Well you're not better than them if you're actually feared that "bitcoin network was shutdown"
Time to go back to Speculation and troll more.... Or you actually gave up on that?
What? I didn't think the network was somehow taken down, I was afraid another exchange got hacked or something bad happened recently. Why are you being hostile?
and the problem with this and many other stories is:
I didn't feel like correcting them or anything so I just kept quite.
too many people don't want to poke the bear and correct people or even ask the right questions to get to the truth. they prefer to just let it ride, just to not cause a debate or evoke emotions that someone is wrong.
i call these people 'sheeple' who follow other people based on feelings, that just coast through life and will never be seen at a protest or attempt to confront a scammer and slap them with a wet fish.
.. welcome to the human race. just a shame its a egg and spoon race where people concentrate on the egg 12 inches from their nose.. and not a marathon where people are looking 26 miles infront of them
So you are calling me a sheep because I did not correct them? I really did not want to get into a bitcoin 101/debate session at work, and there was nothing I could say that would convince them of bitcoin at that moment. I did not care if they invested their own money into it either. It's like me trying to convince people to buy Apple stock. I'm not gonna try to convince people it's a good investment when I'm not completely sure myself. I could have corrected them about how the creator can't just "shut bitcoin down" but like I said I didn't wanna get into all that at work, from their comments it was clear they had no understanding of bitcoin... to explain why they're wrong I would have to explain how bitcoin works from the ground up which would take time and I didn't see this as an appropriate time for that.
And wtf do you mean I follow people based on feeling? Keep talking out of your ass
People like you who "preach" bitcoin like it's a new religion are the ones making the members look like a cult and the whole concept shady. I'm just a regular guy involved with bitcoin as an investment
