credit creation. He was laughed out of parliament by all the same clueless fucks who after the event claimed 'nobody could see it coming', and then proceeded to point fingers at individual banker scapegoats.
Ahhh shit! Sorry for having some fun with a bullshit statement. This thread has really brought out the troll in me. And I suppose you're right, I should not laugh at other's arguments. But, wait. Was that an arugment I was laughing at? The statement referenced had no supporting evidence, and consisted of a very vague generalization. "Only a Central Bank can adopts currency control measures against the high volatility of the speculative markets. A currency in the wild will end at 0. " Really? You actually believe that is the ONLY outcome? Or at least don't find that worthy of mocking? I have my views on bitcoin, and of the central banks. I have my opinions, and I think that statement is false based on my opinions. However, there are plenty of other reasons why that statement deserved my mockery. Who knows the the future holds? Even if bitcoin ends in zero, and the central banks hold up our system for now, doesn't mean everything from now until infinity will follow this concept.
Hmm...Frail mind who lacks an ability to truly understand a phenomena. Again, really? Thanks for the "big words" which based on that statement alone, you probably expect I cannot understand. I hate to upset
your dogmatic mentality, with set in stone confidence of your psychological analysis, but you don't know me. I am not sure which fragile world view of mine is being threatened - you must mean the "world" of bitcoin? Well, I do believe we have something here. I believe this technology (and the concept behind it) is revolutionary, and will change the world. In fact, perhaps to the same degree as the creation of the internet. However, will it be bitcoin? I can only hope so, while I acknowledge it may not be the case. I understand what you're accusing me of, and in fact it's not I who thinks in that manner - but rather the reason I was mocking the statement to start with. Again - who know what the future holds? What I do know with reasonable certainty, is the statement which I was mocking at is false, or at least excessively presumptuous as there is no way to tell if/when a non-central banked currency will developed in the next infinity peroid of time. Come on.
I am not familiar with what PM Gordon Brown said, but I get your point. And, for a 3rd time, Really? There is no similarity between my mockery and his. This is not a thread about potential flaws, pitfalls, and risks of and to bitcoin, or any other reasonable topic with a supportive argument. My response was not event directed at OP's reference to bitcoin as a viable currency. I think we'll see it become a viable currency, but we shall see, I understand the challenges. I (data, actually) was bursting out laughing about a extreme generalization made by stating anything not control by a central bank will end up at zero - which is an absurd statement.
Are you familiar with the phrase "Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer" ? Well, while that was not a question, I think that sentiment applies here. Get off your pseudo psychological high horse and learn to take a joke. If you don't like my posts, you're more than welcome to make use of that really most excellent ignore functionality, or to keep scrolling.
EDIT:
Forget all of that, I found the perfect response to you:
