Bitcoin contains a virus that will override your computer and make you part of some hackers great network.
Or that its mainly used by terrorists and drug dealers.
I was also worried about that it has some virus which will attack on your computer and will destroy your computer and will hack all your data and accounts, but it is not true bitcoin is a safe currency working like a normal currency.

That is it being completely anonymous, Currently most coins can be linked back if the exchange cooperate and exchanges require documents mostly so it's not that anonymous now...
lol exchanger like BTC-e seems like they do not require personal information when you want to withdraw your money.
you can directly insert paypal email if you want to withdraw money to paypal
anyway they will not divulge user email information to the public. so calm mate

Sending a transaction to yourself (A double-spend) will duplicate your bitcoins. Hilarious.

I actually fell for that once, but then again, it ended up week. I started bitcoining simply because I wanted to duplicate my money.

That it is exclusive to criminals! I see allot of decent people here and they are probably not hitman "or men", I had an impression like this when I seen a topic about bitcoin in a local newspaper.
I am also confused as to why a lot of media are pushing bitcoin. as if bitcoin is illegal items and destined for criminals.
whereas bitcoin is a master piece. picture of the future currency.
I hope they are do not spread the word stupid again



First of all you need to understand that negative news travel fast and are more regarded. There is saying that you need to do a 5 good deeds to wash away a 1 bad deed.
And secondly media won't give you much positive news because that is not something which bring them views. Rape, murder, catastrophe - this is what you can expect when  you turn on TV the most.

Maybe the government are the ones behind those rumors about bitcoin in the news.
They are against it because their currency is at risk if the people in that country wont use the said currency.

when I heard about bitcoin for the first time they told me that it has no fees and I sent in my first days some transactions with zero fees but then I realize that can happen only IF miners choose it include the free fees tx in a block and this would not happen during rush hours

Terminated.
Only freaks and pedophiles use bitcoin to surf the darkweb for sick twisted goat rape by midgets.
but this one is true
This is definitely not true. There are just people who are curious for example.

These are the people who themselves do not know better about bitcoin, they just hear a word about it from other people and start to spread it, they need to have complete knowledge about a thing before spreading it to others.
If by people you also mean the media, then this hits it. This is how false information is being spread easily. People love to talk when they know absolutely nothing about the subject just to 'look smart'.

That a user is "anonymous" in the network and no one can follow your transactions, it's actually almost the opposite since the chain is open and anyone can view the transactions and possible even trace them back to there origin coins.
The user is anonymous if he uses Bitcoin properly (e.g. avoids services that require ID). Exactly what does one get from viewing millions of different addresses going around? Nothing. They have no idea who is behind those transactions.

That it was safe from corporate capture.
It actually is.

Bitcoin is free to use. Realistically, you're looking to send fees each time you send a transaction or you risk a long confirmation time. Despite the fee being minimum, people seem to undermine it and round down by saying it's free when truly you're spending a tiny amount that adds up overtime on fees. I'm not one to complain about it though  Wink

There is some people said that Bitcoin still as just virtual currency and couldn't being real money, which isn't true of course but many people still spreading this false information.

People spread wrong ideas about Bitcoin because they don't know it enough, and they don't know how it works. That's why i think the Bitcoin's community should advertise a lot better this powerful crypto currency worldwide.

The computer and IT colleges are required that they introduce a subject of crypto currency especially of bitcoin and have to teach the student all the facts about bitcoin to the new generation.

I heard that banks and the government will start supporting bitcoins which is simply impossible as banks view bitcoin as their competitor and they will never support bitcoins for sure as bitcoin is a major threat to the banking system.

Until the Bank dont understand the value of Bitcoin they will be afraid, but in the future Bank will work with bitcoin and we can do banking with bitcoin just like fiat currency,
