Not to be racist, but I don't know a single black person that owns a bitcoin or is in the bitcoin world.  Anyone?

Also it is very simple to test the theory about black people not being interested in bitcoins..

go to harlem or south central LA and walk through the neighbourhood wearing a nice new pair of sneakers AND an old teeshirt and write on it in big bold words "I have 100 BTC and the key is on this T-shirt"

now you get jacked and they take your sneakers but leave the T-shirt then those black people are NOT into bitcoins.
if they take your sneakers and your T-shirt then those people are into bitcoins.

and to prove that I am not being racist you can try this experiment in poor white neighbourhood and see how you go.

I'm willing to bet that in both cases you will walk out with no sneakers and no T-shirt.

give it a try and let me know how it goes...

 Grin


You are so scared of your theory that "black people not being interested in bitcoins", you pick on a poor black area. Why not pick on an affluent black area - see if any of those people understand what bitcoin is. Or is that thought too scary for ya?

You don't want to talk about bitcoins - just want to talk about poor black people stealing stuff. Classy.

To attempt to define interest in bitcoins based on skin colour is just repugnant. Leave racism at the door you pathetic buffoon.

are you going to attack me for picking on poor white people too or are you so blinded by your hatred of racists that you didn't even see that comment?

if the point was lost on you I'm happy to spell it out.... the premise of the original post was ridiculous so I suggested the he put his assertions to the test in equally ridiculous practical experiment.

so please spare me the petty childish name calling and learn how to read.

How can it be famous when most people label Scammer here as a Nigerian which is quite degrading. Africa is a huge market for cryptocurrency considering how much people sent back to home through Western Union and bank transfers.

it is political correctness gone mad when people are accused of being racist when they clearly aren't.

if I tell you to go into a poor white neighbourhood and a poor black one and your chances of being robbed are equal how the heck does that make me a racist? erm LOGIC FAIL much?

It can't be denied that Nigeria is a hotbed for e-mail fraud.

They even make songs about it.

In the GOX stream I saw a black guy protesting in Japan. He was the only person that I recognized there because I've seen his picture, posting on coindesk.

I totally agree. Is this guy actually justifying being
 racist and then has the balls to cry like a baby
about "blind hatred of racists"?
What the actual **** am I reading..
Also he's implying racism can only exist in 1 form, white people > black people.
Some people make me lose hope for the human race.

racism exists in every race, in every nation
every country has some people that believe their race is better then other races
and that is their right to believe so Smiley

they can think they're better, no one should censor your opinions but when your opinions start making actions on damage of other people that's where we should draw the line..

I have nothing against racist people, it's just that if you're better then everyone else why would you need to enslave them when you're so powerful and almighty just build things yourself Cheesy

nobody is implying anything about racism existing in only one form.... that's just a bunch of BS you made up.

how can someone be a racist when they call someone out for being blinded by their own prejudice?.. WTF how does that even make sense?..

you sir are an idiot.. go and read the original statement before you accuse people of being racist.
it is not racist at all to suggest you will be mugged in a poor black neighbourhood or a poor white neighbourhood equally. and its certainly not racist to call someone BLIND... if anything its possibly disrespectful to blind people and poor people.

if you are going to attack someone for being racist at least have the common sense to QUOTE something they said in its correct context and not just repeat what someone else misinterpreted..its people like you who sicken me.. those who are so quick to demonize others without even understanding what was said...

seriously get off my back and go find a real racist to bash.... its people like you that make me lose faith in your countries education system...
