The fact that there's no fees at all, Although it's voluntary there is some fees that is used almost by default in any transaction and even in a no-center network fees are necessary to keep it running and transactions being confirmed.

This is still correct. You don't understand the statement at all. You are transacting anonymously between address X and address Y. Nobody is forcing you to join services which require personal information.

Bitcoin contains a virus that will override your computer and make you part of some hackers great network.
it seems it is not a hoax or trick.
Did you even read his post and/or understand it? The claim was that Bitcoin contains a virus, which is obviously false.

That a user is "anonymous" in the network and no one can follow your transactions, it's actually almost the opposite since the chain is open and anyone can view the transactions and possible even trace them back to there origin coins.
Nobody knows who this "user" is, ergo this is where the anonymity is coming from.

"Bitcoin is dead"
I think for now bitcoin is still alive. you can see now but that statement can be used for a long time. we do not know what bitcoin can survive or not in the future?

so the statement "bitcoin dead" has not been fully answered the

That is it being completely anonymous, Currently most coins can be linked back if the exchange cooperate and exchanges require documents mostly so it's not that anonymous now...

That it is exclusive to criminals! I see allot of decent people here and they are probably not hitman "or men", I had an impression like this when I seen a topic about bitcoin in a local newspaper.

The instant part is a good point but for us gamblers its still faster. Besides echeque into your bank account where you risk having a account closed.
Some of these books took close to three weeks to send a cheque. So its all relative.

When I started using Bitcoin, I heard that Bitcoin transactions could be reversed. I still can't believe that I believed that a couple of years ago.

Ive also been hearing that for quite a while now and haters can only do is just spread the word hopefully someone believes them.

When I started using Bitcoin, I thought Bitcoin transactions cannot be traced. I believe this was what I read from a few Bitcoin related site back in 2012/2013.

As I get to know more and more about Bitcoin, I found out that it is not true. Technically, it can be traced from the Blockchain. Ones need to use a Bitcoin mixer before he/she can be "anonymous".

What "facts" have you heard about Bitcoin that is not true - other than the price?
They said it only took you a few milliseconds to send your Bitcoin to the other person that is currently at another side of the world, but that particular person couldn't spend the coins unless the network has confirmed the transaction. I thought it was faster than that when I was first found out about Bitcoin.

Life sucks.

I heard that banks and the government will start supporting bitcoins which is simply impossible as banks view bitcoin as their competitor and they will never support bitcoins for sure as bitcoin is a major threat to the banking system.

Until the Bank dont understand the value of Bitcoin they will be afraid, but in the future Bank will work with bitcoin and we can do banking with bitcoin just like fiat currency,

There is some people said that Bitcoin still as just virtual currency and couldn't being real money, which isn't true of course but many people still spreading this false information.

People spread wrong ideas about Bitcoin because they don't know it enough, and they don't know how it works. That's why i think the Bitcoin's community should advertise a lot better this powerful crypto currency worldwide.
yeah because the reality bitcoin is more than just virtual currency. bitcoin is an investment, currency, and so forth. a lot of the wrong people mentioned bitcoin. that bitcoin just a coin for trade only. it was a great one wrong and therefore we have to spread bitcoin with the right information
The computer and IT colleges are required that they introduce a subject of crypto currency especially of bitcoin and have to teach the student all the facts about bitcoin to the new generation.
