Anything innovative will have early adopters, including
any publicly trading company. Still, I think Bitcoin
has better distribution than any altcoin, especially
since high block subsidies are being given for years.
The fact that price is low today ($240) compared
to last year, gives plenty of people the opportunity
to get on board.
I trust the grandfather of cryptocurrency. Even if he
dumps, it will only crash the price, not the technology.
You are making the noobish mistake of conflating transaction
time for confirmation time. Transactions are near instant.
Most real world point of sale transactions need zero confirmations.
Double spend attempts can be mitigated by probing the mempool
for various nodes.
You can't have it both ways...You can't complain that the
early adopters got all the coins and then in the next
breath complain that too many coins are still being given
away.
Anyway, the inflation isn't that high -- 10% annual,
until it drops to 5% in 2016, then 2.5% in 2020 etc.
That is done on purpose for security reasons.

Let people short sell if they want. Don't care.
Promises? Who said Bitcoin was a get rich quick scheme?
I usually send for no fee or a fraction
of a penny.
It's the best brand.
Logo is pedestrian, but don't care.
Well, that's your opinion, and perfectly valid,
but I disagree. I think it has potential to
increase 100x in the next 10 years.
Bigger market cap makes it more stable than any alt.
Don't see that. GHash is only at 9% now.

Obviously some people want it
or they wouldn't keep paying
to support them. I really
don't care.
Who is? What ethical values? Non point here. Don't care.
Besides Gavin agreeing to see the CIA
to answer questions, what other
evidence do you have of this?
Don't care.
Bitcoin is THE innovator...plus look at all the BIPs.
You love having it both ways, don't you...
You were just complaining all the hype is gone.
Can't help what the media does... Don't care.
Naive comment.
In proof of work, Marginal Cost = Marginal Revenue.

Nice try, FUDSTER...this isn't the transaction fee.
This chart represents "miners revenue divided by the number of transactions"
Pretty nice explanation here! I don't think the boy needs anymore explaining now
