You know things that I don't, or that are different from what I've read and believe.
1. Bitcoin is often mined where electricity is cheap.
Obviously
2. It can negate the electricity price by raising it for the people living in the area, and can cause black outs during your favorite TV show.
Source? Sounds like paranoia
3. The ultimate goal is to make money with other people's money.
Support for that? If you mean by trading, WELCOME TO PLANET EARTH.
4. The people who are most interested in bitcoin are the hackers, thieves, the corrupt investment companies, banks, drug dealers, loan sharks, bandits, mafia, crooks, rip-off artists, government clowns, magicians with fake masks from the circus, dicktators, ...
LOL, ya I'm sure $115B market cap is nothing but immoral criminals....
5. Ultimately people lose their life savings, commit suicide, just vanish from circulation.
Just like they do when they go to the casino or getting addicted to heroin... not a problem of Bitcoin
6. Only the thieves drive away in their Testarossas and sipping martinis in the most exotic world's beaches.
Who doesn't want to be a thieve if that's true?
Bitcoin is bad for the moral, for the equilibrium, for the health, for mankind. It just ain't not secure to deal with the underworld.
That's pretty much my overall line of view now. Almost every single day I'm reading some bad news about bitcoin; bitcoins have been stolen, North Korea is having trouble with this and that, India has been hacked, Japan found stolen bitcoins in prostitution homes (LOL I'm sure they did, I found Bitcoins in my lawn that's how I got started... also heard they found a turntable in a prostitutes home, time to go digital!), officials, Russia got away with a big lot, etc.
Blockchain tech is one of the best ways to bring back transparency and morality. We're pretty desperate for systems that will protect common people. Don't pretend like everyone wasn't getting hacked prior to Bitcoin. And to date Bitcoin itself has never been hacked, not even close. Don't want to leave yourself open? Don't leave your coins in a custodians hands.
@ one point I was almost euphoric, aphrodiziac, like those twin brothers making the news every day. Now I'm thru, totally thru, forever with bitcoin.
We all make our decisions in life, I sure did. Good look with everyone else's own decisions.
The majority of WBF members here were right on from the very beginning.
