Mervyn, Are you saying bitcoin doesn't create wealth?

Yes, exactly! Bitcoin doesn't even aim to create wealth. It aims to store and transfer wealth, but because of it's overly simplistic financial properties, it fails to succeed in it's goals. Without a mechanism to keep stable unit value, bitcoin is a gimmick of an currency, that is more of an innovative gambling platform, then a serious financial tool.

Why do you bother with it then?

because he is on a payroll. I wonder if they get paid per post or monthly. and some bonus if price really tanks...
credit cards, banks... the old powers will not just sit and watch btc succeeding.

The banks and cc companies have enough money to fuck up the market completely. They would hardly even notice it.
They're not gonna spend a few 100 here and there for some trolls to make Bitcoin fail. Get real.
