Topic: Slashdot Poll (27k users so far) on Bitcoin - page 2. (Read 2772 times)
6008 people didn't buy when bitcoin was at 2$
slashdot had a good run, but eventually became a wasteland of posts that are unhelpful, ignorant, me too, or trolling.
digg, reddit, even bitcointalk all struggle with the same "eternal september."
slashdot polls are trolling by the authors. ignore slashdot poll results - vote fraud runs rampant.

I've read slashdot regularly for a very long time.
Seeing most of the crowds' opinions on bitcoin when an article has popped up in the past couple months however has been making me wonder if perhaps that site might not be becoming a bit too shortsighted for my tastes.

I think most would be in the mildly categories here, I mean I don't think many would go all in as an investment due to potential attacks but strongly support it in other ways.
I have a marginal soft-spot for slashdot with regard to bitcoin since that's where I first heard about it.
I'm one of the 4% in that poll. :-)

Wow thanks for posting this. That's actually quite scary... 44% dislike, or don't know about, Bitcoin. Sniping aside, that's significant.
Interesting to get a view from outside of this 'slightly biased' forum 
A notoriously cynical cohort, the numbers back that up. Interesting that in a 'geek' crowd there are still 12% of people who havent even heard of it!, and a huge 32% just don't even care!

One interpretation: Those nooby kiddies whose 1337 e-peens are not even half as long as mine(I have been developing on *N*X/PDP-11/VMS ever since ****, you know, you know?) get filthy rich with this fucking bitcoin! So it must be a Ponzi scheme/bunch of scammers!
Considering very little new blood goes to Slashdot these days, I'm not surprised. That audience went to Digg, then to Reddit. What you're seeing are the internet equivalents of the average grandparents trying to understand the latest technology. Oh, and asking you to get off their lawn.
you just offended 1318 people Hey, some grandparents can be cool and keep up with the modern world
