You call people who buy a cryptocurrencie fools?
Short answer: yes, mostly.
(most people are fools anyway - hence why 1% has all the riches and the other 99% whine&complain)
Long answer: Why do you think Joe Sixpack is trading on MtGox? Because he want's to have a revolution, fight tyranny, capitalist pigs? Or because he buys Bitcoin today at 120 because tomorrow it will be at 140?
