isnt the whole point of AIDS, to be spread? but do we want to do this, no as it is not good for society.
bitcoin is not just about spreading it around, its about giving people the informed choice and allowing merchants to choose what is best by informing them of all the information.
i feel there has been too much spreading bitcoin ignorantly, which leads the ill informed to get involved with something that they dont understand enough to utilise fully. hense they panic at the smallest piece of propaganda and run like hell.
You are comparing BTC to AIDS? How can you even compare those two things, while we are spreading things that are in now way associated to BTC lets spread love also, Ebola, Dengue fever.... If its not good why are you using it then, well considering you are a part of society?
Merchants? Sorry but what? Now it is practically impossible to make BTCs using miners ( you can but it will take way too long ), so you can mine LTC and other more profitable coins and its on a person who needs them to buy them for cash or exchange for other currency ( BTC for example ).
People who enter this "game" by reading on forums, or they are told by a friend to invest... don't have large amounts so they can't effect price like " big players " that have few millions in BTC, and people who have that much are not stupid to lose 20-30% by selling and running like scary little rabbits...
