Ask Stofli to analyse the downsides experienced by multiple devaluations of the Brazilian money? Especially for the victims of those fiat money scams perpetrated by the governments he champions at every turn. He is an unashamed cheerleader for the financial destruction and poverty bought about by all the worst economic theories entrapping hundreds of millions.

First ask the victims of PirateAt40 and Karpelès and all the rest how your good, sound, deflationary Austrian money protected their wealth from those ancap libertarian champions. You are an unashamed cheerleader for the financial destruction and poverty bought about by all the worst economic theories, and the scammers who are trying to fleece hundreds of millions...

PirateAt40 was a ponzi scam, just because someone runs a scam using bitcoins doesn't mean bitcoin itself is bad. Otherwise the dollar would be much worse. Getting involved with PirateAt40 or Karpeles was a personal choice people made out of their own free will, and I sure as hell made sure to stay far away from both. Against government and banker scams however you have no choice whatsoever but sit still and watch yourself get robbed.

You are right. A scammer using bitcoin to scam should not impugn bitcoin itself. Lets keep this to the actual system, and not potential abuses.
