You neglected to mention "retards" in your list, which should be an obvious addition since you're now a part of the community.

Guess I really shouldn't feed the trolls but I do find the string of ad hominem annoying.
At least make an argument if you have something to say.

ad hominem is not always a fallacy. I've made it clear that this thread is about the people that make up the bitcoin community itself.

You're seeing a correlation that doesn't exist.

Bitcoin was created in 2009, the year where president Obama was first inaugurated. The recent rally also coincided with Obama's re-election. None of this is exactly surprising when you take a look at the demographics of the bitcoin userbase. The presence black president no doubt represents the deepest fears of the paranoid, fearful, and delusional libertarians/survivalists/conspiracy theorists/other assorted weirdos and kooks who make up the vast majority of the bitcoin community. Hence the creation of bitcoins and it's sudden rise in demand when Obama was elected and re-elected.  

So on top of bitcoins having nearly no practical uses outside of buying drugs, money laundering, and other highly illegal activities unsuited for proper currencies, the bitcoin userbase is also made up of bigots, racists, fearful gun nuts, paranoid survivalists, economically illiterate nitwits, delusional libertarians, and profiteering scumbags.

Not really helping to prop up bitcoin's facade of legitimacy, is it?  Roll Eyes
