John Crudele of the NY Post Calls Bitcoin a “Confidence Game”

In his article, John Crudele starts his article by outright calling Bitcoin a “worldwide scam” and calling Bitcoin investors “gullible,” “Bitcoin loons,” and “Bitloons” while referring to MIT professors as “adults” while the students working with their experiment, as “kids.” It’s not just MIT students and Bitcoin enthusiasts whom he was insulting towards, but people working for CNBC were referred to as “idiots.”

Poster "montreal" found a nice rebuttal to Crudele's crud in an earlier thread about it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=760972.msg8585172#msg8585172
