I've got you all beat:
The ultimate best way to show someone bitcoin has value (and is not fake) is to take them to your mailbox when your silkroad pot arrives. Pull out your pipe right then and let your friend take the first hit. If it's some good shit, then tell your friend you bought it with bitcoin. Maybe then your friend will believe you that bitcoin has value.
No thats more of a way to put a bad spotlight on bitcoins. And not everyone who is involved with bitcoins like to smoke pot. I personally like to be productive, not lazy.
Glad to see someone taking a stand against connecting bitcoins to drugs. Lots of idiots like the guy who posted that crap are part of the reason it's so hard to get people to embrace bitcoins.
He's probably deeply involved in that sort of thing, and that's all he thinks about.
Scum.
So everybody smoking pot are scums and idiots? Lots of closeminded people on this forum as well it seems...
You're the close minded person, as you're assuming we think -everybody- doing that is scum/idiots. Read the posts once more, and try to realize that my problem is him connecting drugs to Bitcoins, not that he smokes pot. I couldn't care less, it's a choice everyone does and I wouldn't despise another human being solely based on one thing.
