It's like if you would give me $100 and in return I would give you a paper sticker saying "Thanks".

Analogies isn't your strong point.

A "Thanks" sticker can't be sent across communication channels nearly instantly, in a censorship-resistant fashion. I can't send it across the world for a cent. It isn't resistant to confiscation. It can't be possessed in a divided manner. It doesn't grant me the access to an independent and transparent network, wherein users can verify that it has changed hands, without knowing who's the new owner. Sticker users can't verify who mints them, how many they are, how hard it is to create new ones, which part of the supply they own, because there's no transparency. Owning stickers doesn't give you the option to store messages on an immutable ledger.

With bitcoin, you do gain these benefits. That's why we're all willing to trade monetary value for it. You can whine about it, make videos, call it ponzi, lie about non-existent resources, bring friends to this thread, but you won't get to enjoy these benefits otherwise. We do.

I agree with all of your points BlackHatCoiner, including that those who participate directly in bitcoin will receive more benefits than those who do not; however, I do believe that even no coiner twats like Snowshow will benefit from bitcoin and in terms of there existing a more fair money that causes unfair systems to try to be more fair if they want to survive.

Of course, no coiner Snowshow is not going to recognize or appreciate that he is getting indirect benefits from the existence of bitcoin, even though he is personally refusing (or believes that he is refusing) to directly and/or consciously participate in using my lil precious.
