Just like when someone gets mugged or something and then they are too afraid to go out, or can not relax around strangers, their mind has been changed , they have be traumatized. they become irrational .
Same exact thing here, they hear Goldman Sachs and instead of thinking logically about it, they just start throwing their own shit screaming "Goldman Sachs!! Goldman Sachs!!!"
Because of the mistrust this institute has created. you are now getting people who instead of just seeing it and thinking "yeah they are a piece of shit" and that's it. they become irrational and concocted wild stories about stuff without any proof....just a paranoid delusional feeling brought on by the betrayal of such a huge institution
I just took the time to do some research, and the GS connection is clear, 2 of the core devs being ex-GS employees. If I was a full-on conspiracy theorist, that would be enough to start me foaming at the mouth.
As it is, since GS was/is one of the main players in the total clusterfuck/theft that is the current global financial crisis, there is just no way in Hell that I would trust Ethereum as far as I could throw it.
Eth may well be 'clean', might even be a success, but no matter how much I love some profit, they aren't getting my BTC.

You don't have to trust it. It's an open source decentralised application. What has the background of people working on it got to do with anything? I've lots of friends who worked in banks. So what? Seriously the arguments I'm hearing here are so stupid. This forum used to be a place where I would be enlightened and enthralled. Those days appear to be gone.
