The tards there just don't get Bitcoin.
They are a bunch of old geezers who are polishing their AR15's and their gold bricks and don't see any other way to preserve their capital (if they have any) from the evil banks and the FED.
You can't sink Bitcoins in a lake and pretend it was a boating accident so they don't want it.
They say think like "It's TOO-LIPS and a PONZI and the mighty government will ban it and take away all your Bitcoins whilst I'm sitting in on my porch with gun in hand defending my gold stash."
