Also putting faith in the opinion of people who majored in finance, who are bankers and brokers is the most laughable thing I've ever heard of since a lot of them will almost certainly be Neo-Keynesians and Keynesian economics seems to me to be more of a religion than anything involving logic, mathematics or even common sense so I'm afraid you're going to get mocked for that one.

Hon, this right here is what's wrong with the majority of the BitCoin community. They think they know better than the professionals. They don't. This is exactly why all the BitCoin exchanges fail. This is why people get sucked into so many scams. The lay-man really doesn't know best. BitCoinTalk is an absolute textbook example of the Dunning-Kreuger effect.

I haven't fallen for scams so I think I do know better than these professionals Roll Eyes

yes, Bitcoin exchanges fail, yes, there are ponzi and investment schemes, however that isn't to do with Bitcoin, that's just humanity at work, you think you don't have to deal with scam artists in other currencies? Of course you do in fact some of these people you lot seem to blindly put your faith in have been involved in some scams bigger than anything people in the Bitcoin community have come up with so far and they've been at it for longer.

The problem here is not that you're criticizing Bitcoin but its the way that the problems you're all describing have nothing to do with the currency itself but the people and that's a fact, you lot need to learn how to take criticism yourself really, if scams are all that Bitcoin critics can come up with as a problem with the currency then it's probably going to do pretty damn well compared to all the other fiat currencies.
