of course they are ignorant/don't understand/are frightened of it.. it's new, it's 'techy' and it's radically different from anything we've ever had before.. what did you expect?
I remember when I tried to explain to someone about P2P music sharing back in 1998 or so.. he said something like:
...every cassette tape you put into your tape-deck actually exists. You could trade that cassette with someone and for an 8-track, that you could then take to the music-store and exchange for a vinyl album if you wish. That p2p/digital music doesnt exist anywhere and could vanish instantly. It will never catch on...

I started a thread on a relatively small gamers development forum asking them to consider accepting bitcoin purchases for their newest game I am really excited about.
It really opened my eyes how people will fight tooth and nail to just discredit Bitcoin, and most of these thoughts seem to be because of articles they had read by authors who do not understand bitcoin at all.

I am not asking anyone to register and chime in about why you would purchase a game with bitcoin, but if you would like to go for it!

Ever dollar you put into your paypal and such actually exists. You could put that paypal money into a bank account and withdraw real legal tender, that you could then take to the treasury and exchange for the gold that its backed by if you wish.
