Bitcoin needs to survive for the simple reason that the block chain is literally the future of currency and has revolutionized secure transactions.

I dunno, blockchain currencies have the potential to do a lot of good. Always remember the early adopters will always be doing so for nefarious means. Cell phones and the internet have a ton of history with supporting shady things, but that doesn’t detract from its power or usefulness.

I wish all cars would just die. Mostly because they’re a huge enabler of armed robbery.

I hate the title of this article cause i need cryptocurrency. It isn’t strictly a investment tool. I been treating it like a bank but since it can increase in value i been making money unlike my actual bank account. I won’t lie i don’t trust bitcoin persay cause of those Chinese firm. But it been a god send for me.

I own zero Bitcoin. I have never owned a Bitcoin.

You don’t know how Bitcoin works and don’t really have a point. It’s okay to be angry, but obtuse and angry is a bad look.

Bitcoin is not anonymous. The blockchain prevents that.

Except Bitcoin is open source.....it's completely transparent.

Thank you for disqualifying yourself with those answers.

“poor implementation of a shallow proof of concept” - See, you only repeat yourself but you never explained by the PoC is shallow nor why it’s a poor implementation.

I partially already did. Basically today’s financial institutions require a key holder to provide the trust to a certain network, SWIFT, VISA network, MasterCard network etc., and at the same time carefully vet everyone who should be given access to that network. Not so bitcoin which generates trust through it’s…

How about instead of trolling you give reasons for your opinion with a proper statement why bitcoin and blockchain shouldn’t be worth the recognition? Maybe then others will cut you some slack instead of just laughing about you.

I think you’re in over your head, here.

Posting an opinion without having the knowledge of the topic to provoke other comments is trolling. And not having the knowledge is being clueless.

And I would say a commenting systems was a rather ingenious approach to get people to comment, but then I saw your comments and I realized it really is for clueless trolls to be annoying.

Jesus, please stop yourself. Your posts are embarrassingly ignorant.

The blockchain is the main achievement here, and calling it a “flawed proof of concept” shows that you are out of touch with the reality of this invention. Satoshi’s invention is now a topic that major corporations and banks discuss very extensively. We are seeing NASDAQ using the blockchain now for stocks. IBM is…

I would say the concept of blockchain is a rather ingenious approach of using a distributed database as a record repository for currency exchange and to use this as a ledger for a decentralized currency. And I’m not alone seeing innovation labs like level39 looking together with major banking institutes into leverage…

You're an idiot then. Don't shit on stuff you have no idea about

Wow, it wasn’t perfect so it’s not worthy of recognition. And I guess Einstein is a dope because he made mistakes in all seven proofs of E=mc2
