What would cause JorgeStolfi to buy? Has he ever mentioned what the "tipping point" for him would be? I am curious.
I already said that. I won't buy it for speculation, investment (whose "sale" I consider a scam), or even to help "the cause" (which at this point seems to have been totally derailed by "libertarians" and greedy financiers).I do agree that there seem to be a lot of libertarians in bitcoin, and attempting to suggest that bitcoin is the libertarian solution. There is some truth in some of these libertarian claims, but I try NOT to let them bother me to the extent that some of the ideas seem contrary to mine. In other words, I believe that there is room in the bitcoin world for NON-libertarians and NON libertarians can positively influence the direction of bitcoin.
greedy financiers are definitely in the midst.. but they are NOT gonna derail bitcoin.. at least NOT in the near term future.
So, derail is the wrong word.. influence and manipulate, yes to some extent, but derail.. nope... dont think so...
