Bitcoin seems to be the worst magnetic attractant for criminals since the prohibition era liquor business or the 40s-50s Vegas gambling business. Too bad Bitcoin didn't exist in the mid 20th century. The Chicago, New York and Vegas La Cosa Nostra would have loved it. LOL
Internet, irreversible, quasi anonymous, moronic users. It's just about the single most perfect petri dish for dishonesty ever conceived.
I know, right? It's pure perfection. Not to mention being the best source of comedy gold there is.
I just posted "LOL" in so many whining threads about "somebody stole my bitcoins, how do I get them back" that I almost got permabanned.
ROFL
I just can't help but laugh at them either, although I feel bad about it but still.
Can't really blame them for not knowing enough about bitcoins though and ignorance is a bliss is not a good excuse.
Nah, feel free to laugh at the idiots. I had a professor in college that responded this way to one of the more hippie liberal students. The student wanted everyone to share equally in the wealth of society. The professor said, "some people are just too stupid, poor or lazy to educate themselves. I'm not sharing what I have with those lazy fools. If you want to give them all of your money, go right ahead but I believe the world needs low paid ditch diggers too".
He was right. I'm not leaving my big house in San Francisco to drive over to Salinas and pick my own spinach. Let the idiots do that job. In the immortal words of the English poet Thomas Tusser, "A fool and his money are soon parted".
