what i dont understand is that people mock agains us HERE in bitcointalk.org
no problem, you dont have to be a fan. go somewhere else, dont troll us.
it is like some mentally unbalanced men, standing somewhere in the middle of the traffic with a plate 'the end is near'.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_CaveWe're just trying to prevent more victims. I know no one wants to admit it now, but some of you have spent tens of thousands of dollars on hardware to "mine" bitcoins. There are people who bought into the idea of bitcoins @ $28 each, then bought more at every step downward. Those people are victims who were led astray by this community. Because there aren't enough people here who are willing to call out the bullshit.
But more to the OP, what can I buy with bitcoins that I cannot buy with paypal? Ok, drugs from Silk Road. What else?
I hear what your saying in regards to people investing hard earned money only to be left with nothing but the trolls were doing more then that in my opinion. As for your question regarding buying with Bitcoins vs Paypal I don't think anyone is making the case one is better then the other just the fact we can have a decentralized system for making payments. I mean look at wikileaks and how they have come to a complete halt due to Visa/MasterCard/ Paypal and everyone else cutting off their access to funds.
