I keep seeing you trolling crypto, u mad that you didn't get in early?

If you think it's sooo stupid, why do you keep digging this stuff up and posting it?

Did you see that overstock.com will be accepting Bitcoin later this year? Or that Fortress Investments is creating a Bitcoin fund now? This makes several funds now, soon Bitcoin will be easily available as an investment tool to the masses with no technical understanding needed.

Keep laughing.

Do you even understand what cryptocurrency really does? The power of a distributed, timestamped, and immutable transaction ledger? You remind me of this guy:

Yeah, I'm mad, but not in the sense that you're thinking of, more like the kind of anger when I'm witnessing an old lady being taken advantage of. I don't participate in scams.

And I didn't have to dig for anything, it's on the front page of every news sources. You still didn't answer my very important question regarding the Neopets coins exchange rate. I too do want to be empowered.

Oh, and of course I'll make a mockery of something that I personally think is stupid.

Who exactly, is being scammed? USD has lost 98% of its purchasing power in the last 80 years. Who's scamming who?

I suppose any publicity is good publicity.

I did some Googling on "Neopets coins" and didn't find much of anything except some web store talking about collectible coins. Are you daft? Do you really not see the difference between Bitcoin and plastic trinkets printed by some random company? What exactly are we comparing here?

Let's compare the USD to Linden dollars while we're at it, since they both have the word dollar in them(I'm guessing that's how you arrived at Bitcoin vs NeoPet coin, seeing as that's the only parallel that I can draw between them). Wait, they're both centralized and can be inflated and manipulated at will by their sole issuer. Maybe that's not so far-fetched after all... Although, the Linden dollars are sure easier to send around the world instantly and much more cheaply than the USD, so I suppose they do have that going for them.

Also, you realize that this is an open source project, right? Anyone can fork it and make whatever they please out of it. That doesn't make the original project any less credible. People attempt to build cars themselves out of ridiculous things even today(and you should see some of the concepts that were floated in the early days), that doesn't mean that the entire concept of an automobile is flawed.

I've never mentioned bitcoin in this thread, you did. Anyways, I could always see a future for a ”currency” that could be created with botnets. I honestly worked harder for my Neopets coins, that there were a lot of mouse clicks, let me tell ya.

So, what legitimize bitcoins vs. the inevitable onslaught of millions other digi currencies?

You keep using GM, they did go out of business.

fix that for ya
But that's just it, he didn't create it. Someone created it and wanted him to endorse it, I guess for the lulz.
I'm just going to give up, he obviously has no clue and doesn't care to have one.
Answer one question - can any of these crypto-currency be created by botnets? Yes, or no? Very simple question. There's your freaking clue right there.
