Do the downvoters care to explain themselves instead of just trying to bury my post? Do you guys think the constant forks, obvious coordinated market manipulation, constantly changing story about what Bitcoin is supposed to be, and general obnoxiousness and ridiculous behavior of the majority of Bitcoin cultists makes Bitcoin look good to outsiders?

As someone who has been involved with and supportive of Bitcoin for several years (I started mining in 2011), the fact that it's impossible to point out any of the negative aspects of Bitcoin and the community surrounding it without just being downvoted or accused of "not holding any Bitcoin and being jealous" is starting to become incredibly tiresome. Denying the negative aspects of this sector is just going to encourage those negatives to continue. You guys are your own worst enemy.

I know a number of people who won't touch Bitcoin with a 500ft pole because of this shit. These are people with large sums of money that could be flowing into the sector, who are being chased away by the stupidity and shysterish behavior of the Bitcoin community and shady exchanges.
