Definitely... Thomas Sohmers, a 17-year-old wiz kid and chief executive of a high-performance server startup, said he has explored the technology and is not interested in it. "It's a kind of Ponzi or pyramid scheme where the people who get in first reap the most rewards," said Sohmers on the show floor of the OCP event. (...) "It's the biggest waste of processing power in the world,"

This is yet another example of tech 'gurus' knowing absolutely bugger all about technology. Or bothering to actually read up a little before they make sweeping statements.

Exactly. How could a "whiz kid" be so blind? And what about remittances to poor families overseas who are getting raped daily by Western Union and Co.? I guess he wants to reinvent the wheel... Little known fact, Thomas Sohmers is the bastard child of Peter Schiff.

BTC = Black Swan. BTC = Antifragile - "Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Robust is not the opposite of fragile.

Bitcoin was used for the illicit Silk Road operation and speculators, but lacks legitimate uses, Sohmers said. However he noted that online tech shop Tiger Direct recently announced it will accept bitcoin. Sohmers says Bitcoin lacks legitimate uses... then he gives an example of a legitimate use. *facepalm*
