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

[TheGr33k]

It just seems like left and right, everyone is just making fun of us and doesn't even take us seriously. Seth MacFarlane made fun of Bitcoin in Family Guy having Peter ironically mention the currency, when the scene clearly made him say that because it won't work for their money situation. (For the record, I didn't think the joke was that funny. Not because they were implying Bitcoin was a crappy way to get rich, but because I just found it lame).

Then Jenna marbles went off to implying anyone that uses Bitcoin is a nerdy perverted creep.....again, joke wasn't funny. Not because of Bitcoin, but because it was lame.


To be honest, I'm so over it but I am slowly coming to terms with it and just accepting that we are indeed the laughing stock of the internet.

Opinions on the situation would be cool. What do you think we should do?

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Well if you're so over it then why post a new topic about it, codishmumu, Gr33k?  Don't you have an engagement--sorry, legal slavery--to be involved in, and real life?  I thought you gave up trolling this forum because you were so busy.

You've probably been the butt of jokes yourself and that's why you're feeling so sensitive, so I would suggest that you just roll with it.  Bitcoin has a thicker skin than you think, so let the haters hate.

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

If you think Jenna Marbles is expert in the bitcoin field - or any other field beside creating entertaining youtube videos you are being delusional, ignore her.
She doesn't know what she is talking about as she is clearly cryptocurrency noob.

Same goes for Family Guy - as I love the show but again, it is satirical comedy, take Family Guy with a little grain of salt.

Guys, mabe they're not laughing at us, but with us?



No?

nevermind...

[pbleak]

Learn to enjoy it. When Jenna says its creepy go, yes, indeed, we are. Insults are easily deflected with confidence btw.

Just a wayward, wind-tossed premonition of great things in store.

Who are they, never heard of these people before.

[Cyaren]

So? Let them laugh at us. At least they have a sense of humour and we're getting free publicity

Why don't they laugh about Silk Road, many various scams, & the huge exchanges that ran with all of our funds?
...or about how we believe our new currency can save people from the coming collapse of paper money?

I've ignored them all a long time ago. I'm just posting about them to have a little conversation going, and see what others thought.

[TheGr33k]

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

[robelneo]

They are ignorant about bitcoin,let us leave them to their ignorance while we make ourselves rich haters gonna hate,we cannot please every body,I am done explaining how good bitcoin is,the best revenge is getting rich and having a lot of bitcoins..

[Kprawn]

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.

[Herbert2020]

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.

Actually I think we're already at the "they fight you" stage, lots of government restrictions on exchanges, russia proposing to charge users who deal in bitcoins, devs fighting each other and based on that I hope we'll win at the next stage.
