You can mock the general populace but a niche group of people isn't going to make Bitcoin accepted worldwide. The reality is that Bitcoin had its bubble and any "potential" future of it rests with the people innovating it. These are the things my friends think (far from idiots you condescending prick) and what any other person outside of this site I've talked to. I know you don't get out much.
Nice ad hominem, but I'm sure you and your friends aren't as smart as you think you are. Your logic is naive and childish and so is the way you deal with criticism. Anyone who thinks like this is just an ignorant sheep with cliched, easily refutable opinions whether you want to admit it or not but the masses usually come to their senses and realise a good idea over time (and usually when it's too late for them to have made any money from it and they rue their ignorance). Most of these people including you and your genius friends will have likely said the same thing about the Internet -
bbbbbut you can buy child porn and scam people on it... It'll never work!And no I can't gamble with cash easily and no if I wanted to scam people there would be a large paper trail. Get your head out of your ass.
You can't gamble easily? You must either live in a country where it's banned or are underage (the latter would explain a lot).
Your pretentiousness is dripping from every word you type. I guess being staff has made you more of a pompous prick then you were before. Remember you have 13748 posts on an internet forum.
I can't gamble for example in sportsbook as there are none available in the state of California. I would have to drive to Nevada to partake in these activities. It is much easier to gamble through my computer or mobile phone with BTC which is instant for withdrawals/deposits. Fiat sportsbook online have exorbitant fees for withdrawals.
Only certain drugs are available to any person and that is through a series of real life networking. Sometimes these people aren't the nicest in the bunch and there is a chance of being hurt/robbed in a real life drug trade. It is much easier to order these products through an online marketplace and have them mailed to you.
Scams such as ponzis are illegal in most countries but they are allowed to run without impunity through
BTC. There are hundreds of cases where people have run of with hundreds/thousands of
BTC equivalent to thousands/millions of dollars. If this were with fiat, it would be much easier to track and prosecute those responsible for this.
So yes, once again, take your massive, pompous head out of your hairy, haven't washed for weeks ass and take a look at the larger picture.
