Hmmm why would anyone think bitcoin is a scam? Interesting.

Bitcoin is a concept....how can it be a scam? The only ones that make it a scam are the users.

Yes I absolutely agree with your answer to OP's question. The arguments you have presented are surely valid and very persuasive. You are the most qualified person to provide the best answer to this thread in my humble opinion.

(Commotion.  Disgusting images flash on the wall.)

VERUCA: I don't like this ride, Daddy.

WONKA: Faster!

MR. SALT: Wonka, do me a favor?  Tell those people to stop
paddling back there.

WONKA: Faster!

MRS. TEEVEE: We're going too fast!

WONKA: Faster!  Faster!

VIOLET: We're gonna sink, I know it!

VERUCA: Why doesn't he stop the boat?

WONKA: Faster!

MR. SALT: Hang on, darling!  Just close your eyes and hang
on tight!

MIKE: What's happening?

WONKA: Faster!

VIOLET: What is this, a freak-out?

MR. BEAUREGARDE: Hey, this isn't funny, Wonka!

MR. SALT: You can't possibly see where you're going, Wonka!

WONKA: You're right.  I can't.

MIKE: Boy, what a great series this would make.

MR. SALT: Wonka . . .

CHARLIE: This is kind of strange . . .

GRANDPA JOE: Yeah, strange, Charlie, but it's fun!  Ha ha!

MIKE: This is terrific!

MRS. TEEVEE: Ugghhhhhh . . .

MR. SALT: How much to get off the boat, Wonka?

MRS. TEEVEE: Ugghhh . . . I think I'm gonna be sick.

MR. SALT: I can take a joke, but this has gone too far.

MR. BEAUREGARDE: Tell that little guy to turn us around,
Wonka!

MRS. TEEVEE: Aaaaaaa!  Now I am gonna be sick!

VERUCA: Save me, Daddy!

CHARLIE: (reacting when Slugworth's face appears on the
wall) Grandpa!

GRANDPA: It couldn't be.

     (A few screams . . .)

WONKA:
     THERE'S NO EARTHLY WAY OF KNOWING

MR. SALT: Heh, heh . . . he's singing . . .

WONKA:
     WHICH DIRECTION WE ARE GOING
     THERE'S NO KNOWING WHERE WE'RE ROWING

MR. SALT:
(echoing) ROWING . . .

WONKA:
     OR WHICH WAY THE RIVER'S FLOWING

     IS IT RAINING
     IS IT SNOWING
     IS A HURRICANE A-BLOWING

     Bleh!
     Not a speck of light is showing
     So the danger must be growing
     Are the fires of hell a glowing?
     Is the grisly reaper mowing?
     Yes!  The danger must be growing
     For the rowers keep on rowing
     And they're certainly not showing
     Any signs that they are slowing!

     (Wonka screams.  Chaos.)

VERUCA: Oh, make him stop, Daddy!

MR. SALT: Wonka, this has gone far enough!

WONKA: Quite right, sir!  Stop the boat!

how much will be holding satoshi???
 

1% (i don't think so)

Yes, because it is premine by satoshi. 

Seriously bitcoin a currency that has already built its reputation and already accepted by thousands of websites and millions of users. There is no central owner of bitcoin. It is a decentralized that makes it hard to control.

No

Everything about Bitcoin is on the paper.

If you expect other things, then you are either speculating or deceiving himself. Then not Bitcoin fault

Bitcoin Users In A Nutshell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQhVwBESulM&feature=share

The true scam are banks who been having your money and gambling it on free markets.

Ever heard of the glass steagall act? yeah, a rule removed and signed by stupid ass bill clinton - saying any bank can use your funds to play with on the stock market without any fault.

Now thats a scam..

Bitcoin in and of itself is not a scam since it's pretty secure and development process is decentralized.

That means nothing, there are registered multi billion dollar scams out there in history.

But it's not a scam tho, it's just technology and you are freely deciding to own some of it. thats all.

there is no higher order in bitcoin, bitcoin is investment or speculation or gambling depend @ your pov.

I don't think so. Very problem of bitcoin is the miner producer and much speculator which turn around this fantastic currency. Consider this a money which allow you to make that you want (Buy, sell goods ecc.), you don't have control from government and other thing..

