So, in other words, you'd be loving any service that allows you to make money, regardless of how it operates? No matter that it could be a sort of pyramid scheme or something of that kind?

The 'cloud mining' services are evil. Period. If you care about bitcoins you hold, you should care about mining centralization too. These services centralize mining even more, I don't even mention ridiculous prices and absence of any guarantees that these GH/s even exist and aren't being used to perform malicious activity.

People should stop being narrow-minded and see a greater picture, not just look for a quick profit.

The moment you tell people why they "should be" or what they "should do", you lost the game. It's that simple.

Well I didn't want to say that people "should do" something, it could happen because I'm not english native.

I am not an English speaker also. That's cool.

Now that the bitcoin is out there in the wild, people will do whatever people do. A joe-shmo like myself who has not written a single line of code in 7 years will try to grab and run with a piece of it. It's a wild ride ahead. Anything that will create even a small advantage for public to make money, can and will be used against bitcoin.

I think we exhaustively answered the question of "why people use cex.io"

Yep, but my point is that it's short-sighted and risky. It may be profitable, but it's bad for Bitcoin. At least people could avoid shooting themselves in the feet.
