Topic: We have a problem with fanatical supporters. Bitcoin is becoming a religion. (Read 4609 times)

The thinking and idea with bitcoin was good - it has just lost tracking, due to the fact that no one made it easy to use. Everyone sat back and watched in the belief that evolution would happen without further input.
2nd and even 3rd generation virtual currencies with much bigger visions will soon pop up - and if bitcoin is not developing as well it's going to miss the train.

Ok - so you think btc is a giant waste of time and worthless.  You're annoyed at the time you've currently wasted on this 'worthless techy project.'  My sincere advice - and note I'm not angry with you at all - please just go away and live your own life.  You will be happier and so will we for not having to waste our own 5 seconds reading your drivel.

Sincerely - every bitcoiner

Check Mate!

That was your first (non chinese) post, back in 2013. Most of your other posts are rants against BTC at least to some extent.

Tie it to the dollar? Seriously... what are you doing here anyway?

Also, "the people behind bitcoin"... common, read the definition of decentralized.


WE are the people behind Bitcoin. If you want to buy and sell 1 BTC for 1 USD, so be it. Be my guest!

+1 That's where I am. I don't soil my pants every time someone posts nonsense they pulled from their arse. But if I thought bitcoin were broken, I would bail in a heartbeat. I'm not the religious type.   

Where is this religious symbol found commonly? Hint: it is not a cryptocurrency logo 

There are lunatics on both sides of the fence.

On the Bitcoin side, they're all pretty much congested in this forum so it seems like there's a lot of them.

FIAT money is also based on fear, and debt to masters you can't see or communicate with.

Our fiat monetary system is very much based on not asking questions about it, and just following it blindly.

Our fiat monetary system has ordained that most people live their entire life in debt to another entity, from birth, because 'that's just the way it works'.

Actually sounds more and more like a religion the more I think about it.

BTC is a religion, so so. It is based on mathematics.

FIAT MONEY is based on faith. In god we trust, in leaders we trust, in banks and government IOU's we trust.

WHICH ONE IS CLOSER TO A RELIGION MR. OP

So what you are saying is that any new technology needs to be perfect on its initial release, or it shouldn't be released at all?   Look at everything that has ever been invented...there are always bugs in every single technological invention.  Look how far the internet has come since it's inception.   You talk about smart phones, but based on your argument, they should have never been created and could have never been created, because the original phone had wires with it.  I guarantee you still have some issues with some of the features of your smartphone...does that mean it's a steaming bag of shit (as you call it)?   Ease of use comes from it's actual use, then then feedback about what works and what doesn't.

This analogy is fantastic and funny. Good job sir.

Let me take a guess. You're either younger than 30 or 60+. Or maybe its just that you're not a techie as you say, or you would remember the first time the public got access to email and internet and learn from that.

I'll tell you, man. Assuming you were lucky enough to have an ISP in your vicinity, you then had to fight all the other users dialing in
and trying to connect. Sometimes it took hours to get connected. Finally you get online and now you've got to hurry up because you're paying by the minute for your connection, which is really a phone call. So you check your email and there's nothing because who on earth is using email but a bunch of geeks?

Screw email. You decide to search for some porn, only you can't see it in your browser because it's a text-only browser, so you start downloading a few pics for later viewing. They're taking ages. You're slowly racking up a phone bill. Hopefully they'll be worth it. Then... DOWNLOAD FAILED. Your wife/mom must have picked up the other phone. Fuck this Internet shit! It will never catch on.

That's how it all started. I hope you're doing great with your envelopes, stamps and wrinkled Playboy magazines. Peace.

In good faith I'm going to assume you're not trolling. I'm not an early adopter. I knew about bitcoin when it was around $11 a BTC but never bought. I simply educated myself on the technology and read about it. I messed with mining just for fun and made a little BTC worth pretty much nothing back then. I took a break from bitcoin as I had other more important things to focus on. When I learned that the price had gone to $50 i started taking it a lot more seriously. Still not knowing much about it I got into more serious mining with my graphics card and left my computer on day and night. My point is, not everyone here is a rich arrogant prick who bought early and made massive amounts of money. I'm a huge supporter of bitcoin and i'm not an early adopter. I understand the volatility that is occurring right now and I know what is causing it. I still have faith in the protocol and the system itself. Blaming the actions of a business that happens to deal with bitcoin on bitcoin isn't fair. There are a few people out there on their bitcoin high horse telling the "noobs" to f off. If you're mad because of one of them, don't be. Bitcoin isn't easy to understand I personally think that's one of it's biggest flaws. (That and it's completely misleading name). If you think it's dumb, that's fine I don't care and won't take offense. But don't spread FUD about something you don't understand completely. That is when I will call you out.

I think the problem is he didn't learn anything.  He failed to learn it and missed out and is now mad.

note: this is what my first post suggested, thanks for your confirmation. now please. put your arse away, this is a public forum. 

You're pissed because you learned something and not because you lost something? You sound wise...

We're not upset about your opinion; we've heard it before. It's the equivalent of a child throwing a temper tantrum because they don't understand how to finish their math homework...

People did fine without the internet, they did fine without books, they did fine without banks, money, or governments; yet here we are... People adopt ideas that benefit them in various ways. Your point is so far off base from reality that you should probably explain yourself as to how you can possibly think that's the way it is...

There are 4 things that have real value, food, water, shelter, and life. Everything else is artificially evaluated and given some form of worth. Bitcoin has extrinsic value based on utility, security, and ideology.

i'm very content to waste your time on it some more... please... get these things off your chest, i'm sure you will feel better.  

Tell you what, why don't you go to the store and try to buy next week's groceries with bitcoin. Let us know how well that works out.


And I have Keira Knightley lying in my bed. See? I can pull bullshit out of my ass too.

I make money elsewhere and don't need this crap.

But you're damn right I'm mad. For one, I'm not some greedy fuck who thinks money I didn't make is somehow a loss. Two, I didn't actually lose any cash because I never trusted the shit enough to go near it.

But I have lost. I have lost precious time reading about it and hearing people cry about one damn crisis after another. I have lost time reading and learning about it and wasting five seconds of faith that it was going anywhere by wrongly dignifying it with legitimate attention. I've wasted countless minutes and calories learning about some faggot nerd shit only to ultimately conclude the whole thing is some autistic online game played by losers who think clever little software exchanges represent wealth.

Hell, I'm wasting time on it right now. It's a fucking black hole that's all about discussions and talk and no god damn actual business.

And then there's always that guy. If you point out any criticism of BTC, some shill jumps in with "it used to be worth nothing and u mad it went to $1k lololololol!"

Just because some poor sap will pay $1k for a bag of shit doesn't make my toilet a gold mine and flushing does not constitute a fortune lost, you daft fucks.

Bitcoin shills are like goldbugs on crack. Its all about being viewed as 'right' no matter how shitty the evidence is. That's what they love more than profit. Its some sort of autistic cult. You can't convince them the hole thing is a waste. Bunk. The currency' of hubris colliding with ignorance. They should have called it BabelCoin.

BTC goes up "I have something people pay for! I'm a genius!"
BTC plummets "It will be worth a fortune any day now"

I cant tell if they are crazy or retarded.

please explain why and we can do our best to indoctrinate you in our religion, totally brainwashing you to do things that you don't want to do.


compare that time learning bitcoin, to how many years you spent learning at school.. which took longer?


i am interested in shit, especially after i've had a raging hot curry.


i welcome your criticism.
