Wow, the intelligence level of this sub forum has fallen to an all time low. I don't even know where to begin. So now anyone in the masses that buys bitcoin is considered a religious fanatic? I guess everyone that acquires fiat currency of one kind or another is considered a religious fanatic too?
If I had to buy my fiat in the street or depend on "exchanges" which charge me fees before absconding with all mah money, you'd have a point. As it stands, your comparison falls a bit flat.
It's very simple: the masses that acquire and want to use bitcoin simply believe that it is a BETTER form of currency than any other option they are given atm. ...
Wat? You're posting on a speculation forum. We buy Bitcoin because we think the price will move.
