There's a consistent theme that I see popping up on here that I find rather fascinating, and that is the way that many posters perceive BTC.
What do I mean? People doing things with BTC that they'd never, ever dream of doing with their dollars - gambling as an 'investment', or gambling at all, pouring coins into bullshit investment schemes run by totally anonymous showers of shit, lending on here to shambolic morons, asking the question 'where do I get free coins?'
Considering how much of a pain up the arse it can be to obtain coins and keep them safe and their future potential, I find it bizarre that there's such an extreme disconnect. I would've thought it should be at the opposite end of the scale but that's clearly not the case for many.
Why do you think this attitude has developed and where do you stand yourself?
You bring up some good points. But just because those points are true, why would people not consider BTC as real money.
If someone was to offer me free money for gambling, or if ponzi schemes were out, and I was able to have access to all this free money you better believe I would be using it and doing the exact same stuff I do on BTC.
