Naysayers? Does that mean you are a yes sayer? Bitcoin is a question?
Seems more like an overpriced valueless commodity controlled in majority by Chinese miners who have ASIC rigs only a couple companies in the world can produce. So its basically centralized even if the protocol isn't.
How much stake do you have in Bitcoin? (Technical people can understand what Bitcoin is and yet despise the blatant canvasing by owners of Bitcoin.) I find the blatant tarlipping to be offensive. Just admit when you have the asset if you are going to try to get people to part with their hard earned money for what amounts to a global ponzi scheme.
