Circle is everything that Bitcoin was created to stand against.

Care to elaborate a bit? I don't get the hatred on these forums for the idea of a safe exchange with insured holdings. I don't really have enough information yet to make up my mind about it so I am curious as to how it is so bad for bit coin.

Circle is highly centralised, which is something Bitcoin in general tries to avoid.
However, Circle seems like it could be great for beginners and would make more newbies interested in Bitcoin.

Overstock.com is highly centralized too.

So is CoinBase, BitStamp, BitPay, and just about any business that uses Bitcoin.

True. I think Circle just reminds Bitcoiners too much of traditional banking.
