What's the most stupid comment you've heard about bitcoin?

[byt411]

Most stupid thing?
"What? Currency on a computer? Are you stupid? You just copy and paste that bitcoin thing and you are a millionaire, I have never heard such a retarded thing coming out of a person's mouth!"

Yeah, I know it's ridiculous.

My SO has banned me from buying bitcoin. I watched bitcoin go down to $425 / BTC on coinbase briefly a couple days ago, but I was unable to take advantage of it. My SO has declared, "Bidcoin is just a ponzi scheme cooked up by nerds. If you buy any bidcoin, I will break up with you. I don't sleep with nerds."  

I had the same thing happen between me and my wife. After some time of disagreement, I finally sat down with her, showed her how bitcoins worked, described how she could use it, and answered all her questions about it. She grudgingly accepts the idea, she now asks "how are my bitcoins doing, are we rich yet?" (since everything that is mine is actually hers.)

If you are a nerd your SO should accept that about you. If they cannot accept who you are, why are you together?

The most stupid thing one of my friends said: "I'm going to mine dogecoin*, it is going to make me rich like the early miners of bitcoin"

*another friend said the same thing about zombiecoin.

So, I called up my "nerd" buddy and told about the low price, he bought in and now is sitting on a 30% profit. He made $3000 in less than 48 hours (he bought at $450/BTC, it's now $585 on Winkdex). My "nerd" buddy bought me a beer. At least I got a beer out of it.   (I have to look at it from the bright side)

Sounds to me like she got you by the balls

"Most stupid comment" (that wasn't already mentioned)

"Bitcoins will not be worth a damn thing in the future. It's just like credit-cards and paypal..."

Yea, because those are doing horrible at the moment... and their limited supply is the root of their falling. (Sarcasm)

I honestly advise you to get a new SO. And not because of bitcoin.

I honestly advise him to get a pair of balls.

if you mine coins, take your SO out for a meal in a place that accepts bitcoins. then only pay half the bill. the your SO you would pay the whole bill, but your SO already agreed they dont want anything to do with it. that they better change their mind right away and youll pay the other half of the meal or they will pay for it themselves.

when it comes to costing them something because they are not involved, they do suddenly start getting interested. just to save themselves some money

But does she bang nerds... Who cares if she sleeps with them?

Dump her ass and get a real woman... Invest in BTC, get rich, and then invite her to the wedding with your new wife. Works every time...

Or stay single, masturbate more, and buy lots of toys... Like I do!

Yep. Same here, look at my previous post above. Seriously, people don't even understand what they are criticizing!

All alternate currencies are illegal.

All alternate currencies are illegal.

Illegal under what laws, may I ask?

[dogechode]

for the record, I remember reading stories about communities in the US where local merchants and citizens got together and created local currencies to help them weather the storm during the really bad economic climate after the mortgage/housing bubble burst. So you can use that when some idiot says bitcoin or whatever is illegal - at least if they are in the USA.

Nephew: Have you heard of Bitcoin?

Nephew: Give me some!
Me:  WTF!!!
