2013-05-30 Motley Fool: Bitcoins Are Just the Worst Idea Ever

[Seal]

"The truth is, we know nothing of what goes on at Bitcoin headquarters."

Quick, someone invite Mr. Lewis to tour the Bitcoin headquarters so he can find what goes on!  

I know exactly what's going on, how much can I get paid for posting that?

I know what's going on...Gentlemen BEHOLD!

That, next to your boxing lolcat... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[ManBearPig]

Scanned his other articles, one stood out in which he bigs up the Xbox One.

He clearly has a feel for market sentiment doesn't he?

He writes what he's paid to write.

I suspect you could beat any index by doing exactly the opposite of what the MF tells you to do.

[...] government-defying Super Mario coins.

[...] this is a giant pile of e-nonsense

Perhaps there will soon be a Bitcoin Redemption Center, where for 1,000 Bitcoins you have the choice of a Styrofoam helicopter, a stuffed Pikachu doll, or a sharing-size box of Everlasting Gobstoppers.

Do you ever get that message from John St. Crucible, the missionary from Nigeria who uses far too many articles in his requests for $70,000 sent via Western Union to the Church where he works? Check your spam -- I guarantee you he thinks your investment will pay off in the millions within two weeks. This is the same league.

The truth is, we know nothing of what goes on at Bitcoin headquarters.

We also know that if you lose a life while playing Mortal Kombat, your $129 Bitcoin can probably buy you another.

[...] Pig Latin of currencies.

[Missionary]

Are you sure that this article is not written in pure irony?

[RodeoX]

Read it all. What a foolish journalist.

Well... in his defense he is disclosing that he is a fool. And posting at fool.com.
I think his foolishness is spot on.

LMAO!

[SgtSpike]

Look at all the pageviews you are giving them!

I refused to click on the link.

[bb999]

The worst 'piece' I've ever read on the Fool.  Utterly worthless.

Motley Fool has long been a joke, they were one of the original newsletter scammers and their business model has not changed, as the OP states the headline is trolling for clicks like this is 2003

[Morblias]

This journalist is probably also someone who in 1990 said, "The internet is stupid. Who would use something like that? Worst idea ever."

[mgio]

No, this article is the worst idea ever. Not even the jokes are funny. And it seems to mostly be an attempt at humor.


Wow, it's amazing how misinformed they are.

I don't expect much from the fool though. They are just a scam to get you to pay them for their overpriced and probably randomly picked stock tips.

[daviducsb]

Their trolling "articles" are notoriously useless. I always leave unsavory comments because the next person can see them, and lo and behold I've seen others do the same thing. I'm not gonna click on the link, but if anyone does, at least leave a comment to offset the page view

.....

I would have been incensed had I actually given that author a click and then read this drivel.

It's amazing, the mindset of folks unable to comprehend that ideas, technology, art, and all manner of abstract things can be just as important, valuable and real as material objects. It's almost like dealing with children, and particularly dull ones at that.
