People don't want to invest into bitcoin because its a software

[toinew]

People can hack it  

EDIT : Some additional arguments since it was initially a troll
Bad consequences of the software thing

• The dev can change the software dramatically (like if some scientists could change gold composition, supply etc..)
• A software, if not perfect, is vulnerable to hack/exploit/misuse (could relate to fake gold)
• The developpement raises the question of centralism if there is one main dev, or face the issue of statu quo if the consensus cannot be reached (no such thing in gold)
• It can be replicated pretty easily. It faces competition from other coins or simply other blockchains if some forks are not accepted by everyone.

I don't say it's a huge problem, i just say that for a reasonable person, that's one problem when you consider investing in something that has to be solid enough.

You already broke the rules.  You replied.

You have no understanding of what bitcoin is, or how it works, and are just spouting random stuff you've heard from other uneducated people.

Visit an mining farm and see concrete things that are not just software.

Visit a bank mainframe to see how much of the monetary system is software, and very old one

Please, don't miss a chance to invest into bitcoin, because it's a future of money

[Amph]

there is no difference in hacking your pc and steal your wallet.dat and hack your pc and steal your bank account credentials, besides that bank will cover your ass in the case they still soemthing

that is maybe the only problem of bitcoin, not enough security because you are in fully control of your money, everything comes with a downside, you need to learn to secure your coins better

People don't want to invest in fiat cash because it's paper. It tears up easily and if you happen to be on the street holding onto all the cash, you can easily get mugged. Oh yeah, and don't forget, every year you will find that the purchasing power of that paper money is decreasing making you getting less goods for the same amount.

[randy8777]

stupidity just reached a whole new level. instead of opening a thread like this, please take some effort to read about bitcoin to understand what it is and how it works.

[BlackSpidy]

Money can be faked. It's just paper. Much less safe than software.

people keep money in a ponzi schem ... because they trust the bank.





but, at the end, bank can hack the people (bail-in system).




bitcoin can't do this. 




people must die to learn thing, i think ... well, perhaps, the end is at 2017 like the halving of bitcoin.

Bitcoin is math, not software.

Math can't be faked.

Anybody who thinks Bitcoin is a soft ware they don't need to invest in Bitcoin at all. I mean, Bitcoin is the next big tech that can revolutionize the world economy and all you think is that it's software.

How lame can they get !!!

yeah but, if you're the only one running it is worthless, it's like saying that internet is a software, the client is just a machine that control bitcoin, bitcoin are the operations of it, a bit different if you understood it

Why are people talking with the OP..

[BillyBobZorton]

Yeah, I guess people don't want to invest in Facebook, Instagram, Uber and the rest of billoaire marketcap softwares lol. Nice troll. Made me reply

LOL the Op is clearly trolling but there is some truth to what he is saying, Bitcoin still has the image of "magic internet money" in the average person's head.
Obviously we are conditioned to believe software applications like Office or Photoshop provides a utilitarian value and thus has worth but the general public still think of Bitcoin as some "fantasy" currency much like Xbox Points or something.

[Mervyn_Pumpkinhead]

In my experience, the main thing that distinguishes people who don't want to buy bitcoin, is the ability to understand the concept of an pyramid scheme.
