Valid reason to be angry? How about "damaging the public image and stability of Bitcoin at a time that is absolutely irreplaceable for reaching critical mass, which could change global economics forever," is that a valid reason for you?

Where is the damage? Obviously, your belief is worthy of anger and hostility and attempts at defamation.

Maybe you're right. Maybe people are looking to get involved with Bitcoin, but stop because of that evil BS&T thing which is apparently more popular than Bitcoin itself. It must be obvious that everyone who installs a Bitcoin client is instantly enrolled in Pirate's program as well.

The rest of that post is going nowhere. If I assume the business to be a Ponzi, there is no protection in changing rates one way or another. Making people responsible for their mistakes does not mean you can scam them. Whatever businesses I have run, my track record in Bitcoin speculation should speak for itself, just look up my posts around trend changes. The question who has ever run a legitimate business is an interesting one though, and I won't take gpumax for an answer. Oh, right, I'm not talking with Pirate. I tend to forget, the posts sometimes seem as if you are talking in his stead.

You're going to leave just when your own arguments are being debunked? Not very sportsmanlike.

If you believe this to be a Ponzi, is anyone forcing you to put your money into it like a bank bailout? Is anyone with a BS&T deposit being forced to do anything, even if it might seem too good to be true for most?

I'll make this as easy as possible for you: speculation in markets has nothing to do with running a business, and if people never have to make their own determination on whether something is a scam or not, how would they ever know? What it you've gotten so used to assuming everything is a Ponzi scheme that you can't recognize a valid enterprise?

Has there been any wrongdoing? Do you have any way of proving so? Are your funds involved? If not, then you've stated your case as others have been for months. It's been mildly amusing; now please take the Don Quixote routine and be on your way.
