Topic: Forbes Magazine calls Bitcoin a "Great Scam" - page 2. (Read 919 times)

Yeah completely doesn't makes any sense, the opinion seems like come from someone that know nothing about Bitcoin, just make a random comparison without a clear point, this simply a trash. The only great scam are those people who manages our money in the bank.

Isn't that normal? In the years since I know bitcoin, almost every year there have been media claims that bitcoin is a hoax, and this year is no exception, hh, these fools.

Yes, their usual title will be calling it a scam  and lazy people will assume that it is a scam sinve they will not read the whole article.

Yes, I agree with you. Maybe, Jay Adkisson do not know the history and concept of money.  Before, people uses gold bars as what Aristotle said that only rare earth metals can be use as money for transaction because you can divide it into smaller pieces or you can form or mold it into a bigger one. So, everybody can also write an article stating that a dollar is a scam because it do not contain any rare metal and do not have intrinsic value.  But the concept of money changes as the time goes by, according to Plato, anything can be consider as money even it has no intrinsic value as long as it was agreed and accept by the people as the mode of transaction. Meaning flat money do not have value unless it was agreed and accept by the people.  With the same concept, bitcoin do not have value unless it was accept and agreed to use by the people.  That is why bitcoin mining was introduced and that is why blockchain is important.  Without prior understanding of how bitcoin works, judging it as a scam is really easy.  But if you will study and understand how it works and its concept, people will gain a better and broader understanding about bitcoin. Maybe Jay Adkisson need to study first the concept of money prior to writing any article like this.

Actually the tactic is to cry FUD.. for bucks (real bucks)
You all have been doing it since day one here.
None of you addressed what was actually said.. you just posted ponzi rhetoric.

You know people call things scams because of HOW they work.
None of you are addressing that.
You ignore the assertion and play an unrelated irrelevant cliche'd retort.
Probably because you can't think of any type of relevant defense.

All you need to do is look at the context.
This forum !
A forum that permits scams and 1.5 million accounts (many part of puppet farms) all bullshiting to make real cash money FIAT profits.

..off of anything that is paying out.

Why would Forbes matter ?
Because it's outside the ShitcoinTalk echo chamber of greedy idiotic little profiteer investard pieces of shit's crypto propaganda.

You think the loser noobs here and old school sleaze balls are going to admit to any criticism ?
Think they will validate "FUD" ?
no matter how much it's deserved ?
Ohhhh hell no.

When a broken currency hits 15 fucking grand and it doesn't even work like one i have to laugh till i fucking puke.
A real "investor" would see the product itself is complete dog shit and walk away.
Ohh not you fucking morons. LOL
You pile on pushing the price more and more cheering like idiots.

I like Bitcoin.
I can't stand all of you.

Most likely a paid article that wants to spread people another FUD. They want to use forbes in this case since it was a well "trusted" agency and a very popular magazine worldwide. They shouldn't take this type of paid article but it only shows that they are only for the profit without criteria of checking on what the article's intention for the attacked topic/entity.

There would still be 21 mil. bitcoins. Who care if there is other currencies ? Last i heard the wasnt only the USD on the financial markets.

This article does not make any sense...

Obviously the author of that article has a paid agenda, but then again we need to take a calm approach at it. Not everything in it is bad, but obviously malinformed. Now a lot of people will complain that they're losing money during a pullback, but this is the time that we need to believe in this the most.

Well it's not entire false, but I already heard this concern long time ago and nothing can be do about it, crypto currencies will stay famous and valuable if the people keep using it and it's true that bitcoin and other coins are high risk investment, but to call it scam or ponzi scheme is something I don't like, some people failed to understand that bitcoin is a currency, it is  never intended for investment

Bitcoin issue?
Haha that there problem..... Anyone can make issue to a thing that is worthwhile discriminating or let's say to talk about it...
Don't mind them...

Sad to hear But for me bitcoins is not a scam it is like a fiat that can also been used in bad or good even it was a scam. It also depends on how to used it, people overused the good benefits of a bitcoins. Bitcoins is not a scam it will depends on the people on how they used it.

They're just spreading FUD to make the price low so that they're whale bosses can buy at lower price, This is a very cheap tactic that let the whales buy for lower prices. Remember we are in the "digital currency" era expect money wars in a very usual but unusual way(if you know what i mean).

First of all, title subject seems to be misleading here as at no point Forbes Magazine identifies "Bitcoin as a Great Scam", it is only that one of their contributor identifies it as a "Great Scam".

I think he is unable to understand the ethics of modern day currency and cannot see the necessity of a currency which is independent of the government and unties the whole world. If you want to mock down a technology without even understanding about it that is you’re take, but there would be less or no effect on bitcoin community by such "Scam" talks which are only purposed for publicity.

Haha This is normal case and a few years ago many news portal and news paper blame about bitcoin so what btc down ?  no when its down its always go back ow position bcz btc demand and supply gap is the main reason . no one can pause it its a vice versa

Did Forbes mention the mega high transactions fees or do they just want punters to move along and
play on the other slot machines and remain unaware about the fees for moving BTC that we have been
hot with.

I think we are being played when the elephant in the room is fees 

People will always doubt wat they can see
They think since bitcoin can t be touched like real money it's fake
Well let them fight it soon theybwill join the btc world

Person who wrote the article possibly hasn't done any research to come up with such an inaccurate story. Bitcoin or cryprtocurrencies, is far from.being a scam. I'm only hearing this from tbose that doesn't know how.the crypto market works

so you know banker can print as they like.. if you work for money  , banker will print money for you just a few second.. surprised?? but bitcoin supply limit 21 million in this world. no more no less. so you know who is scam the banker or bitcoin??

We will soon see what the great scam is. Crypto Currency or the world you built on banks and corruption. BTC/Crypto and GOLD will rule you all !

forbes magazine is a great scam of the federal reserve, that scams everybody in america

same shit is in europe (bafin in germany in particular)
