Their abject terror and fear of Bitcoin amuses me.
It's so bad they do not even try to understand what Bitcoin is. They just attack FUD, attack, FUD, attack, because Bitcoin challenges *everything*.
interesting times indeed...
Yup, this was quite mild, but I really enjoy reading the mega Fear + Attack ones like the famous NZ one (

The hostile ones shine a light on the vast chasm between the programmers and those who have no idea about computing - Even though they are happy to make use of end products for computing every day - and will probably be using
BTC in time without even knowing it.
Basically it looks like the same egocentric thinking :
It won't work because it isn't what I know works, and I like what I know and don't like what I don't know. This isn't what I know and therefore it can't work because I don't get it and its hard anyway. Besides gov won't allow it and the geeks are all over it and ... degrades to can't be used except only for bad things ...
