You know folks...I have not been able to make any money with bitcoin it is just a passing scam...We have paypal and transfer systems much more reliable and that are not a hotbed for snake oiling scamming theives (the anonymous nature of BTC is their magnet).

I am tending to side with Warren Buffett recently.

Thieves and scammers use Paypal and Western Union too. It's not a bitcoin problem, it comes down to how careful each individual is with where they put their money and HOW they use their money. Whether it's bitcoin or fiat, as long as something has a perceived value, a percentage of the population will try to trick you out of it.

This is true and BTC is the logical anonymous magnet..I do not need btc to transfer money...I do not have the calling. We all make choices and I have decided for myself btc is going nowhere its just a passing fancy. I have been wrong all my life about things...so chances are that I am wrong...I have a bitter taste in my mouth from btc and my decisions...can't change that.
