Bitcoin is a lot like eCigarettes

[Anarchist]

If you know about the battle between Tabaco companies / Governments / Pharmaceutical companies VS eCigarette 

companies, then you will know what I mean. We all know cigarettes are one of the main contributors or causes for a wide

variety of cancers and illnesses and eCigarettes is the possible solution to this problem. { Disruptive technology }

The eCigarette companies has proven that their technology are better and less harmful than cigarettes, but Tabaco

companies, with the help of governments and pharmaceutical companies { nicotine patches & tablets } has started a ALL OUT

war against this technology, because they stand to lose BILLIONS. Some countries have BANNED eCigarettes, because the

Nicotine is harmful to people, but they allow cigarettes that are more harmful. 

Bitcoin is fighting the same kind of battle against paid shills and sinister groups that are trying to destroy it with the spreading

of misinformation and "divide & conquer" tactics.

Will we win this battle against these giants or will we surrender in defeat? 

 

The medical experts are now seeings all the bad effect that e-cig can bring, it is not really less dangerous than traditional cigarettes as per their studies. On top of that Ecigarettes is a fresh and still young niche to give a judgement about it
It's like Bitcoin it may be a 10 years old currency but still young. There will be always something or someone to fight it

Bitcoin is so much more disruptive than those type of concerns....The blockchain technologies cannot be stopped, cannot be regulated, and cannot be compared to any other platform.  The only thing the fiat lovers can do is refuse to give us attention in the main stream media....However, they cannot ignore us for too much longer!  <---- Nope, not with a 100B dollar marketcap and 3B dollar daily volume.

Someone watched the ground breaking documentary, " A Billion Lives " - [The United Nations' World Health Organization projects that a billion people will die prematurely from smoking this century. In the next 20 years, there will be nearly 1.6 billion smokers around the world. This documentary takes a critical look at the history of smoking, and the corruption that's led to the current situation where safer, healthier alternatives are banned or heavily restricted in most countries.]

I also watched it and think that this too might happen with Bitcoin, if governments decide that it is a threat to their power and control. < I have seen funny videos on Youtube, where custom officials in the US were searching people's luggage for physical bitcoins, because the people wore Bitcoin T-shirts. >

Looks like currently our eCigarette is capturing the whole market and putting down all the financial institutions here (your pharma companies). I'm sure unlike the real world where not everybody is liking the idea of ecigarettes (our bitcoins) it is completely different thing in case of crypto world. Here everyone is into bitcoin and want to be big with it. So I'm sure no one will eat our market real soon.

I agree with you it such a great similarities and lots of comparison for BTC and eCigarettes. The bussiness it shows and the cycle. Merely appropriate to discuss further though.

In terms of functions and effects, e cig really is a great comparison but i think the tobacco for the btc are these online payments. Btc is not that famous yet in paying  but it is rising up from the ranks. But its fortunate that even the enemies can benefit from btc. And i dont think there are people destroying btc but rather making it as an inspiration in creating there own.

[Proton2233]

In my opinion not a very good comparison. Electronic cigarettes are not useful for your body and still not know what does more harm to the body regular or electronic cigarettes. Bitcoin brings only benefits and from the rumors, only those who suffer this doubt.

[Arindava]

I`ve always though that eCigarettes are more harmful than the normal cigars.
Perhaps,this is due to the big tobacco corporations propaganda.
Anyway,smoking is like doing drugs,it`s not healthy.
Compaing bitcoin with drugs is wrong.Using BTC is actually healthy.

I really agree with you .. it is true that when we blow the good will always be confronted by great power,
And the ruler will always make an opinion that he is the most correct

[johnwest]

Bitcoin and digital currencies are the undisputed future of currencies. It's a process that has begun and can't be stopped now.

Many giants have already tried to disrupt the flow of Bitcoin and failed. Because businessmen dont understand the technology behind crypto currencies. Countries are supporting because common man is supporting and started using Bitcoin on their own. I dont think there will be a problem from whales here.

[RomanPetrush]

I think that Bitcoin is quite intersting thing, because it will have huge affect on our future lifestyle.
Just like E-cig is harmfull for the regular ones. Bitcoin is harmfull for the regular money system we live right now. But its hard to fight against hidden enemy like crypto currency. But the system can control the devices which provides the access to the crypto currency. In the future may happen, that every access and login through any device will be controled by Government firewall. Bitcoin brings huge changes in 10 years.

Bitcoin is going to grow up and progress on August 1st.

We not need to worry.
Truly, this is the technology. technology creating with purpose for better solution in future. Few countries has been legalize it, it is good progress.
Soon or later many country will follow this step, like it or not.
We'll seen after august there will bright future for investor.

 I can also say that bitcoin is just like the e cigs. No matter how the country or those giants banned it. People still finds a way to fight for it. We surrender? If you can see the current situation the massive adoption then it already answer your question

[Lunavan]

I thought that it is already a success in bitcoin segwit and no split was gonna happened

Comparison with cigarette is ridiculous!!! Bitcoin is helping me in my life but be harmful as cigarette. If you want to said that Bitcoin can make you spend much time as addict cigarette, it is wrong. I use Bitcoin in free time and I still work hard with the main job.

That’s truly annoying to compare such amazing thing with cigarettes. Cigarettes are doing benefit to the manufacturers only but the case of bitcoins is different. Cigarettes are making people run out of money while bitcoins are helping them to earn decent capital with little hard work to make lives financially stable. It’s really rude to make such comparison.

[prometheum]

I should try e-cigarettes

If you are a smoker that hasn't yet then you definitely should, if you can get passed not having the ash tray taste then it might be a winner for you.

yes it should be compared to something good ones, isn't.
cigarette has bad image when people seeking it like drugs. anyways i have met many people who spent most time a day doing trading about bitcoin & trading. i can imagine he very loves about it.

If it does then, then there's another human innovation that can save humanity will be lost, it is just like a story of an iconic inventor Nikola Tesla. Instead giving humans the free energy as it was this multi billion business always make Tesla suffer and they don't want to make it free because of the greediness of money. It was really sad when this kind of inventions are being the one to be gone in this world rather than the innovations that can kill the Earth an human lives. It is the saddening truth.
