The massive amount of anti-bitcoin trolls on this forum, reddit and twitter is a blatant sign to me that we are on the right path. Since we're encountering so much opposition we must be doing something right! Bitcoin will rule the internet of monies in a few years then we can all sit back and laugh at the old days doubt and speculation.
No, it only shows that the "trolls" are trying to tell new people that come to read this forum the truth, possibly avoiding them with financial ruin and a future of obsessed gambling addicts.For the permabulls there is no hope, the "trolling" is not for them, those will just baghold for the end of eternity.
Aww so you're just trying to help people?
But yes, I'm trying to show bitcoin's huge limitations to help new people make a more rational decision before dumping real money into this.
What's the alternative? "FUDding to get cheap coins?"
Limitations? Have you ever developed your own shopping cart to sell something online and sign on up with a 3rd party processor who not only takes a % of every sale but also charges you $x per month, and sign up for SSL? With bitcoin you can set up your own webstore in a few hours, no 3rd party payment processors fees, no SSL, more money for the merchant, better prices for the people. But you're not for the people, are you?
And if you want to avoid volatility converting to fiat you still need a trusted third party and you need to pay fees.
Fees are usually for consumer protection, it's not because trusted third parties are evil. With bitcoin right now you don't have much fees*, but if something goes wrong and a hacker steals your private keys/coins, it's game over.
*fees are low now that miners
