Once upon a time there was a guy named Bob.

The End.
Thanks, it was a good read, and I hate Bob!
You make some cool effort to keep us away from alt-coin scams.
I just have one complaint though: I was 30 yrs old when I started reading that; and when finished, I was 36.
I've watched Bitcoin from the beginning and can tell you Bobs no different or bad then all of the early "soldiers" of Bitcoin. They were all here just to pump the coin, hide the truth and make big cash fast. Replace Bob with Erik Voorhees, James McCarthy or any of the early Bitcointalk preachers and you end up with the same thing. The coins aren't bad, the devs are doing their jobs but the preachers and pumpers are only here to line their pockets. Most people are only using Bitcoin to line their pockets. They sure as hell aren't here because they give a shit about the ideals of Bitcoin.
It is a little like reading the forum version of "War and Peace".
LOL.. of course i care about bitcoins core fundamentals... I just dont care about all the alts because bitcoin is the one and only.
