Rejections is the norm for fringe ideas, even fringe ideas that work. (It's also part of being an entrepreneur)
Nothing to see here...move on.

Also the best things are often the most polarizing. For example, the iPhone.

I can admit that the high speed money printing presses do lead to one form of economic stimulus: either you spend your money or it becomes worthless. A little like how you'd had to receive your daily paycheque in Germany and then run to the baker to buy bread before it was worthless.
All that does is lead to inefficient spending of finite resources as companies are fooled by monetary profit. Deflationary spiral, especially of the growth spiral, kill companies that aren't efficient. I'm confused about your position here Kiba. I would say that Bitcoin will suffer from a deflationary spiral as it reaches the limited amount of 'bitcoins' that can be generated. Deflationary spirals are bad. Right?

http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6317.msg92580;boardseen#newMoved. And I don't believe in "deflationary spiral". Time preference theory cited.

That guy said Bitcoin is a fail because it doesn't have a Federal Reserve and because it's similar in his mind to WoW gold. AND he's an econ major!
|
That which is falling should also be pushed.

Gavin said something really interesting in his twist interview: bitcoin is "pure money" ...I can't think of a better way of describing bitcoin. But people like the one cited by the OP clearly demonstrate that most people do not understand what money is.

Econ majors tend to be the people LEAST able to understand bitcoin.
