Objection: My refutation was circular or my refutation was just an assertion that BitCoins are worthless.
Objection: Some people do accept BitCoins, so they can’t be a poor currency.
Objection: Subjective value theory means that value only exists in the minds of people, therefore there is no reason BitCoins couldn’t be as valuable as gold or any other commodity.
Objection: Fiat currencies, like Federal Reserve Notes (US Dollars) aren’t backed by anything, either, so what’s the problem?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Maybe you should pay with Namecoins instead of Bitcoins, because they have a use value in addition to an exchange value.

In that way they are even more similiar to gold than Bitcoin.
