I'm new to the forum... Why do so many people get on here hating Bitcoin?  If they have nothing invested it seems like a waste of time unless their plan was to sell, bash and then buy in at a lower price. 

The comparisons to beanie babies and pogs are ridiculous. But if you are going to compare Bitcoin to a useless fad that became collectible you could sort of compare it to baseball cards.  As you know before the early 80's sports cards were produced in a limited quantity and many were destroyed or were lost because the lack of knowledge of future value (like bitcoin). Once popular (during the 80's) the card companies started overproducing "newer and better cards" to keep up with demand from people who saw others make good money off their old collections (like altcoins).  Hoping for a return from the investments card collectors in the 80's would be disappointed...  Point is, if any of the digital currencies has any chance of succeeding it will be Bitcoin due to the time of adoption and somewhat fair distribution due to lack of knowledge of potential value. So if you are bashing Bitcoin for some other shit coin have fun because it will be worthless some day.

baseball cards/btc
I was just talking shit about the metaphors people use to contend Bitcoin is a fad and something better will replace it.  I don't think Bitcoin is anything like baseball cards   but was using it to explain the reason most altcoins will fail as an investment.

I see people trading on their android devices and getting their account hacked but rarely see iPhones get hacked.  If you have ever submitted an app to apple you know the standards for submission - often taking more than a month to get accepted. To the developers/techy people on this forum it means nothing and pisses you off but for the other idiots (like me) we need limitations. Similar to Myspace and FaceBook, Myspace decided to give everyone the ability to edit their fucking page while Facebook limited it.  Soon people had put so much bullshit on their pages the shit ran so slow it became unusable. Regulation is good sometimes in life and if the decentralized Bitcoin gets adopted we need something that is safe for the idiots.

"Studies have found that a much larger percentage of mobile malware targets Android over iOS, the software that runs Apple’s devices. That’s primarily due to Android’s huge global popularity and its open approach. Plus, Apple securely controls which apps are available on its App Store, strictly reviewing all apps to avoid allowing malware through."

LOL!!! With Jobs dead (the king of simplicity) Apple will eventually take a hit trying to follow the competition.  If Bitcoin is an option on Plaso I will trade my iPhone in for a Samsung. I promise!

Fuck, what's it take

"Researchers found that 99% of active bitcoin malware is targeted at Windows users, so those running Mac OS X or Linux are in a much more secure position."

(edit) I feel like an ass... android is linux isn't it

I'm new to the forum.  I about left to never come back but just realized how much nicer it is later at night after the children/trolls go to bed. 

polo coins getting dumped and btc going up... makes you wonder how far this will go and if it was planned before halving.

If you are a whale trying to buy btc before halving then why not pump the shit out of eth on polo first then sell into btc making 10x the btc that you would if you would of just bought into btc.  Sure alts will follow?

Because you have been hitting the slots over at the polo casino?
