I agree, bitcoin start from the internet which make something "nerd" will worth for in the real life. I so thinking if cryptocurrency is very complicated in first time, but time by time I learning and understanding about it.
Maybe an alien have more high tech than bitcoin/blockchain

bitcoin is merely an option.

You can only be manipulated by something that you do not truly understand.

Exactly. OP has a very active imagination.

How is it going to manipulate the population? Doesn't really have any controlling properties.

No. It's way too "free" for that. Bitcoin is liberating, not yet another thing to manipulate us. Money in itself was created to make a difference between people, though. Wealth was a really weird concept to the cavemen... I'm curious if wealth/poorness ever disappears.

You will pay for revealing our MASTER plan to take over the world and enslave the people into cages with bitcoin

Bitcoin certanly is a form of anomaly in the finance world, but its an anomaly thats been long needed in order to recover from the mess our well known system has
created. To call it a virus is wrong, because its not here to hurt us, its here to liberate us, to give us financial freedim.
Bitcoin is a white blood cell in economy, and its growing fast in its size, so whatever the reason of creation, whoever the maker truly is, i dont care, we should be grateful.

cheers

You assume bitcoin must be wanted and work for everyone on the planet, why? There isn't one currency for the planet and there's no need for a digital currency to be different.

Manipulation is a human trait or weakness, depending on your point of view. If we let it manipulate us, it will be as we let it. We have the control because we are the ones that choose to use it...with out that it is useless.

Come on lol there have been some conspiracy's and then some but this is by far the craziest thing i have ever heard i guess we need the DR to come and sort this mess out.

No it is not a virus for the demise of mankind it is just a computer program that could possibly release us from the virus that is fiat control and bankers. Now that i have said that it sounds like the anti virus but a anti virus has to infect to defeat hmmmmm

BTC's certainly not manipulating me.

We've seen young British girls recently being manipulated by Isis so much that they've left for Syria, but we've yet to see anything similar happening with BTC.

The block size thing?
I would support it aslong as a transition can be made safely.

Think if something went wrong O_O

The bitcoin software is not manipulating anyone, but...
As the Bitcoin user-base grows people are being manipulated by the system (for example, intrusive verifications at exchanges, bank accounts closed, Paypal issues, MSB laws, etc, etc)

Obviously it was made small at first, and then meant to grow. Look at the proposal by Gavin (yes, it's that discussion again).

Bitcoin is not able to handle more than 100 million transactions pr day.
So if that was the vision, then it was created the wrong way.

I'm pretty sure that's NOT what Satoshi envisioned when creating Bitcoin.

If Bitcoin was a virus then everyone would be infected with it sort of sounds stupid but its true a virus is to infect or to cause damage or a good virus to cure bad viruses. Lmfao alien extraction wealth hahahaa. Wrong thats called the TAX MAN Yeah if we step too far back will end up being not on the earth lol.

Its how ones perception is to what bitcoin really is or how things around it are. If Bitcoin was an anomaly and that we didn't know much about it then why would anyone use bitcoin knowing nothing about it to use it.

If I was to give you a cup of fluid and say drink this you respond what's in it I respond I have no idea would you still drink that drink knowing nothing about it or would you back away from the cup and leave it alone or would you just risk it knowing that it might be ok might have some virus in it or end up killing you. If bitcoin wasn't known then people wouldn't use it. Just like when I first heard about it I didn't use it until I understand more about it.

So far Bitcoin is working fine yes a lot has happened over the years but when you learn more about it and how it works and solves a lot of problems then one might consider to use it. Give it another 5 to 10 years and ull see Bitcoin be no doubtfully mainstream or to the point that most of the world is using it. Maybe not 7 billion people but even with only 21 million to be ever mined would be enough given the fact of how many decimal places the coin and its value goes. Who knows only time will tell if it will get to a mainstream level and so far over the last few years it seems that way. So do we class it as a anomaly and a virus at that point hmmmmmmmmm

WTF... Single letter username O_O

That is a conspiracy!

I have never seen that before.

Your conspiracy should start with the Internet, Bitcoin is just another layer on the Net.

Well, I dont think that the intention of BTC was to be for the whole world to use it as currency, but rather to have it to run on the internet and small shops around the world for the "nerds" and computer geeks using it.
AKA us

But the idea of crypto currency to be used world wide is something I can see