Oh clearly it is a scam to undermine the entrenched power of banks. Very dangerous stuff, keep the kids away,

Everyone around me called bitcoin a scam. Is it a scam?

Never heard of this coin. On which exchange is it?

Ahh, yes... the real question.

I think it's the NWO currency, either BTC or some alt coin. If it was a scam wouldn't the scammers have done their move when it was at $1200?

if you take it as a scam then bitcoin=scam 

if you take it as legit btc=legit 

How can bitcoin be scam after having $6+ billion market capacity.   

i dont know ? can you vote at other poll ?
i mean i didnt lock the poll and result are increasing.

No. I want to vote on the poll but I couldn't. What is the reason?

Exactly. Who would bitcoin be scamming exactly? People can try scam you, but even if bitcoin fails in some way that still wont  make it a scam.

Scams Happen with Btc Yes,But that in no form makes Bitcoin a scam itself.

The irony of this post  .


What is this meant to mean exactly?

sense... its the thing which you doesnt make
 

Yes, everything is scam.

You say, Ivan:
"CAN INVEST IN BITCOIN?"
No, is scam.

"CAN INVEST LITECOIN?"
No, is scam.

"CAN INVEST DOGE?"
No, is also scam.

NMC IS SCAM.
PPC IS SCAM.
FTC IS SCAM.
QUARK IS SCAM.
USD IS SCAM.

EVEN SCAM IS SCAM.

EVERYTHING IS SCAM!

Are you a scam?

No, bitcoin is not a scam, but the question we should be asking here is is noobtrader a troll? The answer to that would be yes.

Thats just like asking if dollar or euro was a scam. Or if your chair was a scam... Plain stupidity, a currency itself can not be a scam, nor can a physical item; what makes something a scam is the users.
Users with bad intentions are making BTC look bad. Good that they are minority and most people trust BTC.

I see all in Bitcoin but "scam" isn't one of them mate 

The problem is not the bitcoin protocol , the problem are the producers of the asic hardware ( they remove the *decentralization* .... ).


PS: this is my opinion

No Bitcoin itself is not a scam.

However, many of the players within the Bitcoin industry are scammers (miners, exchanges, etc).

Short answer is no.

Long answer depend on how you see the world.

done

Yay! finally someone discovered this!. Serious replies here although the OP "voting options" clearly says it's a joke...

I like the concept of bitcoin , but don't think its a scam. And I hardly hold more than 0.5 btc at a time. So even if the price is 100$ it hardly matters. All that matters is what is the price at the time I use it, and I buy it to only use it, not hold on to it till price rises. Thats trading.

 Can you pls add one more voting option to the poll :- " This Post is stupid " or OP :p
Bitcoin itself is a protocol designed to fight the centralized financial system, and I'm sure you know that.
 I don't understand why you call it scam , Just because the price is going  down at the moment, so that mean you are judging the legitimacy based on how much worth it has compared to fiat, totally absurd.

I guess it depends on how you look at it. Big holders who bought cheap and are looking to offload who say "Buy BTC because it will surely go to the moon" knowing full well that they have 20.000 more BTC to sell and that they will probably have to sell down to $100 before getting rid of everything is doing something that is.. borderline scam.

Bitcoin itself is just a currency and a payment network, calling these things a scam is just stupid.

Actually, bitcoin itself is not a scam, shame about the users

As I see it, if I was a country as big as america or as small as the uk, and realised I gave my gold away along with everything else, then realised my money was useless, I'd first put people off gold, by claiming it's useless, then start an online crypto currency, so that folks take the gold they were told is useless in the 21st century and sell it back to me for my useless paper, to buy crypto, if that dont work, they'll put it into the crypto, thinking they'll get more of my trash cash, either way, I get rid of my trash cash, that aint worth anything, and collect all the gold people deserted, thinking the internet will last longer than gold. Gold will last forever, the net? Only as long as.. The tree's are running out quicker than you think..

Most would think it is a scam if you don't have any bitcoins. I bet your perception would change if you have 10,000 bitcoins.

Why are you thinking like that?

Bitcoin, the USD, the EUR, LTC, DOGE, all coins are a scam except "bluefirecorp coin". Best coin on the market. Get yours at the amazing price of $200 per coin.
