Posts outside of this forum, and even here, are full of comments talking about early adopter unfairness...

How can people on the one hand call investors "suckers taking crazy risk with a nerdy fantasy currency" and in the same breath call them "unfair beneficiaries of an early adopter scheme" when their risk actually pays off?

No one stopped you from investing in bitcoins or getting in early (and no one is stopping you now, either). You didn't do it because you were averse to the risk. So, stop complaining about how it's "unfair."

This is like a bailout in reverse: Take the risk that goes with speculation, but Lose you lose, and win you get accused of unfairness.


Anyone giving any merit to that argument at all is 1) an idiot 2) jealous 3) possibly communist.
