Interesting enough topic.
What we need is Bitcoin to make itself useful to others and be able to convince others to use it in order for all users to maximize their benefit

it's not ready to be adopted anyways. Why would you want to get people in now? To rob them of their money?
Bitcoin means: wait for the year 2024 to get in - before that it's only burning money away. Bitcoin needs to be looked at as a charity for miners.

Bitcoin has the power of a secure network:
Computer code doesn't ever care about you, and pointing that out is not arrogant.

Yes, Bitcoin doesn't care what anyone says, or how many times people use it for crimes. Bitcoin doesn't care about Ponzi scams, web cams, drug sales, shady CEOs, or altcoin IPOs.


Is this how bitcoin execs pitch the technology to future adopters?

Bitcoin does do something really well, and its good reputation will eventually grow much faster than the bad.

they made a movie series called "revenge of the nerds" just to try and make computers look uncool and users nerdy

20 years later Mark Zukerberg is the pinup guy of the Digital world having dinner with the Rolling Stones

go figure that one out

All the time I read people are saying how such and such is damaging the reputation of Bitcoin dun dun duhhh. I just don't get it, Bitcoin doesn't need a 'good reputation' anymore than the Internet needed a good reputation to get it off the ground. Could it slow the progress of uptake? Sure but then who cares how slow it takes for people to get it.  Even MtGox in my opinion had no significant affect on Bitcoins success.  You can't have new developments and put them back in the bottle.


People need Bitcoin if they want to store their wealth, Bitcoin doesn't need people to like it.
