Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Bitcoin is not a scam, it is a complex system and lack of understanding does not make something a scam.

There a scammers within the BTC trading market, so be careful, however this does not make Bitcoin or cryptocurrency less legitimate, every currency has scammers and legitimate traders. Smiley

This is the attitude of the bitcoin community... these to jackasses under me.
You got fucked by bitcoin it is your own fault!! you are an idiot if you lost money with scammy old bitcoin. You must be a moron if you lose money with a currency that changes value like a fart in the wind.
Whats that you say? you took payment for an item in bitcoin only to have it plunge in value two minutes after you got them.. you are a moron,
what? you say that in the time it took to confirm to your wallet you lost 20 percent you are an idiot... everyone knows that bitcoin is perfect and if you lose money with it its because you are a fucktard.

PSY suck a dick moron

And the name is psy, no capital letters.

Now let's see what you said first:

And what you said later...

So, first it was people who bought in when Bitcoin was at 260, but when called out about it you talk about merchants and blah blah blah... Are you so desperate to "be right" that you can't even defend your first argument before coming with a new one?... Roll Eyes
It sure looks like the biggest jackass and fucktard here is YOU.

umadbro? put the flamethrower down kthxbye

The unstable fiat price of bitcoin is due to hedgefund brokers totally not 'getting it' and defaulting to flailmode. Ultimately a bitcoin is always worth more than any amount of fiat. If those folks want to pump capital into the btc community, that's neat, yo. You wouldnt catch me giving up BTC for $.
I think its the bank-smelling-like scummy faith in fiat folks' carried over sketchyass behavior patterns that make crypto seem so scary.

Wit all my solidarities,

It is in the nature of a human to deny everything new. Look back at history from ancient times, plenty of examples.

Most anti-BTC people I've seen simply misunderstand it. There're definitely ways to make money off it, even if you don't treat it like a long term investment!

PSY the point is that there are lots of reasons that make bitcoin scammy, whether it is buying in at  a "high" price, wild price fluctuations, the fact that every scammer on the internet is running game on the crypto currency community or the predatory lending that is going on with btc or the market manipulation from MT. Gox. If you dont know bitcoin is a scam you have your head in your ass.

None of that makes Bitcoin itself a scam. Sure there are members of the community that have ill intentions, but that fault rests on them, not on the cryptocurrency that they're using. If you're careful, you won't get burned, it's as simple as that.

Says who? bitcoin can go back to 20 tomorrow. Would that screw you out of money? Would you say fuck bitcoin. If I was holding coins I wouldnt be happy I might even say I had been scammed.

Bitcoin is a scam because it is shit as money. Btc incentives hoarding and price manipulation. When a coin comes out that ties the value to the market participation and incentives sharing and spending and new market participation bitcoin will die and take its place in history beside myspace and beanie babies.
