I think the point many of you are missing is that we've gotten away from the ideals bitcoin was under-- namely to stop the greed of the big banks and reclaim our monetary system. However, most of the community only cares about pump and dumps, insider trading and manipulation. Most are just as bad if not worse than what BTC was rebelling against. The article doesn't pretend to have any answers, but aims to open up a dialogue on how to continue to grow this community before we all eat each other alive.
I can't control what other people do, I can control what I do. Are there ignorant, greedy, untrustworthy people in the Bitcoin "community" (and I use the term loosely). Absoluete. Last time I checked there are ignorant, greedy, untrustworthy people in the human race.
I am not going to eat anyone alive, nobody is going to eat me alive either. I will wakeup each day and go to work trying to improve the services our clients have come to rely on. In my free time I try to break complicated concepts down to a level that a non-developer can understand. Based on feedback it seems I am succeeding at least part of the time at both. What "everyone else" does is beyond my sphere of influence.
So who is the "open dialog to"? The people who are ignorant, greedy, and dishonest, who I would imagine aren't going to be receptive? The people who are not and thus it is just preaching to the choir?
