Come on, that may be a little harsh. Bitcoin is going to have to be comprehended by much less informed people than the OP down the line. I detect no malice intended in this thread, just lack of research. I'm sure the OP has many valuable qualities and is very intelligent on the right subject. Who knows, with time bitcoin could become such a subject and he/she could help others understand and benefit from bitcoin, but by being insulted he/she might become disillusioned with the bitcoin community, stop researching, and spread misinformation about bitcoin like that contained in the original post.
     I'm just saying having patience with new people will probably benefit us all more in the long run...
