Let's get this straight: I'm not some misguided philanthropist, trying to save you from yourself. My interests are purely selfish, as I have already made clear. I'll repeat, since it obviously hasn't sunk in -- I don't want my participation in Bitcoin to be a source of embarrassment for me. I don't want a seemingly limitless supply of suckers to attract scammers, who, in turn, attract LEO and regulators. What better excuse to regulate Bitcoin out of existence than "just look at it -- it's nothing but scammers fleecing people!"
I'm ridding *my* Bitcoin of vermin because *I live here*. I don't want people shitting up where *I* sleep.
so what are you doing to prevent this? just not wanting it? i dont think this will be effective; it hasnt worked for me in the past.
i dont think what i perceive to be your current strategy (contributing opinions that have little to do with the topic of discussion in order to generate confusion/dissent) is effective either.
You cannot exist with bitcoin in a vacuum. it needs people to grow and proliferate. so we either need to educate these "suckers" or what we both can agree on (btc) will be lost to us. we can stop these scammers together, man. thats what these threads are for. but only through rational discourse and synthetic thought.
please help me save bitcoin. even if you do have selfish motivations; our wills can align. i cant do this alone, i need all the help i can get.
