Krugman has a NB prize..
Obama has a NB prize.. he goes around slaughter 1000's a day............... A peice price? Only a moron things the NB prizes mean anything any more, only a moron.
Al gore gets one for a Fing speach on global warming.. himself being a large problem... instead of a woman that saved 1000's from the nazis.. like I said.. only a moron.
Last year they gave one to the European Union. It's a fucking joke. Newton's rolling over in his grave. That was the peace Nobel prize, not the economics one. The former is well deserved imo (hey, 60 years without wars on our continent is kind of a big deal), the latter would have been a joke.

Maybe I should make one thing clear:
I'm personally not anti-academic.
I'm just anti-'economy pretending to be an empirical science, when in reality, the field is better described as: ethics, with a thin veneer of empiricism'
Imo academia in general is not all that rosy either. Far too much politics, prestige-seeking, grant-whoring, group mentality etc involved in an institution that should primarily be about attaining knowledge and understanding. But I guess it's kind of unavoidable. Wherever there are humans involved this is bound to happen.

... Notice how you do it? Never admit you were wrong, always gradually backpedal. From "It's a bubble, and not that interesting.", to "It's pretty interesting, but still needs lots of work to become usable". Expect "It's going to revolutionize the financial world, and I _TOLD_ you so years ago." anytime soon... ...
Yeah, many former naysayers are now saying things like "The bitcoin protocol is interesting and probably has some value, but the currency itself is bad."... Well, trouble is, you can't separate the currency from the network and still retain the features that give the network value, so if they're admitting (as Peter Schiff now is) that the network/tech has value, then that's an implicit statement of support for the currency having fundamental value, regardless of whether or not they actually realize that.

these are always great threads.
we need to memorialize these mainstream obstructionists and apparatchiks who have actively blocked and impeded the progress of Bitcoin so that years from now maybe they will be held accountable.

the average Bitcoiner will tell you " go fuck your self" and will add " what this PHD holder and nobel winner know about economics", in fact Bitcoin price is a bubble but it doesn't mean that it will die, but it will settle and start a normal growth when it hits the real economy... see the bubble was because of the small userbase but when the user base is bigger and market is bigger it will harder to move the price 10X a year. life cycle of a bubble![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FW4auDjC.png&t=665&c=49YV-wH-gbwGvQ) No offense, but anybody posting this chart should be banned from forums until he goes to school to learn that 350 is more than 100. Since you obviously didn't, can you maybe spare us from your very important observations?

Journalists don't have the same impact... because economic forecasting is not their area of expertise. Actually, journalists could be called out if their articles are factually incorrect... except then we'd have to put them ALL on the list. :-(

+1 bitsofshame, great website idea... Would be nice to see the main page with a randomised "quote of the day". Pic, small bio, plus a quote. Perhaps also for each entry, show the %rise of Bitcoin since then? Phrased as the return on investment you missed out on by listening to the person in question. --> Actually, perhaps calling it even "shame" is a bit... cultist. Or at least could be considered that way. It might be better to call it something like "BitcoinIsBad.com", "BitcoinIsABubble.com". Then the humour is more self-referential. I'm a little bit confused here though... Wasn't the $1000+ a bubble? And isn't Bitcoin volatile currently?
Yeah, I don't think that particular quote is the best example of a bit-idiot. But, >I'm amazed by how people are so excited about itShows a considerable lack of foresight.
