How many people here got involved in bitcoin because you couldn't function in the normal economy, or in society at large? I'm seriously asking because the idea of a currency that specifically draws the unstable members of society is fascinating from a social psychology perspective. There are certainly a very high number of sociopaths leading the bitcoin community (which explains the continuous scams and thefts of the beta member resources). Anyway if there are any normal members here you might want to commission a social worker to survey this forum for potential suicide/homicide risks or a psych researcher to try to and determine what factors of the bitcoin system are selecting for dredges. Cheers! 
LOL at this thread.
I'm sure it will offend some people to admit it, but when I examine my facts I suppose you are right. No doubt the insane highs and lows of the price can exacerbate the mania over these past few years. I wouldn't have it any other way!
Me:
1. came to bitcoin partly because I was shut out of the normal economy
2. have been diagnosed with mental illness in the past, but i don't do anything about it because i think my state of mind is normal.
