Clueless people are gonna be clueless.

When people dont understand something, they tend to reject it.

You have to be pretty smart to actually "get" Bitcoin, and not dismiss it as "shady internet currency"

The really smart people are the first to accept BTC, then the really rich (they pay really smart people to manage their money), then the middle class, then the poor. So as much as BTC has the power to democratize money, its likely the existing power structures will stay in place due to this pre-set path of acceptance.

Everyone is entitled to his opinion

My view is that there is more long term upside than downside at these levels

he seems so full of himself; like he thinks his opinion is superior to everyone elses'.

and it's confirmed by looking at his responses in the comments section.

I get the feeling his view is from a totally insular USA perspective rather than understanding that it is a global currency, and not just limited to within the confines of North America

Not a very informed person IMO, but he can play it safe if he wants to.

Each to their own opinion I guess, but we'll see.

As far as I'm concerned the upside outweighs the risk.

Unlike most of the pro bitcoin stuff posted in these forums I would like to play devil's advocate for once. Please note these are not my views, however I sometimes feel it can be interesting to listen to the other peoples views.
