  - because it's fake money made with real damage to the environment. it's garbage and just another scheme to funnel money out of bad investors. -- nm - chicken daddy Aug 3, 13:07 6
    - Well, all money is fake. Just look how the fed prints trillions all the time. Bitcoin is hardly a scheme as there are real world solutions currently - oblique Aug 3, 13:12 5
