Why should I boycotting Bitcoins? I don't see any reason into it for me to do that.  After all bitcoin  had so many things that had done to me in this field of industry. Therefore I cannot do such things like this. Because I'm a bitcoin fanatic and bitcoin lover's too.

I love reading these old necro threads to see how many respected users are now considered scammers.

Why necro an opinion thread where the OP (the guy with the opinion) hasn't even been around in three years?

It won't be "classist" for long and I am not sure it is even that at this point.  May demographics are involved with Bitcoin and that will increase as time goes on.  Are you still boycotting?

Simply because it is a digital currency.   You should know that bitcoin is programmed with codes and syntax like that.  It is now a digital age so you really need some techno gadgets to mine, trade, invest, and earn those bitcoins.  But you do not need to be a genius like Satoshi to have some of it.  I am just using my phone to do some earning and investing so it just means that it is not classist.  Anyone can earn through it.

It's inherently classist. Only those with access to moderately high levels of technology can spend or receive it. Only those with access to exceedingly high levels of technology can "mine" it. Heterosexual, middle class or higher white males are disproportionally represented in the demographics of bitcoin users. Bitcoin only serves to uphold the current kyriarchal socioeconomic structures by making sure the privileged become more privileged.

And it's a terrible idea. You spend more on your parents' electricity bill and replacing burnt out GPUs that your parents buy for christmas and birthdays than you actually theoretically make.

Bitcoins are basically just this weird attempt by lolbertarian children to make their own currency and play stock market and dodge taxes.

Mining is one way of the many on how you can get bitcoin. I, myself dont mine bitcoin. I buy bitcoins and trade then. And I also gambe some of my bitcoin for fun. Because I earn decent amount of bitcoin without mining.

There are a lot of way of earning bitcoin, not only by mining, you can earn from signature campaign and for me its good that the children can earn some money, and i can say that i also collect bitcoin from scratch and now my earning can cover the electric bills, if you think bitcoin is so bad then leave it, find another things that interested for you

It is a matter of strategy there are other ways to generate bitcoin other than mining. And mining BTC is not really profitable even if you buy just one expensive mining equipment. Also BTC has been popular because it can do many things that Fiat can't do, it is widely accepted in the internet as it took advantage of it. It's up to you if you really want to quit.

How do you know the sexuality of bitcoin users?
Well, I sure he just always seeing a lot of males is appearing in a lot of bitcoin project for advertising, introducing and another like that. In my opinions, the bitcoin users are dominated by the male gender. Grin
You can't know the gender of someone by his/her username. I have come across several people in real world too where people have gender neutal names.In some languages and cultures children are given unisex names which are common for both gender

Not sure if what was the case in back 2013 but now a days anyone from any corner of the world with just a little knowledge about technology can send or receive bitcoins as long as he knows how to use a wallet or how to buy and earn bitcoins, there is no concept like it is only for those with access to moderately high levels of technology can spend or receive it.

I do not think so. Because I do see many many bitcoin projects are aiming women and having women as their brand ambassador. But that may be local to my country. But internationally too, we have a common practice of having women models for any product as it will target both the genders with obvious reasons. Hope this trend will change for a better future of bitcoin particularly to stop people boycotting any more.

This is sounding like this is coming from some "communist-revolution Bernie Sanders $15 minimum wage 100% taxes for the rich" meme that you would see on the internet. I have not seen someone who legitimately speaks or acts this way and isn't trolling with their statements.

Yes, Bitcoin is classist based on that definition. You know what else is classist? Healthcare. You know what else? Jobs. Not everyone has access to some sort of job and the middle class becomes inherently better than the lower class. Communist societies? Classist, you now have card holders of the ruling party posted above the average worker.

I'm not going to spend more time than that on this post because it literally reads like some sort of copypasta with a bunch of buzzwords in place of an actual argument. When there is some actual content that can be debated, let me know because too often things that read like this are bait.

I personally think that it is not classist cause everyone could buy, trade, and earn bitcoins.  Anyone could have it as long as they have internet connection and a gadget to connect with it.  As through gadgets or devices of course you need them to mine and have some bitcoins.  I am just using my smartphone to do all the investing, trading, and earning.  If you think that way and amwant to boycott the bitcoin then go ahead.  Just make sure we will not see your name here anymore.

There are tons of people who use bitcoin that I assume are dirt-poor.  Scammers around here for sure.  Bitcoin is most certainly not for the elite.  If you have a smartphone--which most people do--you can use bitcoin.  You can use it from the library if you wanted to.  But unfortunately the places to actually spend it are nil.  At least that I know of.  Maybe merchants in other countries are more enlightened.  Not so much in the U.S.

Unless you made this thread on some kind of non smart phone, I really think you have the capability of sending or receiving bitcoins. I might be wrong, but I don't think so.
thats true, a lot of people say that it would be trouble with the technology though every person has at least some kind of a shitty smartphone to do than or can buy it really cheap

To the OP: It will be better if people like you stay the fuck out of Bitcoin. To make things clear to you, wealth redistribution is not one of the aims of Bitcoin. In 2012, I joined the Bitcoin community, as I was fed up with the exploitation from the banking cartels and the government financial regulators. Back then most of the users here were such ideologically driven people. We don't want any affirmative action or political correctness.

Interesting to see no one's debunked me yet.

The point is that every population should be "classist" because every population is ultimately limited by resources, and in every population, a fraction has to die of what we call "poverty" (starvation and other ways that naturally limit numbers).

As such, there is always a 'class' that has to die of poverty, and it is best if there is a kind of natural selection that makes the best ones survive, and the least preforming ones die quickly.   In the most natural way, there should also be a line of heritage where the best ones can make their children have more chances and the poor ones shouldn't have much surviving children.  It is the way nature keeps populations limited, and species performing.

As such, if performing subgroups find ways to leverage their performance and their advantage, there's nothing wrong with it, on the contrary.  That's how nature works.  There shouldn't be any "public correction mechanisms" such as states and other parasitic re-distributors of merit that cheat on how nature is keeping species performing.

Sorry to break it to you, but the whole world is classist.
You will always be classified by attributes, e.g. how smart you are, how good you look, how good you play piano...and so on.
You could also say football is inherently classist or learning English or finding someone to marry.

At least Bitcoin won't deny anyone to use it, it doesn't care who you are.

Meaning Bitcoin can be use by everyone, whether you are a bad or good person. For what most importan is the usage of bitcoin must continue to grow so the higher demand should be, is the higher price would be in the near future.

the price of the bitcoin it effect on demand and also stock a bitcoin is in mining. If you want to get a good enough price or very high then you can get it without the presence of a fairly high growth of users. you just wait for 4 years sure price will increase very high
