...why exactly are people quite blatantly trying to attack the idea of Bitcoin so much?
...It definitely doesn't make sense because surely if a system is flawed and going to break anyway the sensible thing to do would be to stay back and let it implode on it's own rather than rush it's demise.
Because we (I) see that as wonderful as the
ideal is, Bitcoin's
flaws could mean
it can be much worse than cash and put all of us (no choice for anyone any more) into a very severe slavery system.
we have open source and altcoins so we can find out what works best
Agreed.
If Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are really that bad though, why do opponents of it not only attack it on their own private networks and channels but feel the need to literally come over here and lecture us about what a piss poor thing Bitcoin is?
This community is the Bitcoin ecosystem which includes all altcoins, not just Bitcoin's protocol. We have a right to be here too.
The discourse adds more veracity to the truth.
Since our ideal is all about truth, then what are you afraid of?
the more angry and incoherent they get.
Who is angry? Seems like it is the Bitards who don't like our arguments and logic.
