Speaking as an American here, ask yourself, reader, why are we as a society so terrified of disobedience, but not at all fearful of obedience?

You can buy more and more things with Bitcoin but I still (for now).

Not a wise idea because many clients still pay with fiat and bitcoin is too volatile to invest all in. Anyone who is paid in bitcoin would also be wise to convert half their paycheck at least into a stable fiat so they aren't forced to spend thier BTC on the dips. It will take a few more years before one can begin to start to suggest this tactic as a wise financial decision. |

I blame fluoridated water, high fructose corn syrup, chemtrails, and Obama. The generation that grew up watching The Simpsons for 20 years now thinks that stupidity is fun and cool. That explains why the Republicans, after G. W. Bush, were divided between Palin, Santorum, and Romney. It is not a coincidence that The Simpsons are on Fox (and are Fox's most popular program). |

It doesn't sound like you are "inBitweTrust", and nobody asked for your wisdom anyway. Yes, there are plenty of people who are "all in", with no bank account. I'm one of them, and despite the previous comment, it's worked out well. Would be nice to pay my bills with bitcoin though... |

I am as bullish as they come with bitcoin but lets be honest with ourselves here .... Yes, there are plenty of people who are "all in", with no bank account. I'm one of them, and despite the previous comment, it's worked out well.
I can see it working well if you live in a country with hyperinflation like Venezuela but than again bitcoin isn't exactly too useful there anyways because lack of merchants for such region. Are there any countries yet that have fiat which are more volatile than bitcoin that have decent merchant acceptance yet? Would be nice to pay my bills with bitcoin though...
How do you pay your bills if you went all in? Perhaps your definition of "all in" is different than mine? Additionally, wouldn't you benefit financially by leveraging both local fiat and bitcoin to insure that you always getting a discount when purchasing goods and services with bitcoin. I keep track of the price of bitcoin when received or purchased and than will only use it when it is higher than my initial investment and when the market price is lower will use my fiat thus insuring another benefit(amongst many ) with bitcoin. |

How many asleep sheep are mentally ill? The thing is OP has just showed us what will be spun against us in the future to discredit Bitcoin and the community at large, that will be the propaganda when they are ready anyone using BTC is mentally ill skitso's, society outcasts, conspiracy believers, druggy's etc majority aged 18 - 40 male they already have us profiled and this is actually probably close lol but if seeing the truth to the world makes you mentally ill, i hold my hand up and head up high. If closing you're eyes and going with the system makes you sane then well i would still rather be so called crazy  |

If we were to get diagnosed with anything, it would be higher intelligence than the average 'sheep'.
lol. And then they'd probably 'diagnose' you as a conspiracy theorist or something. Seen it happen many times. I wouldn't mind. Why do the authorities then wonder when some people snap and stuff goes the wrong way..? The majority of people don't understand P2P, not to mention Bitcoin. It's not a matter of 'taste' (i.e. some prefer art, natural sciences or whatever). as some claim, it's a matter of intelligence. Soon, not knowing how to properly use technology will be the same as to not knowing how to read or write. |

I am going to hope that isn't the case. There are many of us that are trying hard so that no one is required to learn anything about bitcoin if they don't want to and nevertheless depend upon it daily regardless. This is akin to your grandmother watching cat memes on youtube and not knowing anything about HTML5/CSS/Javascript/TCP/IP/Flash which all make it possible for her to do so. Bitcoin will truly succeed when even people that hate it for political/philosophical reasons end up using it daily without even knowing they are doing so. |

I think if you're at all capable of grasping bitcoin, the whole concept, in the first place, there's little damn chance you're at risk of being mentally ill. The required level of intelligence to understand bitcoin, the foundation of bitcoin, the blockchain, the point, the nuances of economics, and the dynamics of bitcoin is not a sign of a weak mind susceptible to mental illness. The idiots in comment sections who continually call people names, troll these and similar forums hollering bitcoin's end times and have nothing else to do but post over and over day in and day out trying to warn everyone against it, it's in its "death throws" as one put it in a comments section earlier - now those ones are soft in the head and could probably make do with a visit to a psychiatrist. this....especially as we have been non educated about what currency is, that is Fiat is just given as a fait accompli. In 2004 I gave a lecture to my fellow law of banking elective takers in a top 20 law school in the world, and their eyes glazed over when I started to explain Fiat to them, CRR, FRB etc...hell I had to phone the central bank just to confirm everything I had said was right. Satoshi has now put that squarely in the discourse. FRB/Central banking is not always bad, but it is almost always corrupted without competition. Competition to the state monopoly is a facet of BTC. Can we please confirm this chain of events. 1) 11 years ago you were giving a lecture to your fellow "law of banking elective takers" in one of the worlds 20 best law schools. 2) As your fellow law of banking elective takers started getting sleepy, you decided to call the central bank on speaker phone and repeat the lecture to the telephone operator who confirmed your lecture as valid to the class?! |

Do you still believe in 1mm per coin? aint that mentally ill? I believed in $1000 coins when it was $20. Slander was exactly the same back then. (If you seriously want to know what I believe or do not, this post shows that on average, I believe that we are at $13,000 or so in 5 years, although the variance is great) |

genius and madness, it's nothing new. almost all great artists and scientists were somewhat bi-polar. i believe it's an evolutionary thing. Not everyone who is close to madness can manifest their genius. Only the "fittest" ideas (and implementations) survive. also, people who are considered normal by social standards do not have the motivation or guts to foray into experimental territories such as this. and: https://i.imgur.com/dxwxN5C.jpgActually, wouldn't being able to tolerate more stress make you a healthier person ?.. |
