And yet you found time to litter internet with you telling other people that you won't spend even little time understanding the topic at hand or posting something produced by your own thinking... That's even worse than creatively criticising the topic, that's just meaningless jibberjabber.

PS let me rephrase my point: you write "I have ahem lost more than enough time on articles about Bitcoin, and its tiresome wide-eyed fanatics. The comments are bad enough." implying that you have decided for yourself that you are not wanting to spend any more time on adding meaningful things to this conversation.

Who do you think is interested in this information? Why on earth would you think it's a useful thing to share (on top of that with that negative attitude that makes it painful for a normal person to read)? If you don't want to participate, just don't.

I assume comments like that are from people who are conflicted by the fact that if their head weren't so far up their ass they would have entertained the notion enough to at least acquire a few bitcoin, but because it's now too late it's better to celebrate just how far up their ass their head is.

You are basically restating this crappy argument:

See the replies. There is nothing more to add to this deeply dull line of thinking.

And yet what I responded to was a restatement of the same "deeply dull line of thinking" as you put it that triggered the responses you say I'm restating. I'm not sure what your point is, other than to say people on the internet tend to restate things.

Yeah I wish the bitcoiners would just bitcoin off and bitcoin happily together, leaving the rest of us in peace. But pyramid schemes depend on continually hyping the product, so they can't.

You know you don't _have_ to read about bitcoin, right?

I've worked with a bitcoin bore.

An analogy for you: like working with an Evangelical Christian who always assumes that your annoyance at their pestering _can only be jealousy_ that Jebus won't let you into heaven.

I mean I get it but your annoyance in this case appears to be directed at evangelicals on the internet you are free to ignore, as opposed to coworkers the presence of whom you have little choice. Maybe you are less free to complain about coworkers and so instead complain here? Either way, your complaining is no less annoying than the thing you're complaining about.
