Yes they will at some point, because their credit card is not "working" anymore.

Agreed, but this will come too late for Bitcoin:

Let's not jump to conclusions, it just shows us that some people take time to recognize innovative new technology that is disruptive can actually change the status quo for the better.

So you think the masses are going to rise up and say "99% versus 1%, so let's dump our credit cards and use Bitcoin"?

I could see that possibly happening AFTER the global economic collapse that should start to collapse in 2016.

So maybe by about 2017 or 2018, they might start to make that transition in understanding. Right now, they are boiling frogs still in wonderland.

But by 2017 or 2018 it will be kind of too late. An anonymous coin will have already taken over because the wealthy are going to need an anonymous coin to avoid the massive government confiscation coming as the economy implodes.

Bitcoin offered free, anonymous money that held the promise of freeing us from the tyranny that stems from state issued and state mandated currencies.

And it failed. It failed because in the end most people didn't want to use and accept it in commerce to liberate themselves from the chains of state issued currency. What people wanted was not to use bit coins to buy and sell, but instead to buy hoard and sell the bitcoins themselves in hopes of getting rich.

It failed because, at our core, none of us really wanted freedom, and privacy in our economic transactions, all we wanted was speculations and more money.

Bitcoin is proof once again that people don't care about liberty, they care about wealth. And they will always sacrifice liberty for money.

The failure of bitcoin rests in it's fundamental belief that people wanted to be free. People don't want to be free, they want fast cars, big houses, and easy money.


A technology still in its infancy shouldn't be called a failure.

I'm asking the moderators to stop anonymint from constantly linking to his self serving thread, as it is against the posted forum rules.

I have the right to inject factual information.

You want to inhibit factual discussion. You are a rabid Rottweiler stalking me every where I post. And I don't even post in 5% of the threads.

I will report you for stalking. That is a crime.


Report me while you are at it - cos I too am sick of your endless bollocks.

WTF is a man who believes BTC to be flawed/not up to the job etc. doing on BitcoinTalk ? Trying to help save us all from ourselves ?

You aren't a genius - and you aren't bringing anything to the table.

Start up another forum - call it "WhyIknowBetter.org" - live happily ever after. Post to your hearts content.

Cos at the minute you are single handedly trashing this forum.



Moderators take note.  The poster called anonymint continues to promote his own thread and link to it
from numerous other threads, much to the annoyance of the community, and in clear violation of the "do not post off topic replies" rule stated here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/do-not-post-off-topic-replies-14356

Also add this:

I believe there is only one feature that can make crypto-currency so different from fiat that it will spawn all sorts of new applications which fiat can't do.

And that feature is ANONYMITY. And Bitcoin can't have it. And DarkCoin doesn't have it.


Half of the population is dumber than 100 IQ, i.e. basically retarded.
The problem isn't stupid people, the problem selfish, ignorant, cruel people.

The problem is the sociopaths who run our world, and most of them are actually very intelligent.

And they are too stupid to do anything about it.

Bitcoin has taught us NOTHING about human nature.

We humans do not exist in nature, and we haven't for about 10,000 years.

Homo Sapiens in nature behave like Bonobo chimpanzees, not the virus / parasite / cancer that "civilized" humans are.
