Why stop there? We could destroy an entire planet, or even an entire solar system... That should stop it, right?

It'd destroy the implementation, yeah, but not the idea. Ideas are bulletproof.

Now, @Antithesis, I answered your questions, even though you weren't a potential Bitcoin buyer in the first place. You denied all of my answers 'cause you think they're irrational. Unfortunately, your mind was set before you submit this. So I guess, we'll have to agree we disagree.

I asked for rational reasons. Not excuses for entering the system. You're basically saying that I should trade my ownership of something for the ownership of nothing because you've accepted the record of the latter as a currency. Which is as nonsensical as saying: "I've traded my car for monopoly money because I accepted it as a money." Or, I've traded my house for a record in a ponzi scheme because I accepted this record as a bond. Well, in your imagination you can decide to accept whatever you want. But that's not doing business. That's trying to justify irrational behavior.

If you want to discuss that water is wet and the sky is blue you should find someone else.

While I can see the blue sky every morning, and feel the water wet every time I touch it, I've never experienced anybody stopping Bitcoin from the moment it was created. Yet, you claim that it is a truism, and that it needs no proof. How is that?

Yeah, but we can't live off ideas, can we? ^{(assuming we survive the destruction of the solar system)} Cheesy

So, you've never experienced that financial schemes, where people hold the record of membership but own nothing, collapse? Interesting.
