So is this how you see the BTC we've sent you? A debt you owe? 

I understand and to some extent accept that all living things behave this way, it's instinct-driven. But I can't approve of it in humans, especially not in educated ones. And you know why? Because you know your pecking order is wrong. You can't generalize "random people" as a group of mindless sheep. You don't know those random people, you don't know their story or how good or shitty their life is. Why should you treat them like they aren't as human as you? Where would we be if all the people we knew behaved this way? If your family didn't respect others and didn't show you goodness, if your dad didn't care about you as a kid more than those bucks he gave you?

I think you can only do this (and don't say 'do what?', it's getting old and you know it) so easily because you don't see any of us, we're just some text on a forum. But these are real people. It's 250 dollars you took from me man... I work my ass off to be able to put that kind of money on the side. I'm writing my master's thesis right now, I leave home at 8 am and return at 11 pm, I'm stomped, and now I have to spend time checking this forum every hour hoping that you'll have the decency to give it back.

Yes, Bitcoin is risky. You should only risk what you can afford to lose, bla bla. But I can assure you I would have never dreamed of losing 250 dollars in a day. And I'm not the only one in this situation here. There may be some who were dealing with 50 shares, but that doesn't excuse you. And this, too, you know.
