You know, I've noticed Bitcoin has become the butt of a lot of jokes lately.

the fact that people are making fun of bitcoin, for example in a tv show as popular as Family Guy that has been around for so many years, just shows that bitcoin is becoming more popular. i don't see any reason to be sad about. you should be glad that bitcoin is being noticed and not just being used by nerds in their basements.

exactly.  whether or not it seems like they are making fun of it, it is good press.  Gets the word "Bitcoin" out there.  Derek Zoolander said that Bitcoin is is favorite style in his faux interview with Vogue.  Hilarious and great for Bitcoin. I thought the Peter comment was funny and loved hearing Bitcoin on Family Guy.

Yeah, but nobody is really using our currency. Just nerds in the basement.

Just wondering, did you or someone else genuinely write on this dollarbill?

No, I'm asking you if you seriously ruined a dollar. You could have put it towards a new comb, or some food.

No, not that many use it. The price wouldn't be so low if billions were using it.

The thought of me defacing your man's fiat bills seems to have disturbed you eh. Tell me, does your boyfriend know you're trolling on his account while he's away working?

[TheGr33k]

...
... I am slowly coming to terms with it and just accepting that we are indeed the laughing stock of the internet.

Oh ye of little faith, everyone knows that he who laughs last, laughs best.

I already have faith. It's just somewhat aggravating to see people insult a currency like that when they themselves haven't even occupied it. People should try things before knocking them down within two seconds.

Jenna should tell her 16 million subscribers to rather buy her dog toys called Kermie Worm & Mr. Marbles with Bitcoins... The transactions would be way cheaper.  

You should not take uninformed opinions very seriously... at some stage Bitcoin will go mainstream and they would look like fools. A few years ago, we were the butt of

the joke and now some of the biggest banks in the world are scrambling to copy our technology. There must be something behind it, if Billions are invested into Bitcoin

related technology... more than what can be said about dog toys or cartoons.

Those dolls are ridiculous. I purchased both for my fiancé because she's subscribed to Jenna.

They look really terrible up close.

Is everything you do online related to bitcoin? Is it paying off? No, not always? Perhaps it's an obsession then.

Sad truth is, bitcoin has gained a cult-like following. Last time someone asked here why there are so many conspiracy theorists here the answer was that paranoid people are attracted to bitcoin by nature... Don't worry though, those that making fun of bitcoiners are stereotyping the entire community just by looking at a few jokers.

Ouch that's almost like calling him a fag!  Heavenz noooo!!!

It's true. I was in a bar in rural Tajikistan last night. Every single joke was about Bitcoin. Eight solid hours of Bitcoin jokes really started to get on my nerves so I had to leave and seek some peace in Vanuatu. The pilot just spouted Bitcoin jokes the whole fucking flight while the passengers rolled in the aisles and no one would refund me.

[Amph]

i only hate when they refer to bitcoin, for their joke, as a "fake money" when they are paying for their stuff with toilet paper all the times

Yes. Exactly. I'm not actually genuinely getting upset as I know they do not know all of us personally. I do understand some of us have that mentality, but it's not consistent. It's like saying anyone who uses welfare is spending it on drugs.

On behalf of them and your frustration, I'm going to apologize for them even though I don't know any of them personally. My fiancé and I actually went out last night and heard a couple people discussing Bitcoin. Saying it was for criminals, crooks, nerds in the basement, socially awkward people that can't show their faces and have to hide behind anonymity. My goodness. They talked so much negativity. I could go on for hours to mention everything she and I heard that really would have made you punch a wall. I won't though....


My fiancé is also into Bitcoin now, and its usually quite staggering when trying to get more people involved. Family is the first to turn to, and she was more than open to it. I do recommend getting to talk to family to join the movement as family naturally trusts each other more often.

I don't care whether people are making fun of bitcoin or not. What matters most to me are the benefits and the convenience that I get from bitcoins. Whoever has issues with bitcoin should look for Satoshi Nakamoto and square out with him.

If a fool speaks, fools listen, when a person with wisdom speak, people follow. ^smile^ Do not get side tracked by the
fools of this world. We will have the last laugh about this, let the comedians do what they do best. You have the knowledge already, so you know when the fools speak.
