Bitcoin...
Bitcoin is a worldwide cryptocurrency and digital payment system: called the first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central repository or single administrator. It was invented by an unknown person or group of people under the name Satoshi Nakamoto.
Here's just ONE reason why digital currency is a bad idea. The two guys who invented this back in 2009 are an unknown. If anything in this digital currency system turns out to be a bad thing. You lose. Not them...you.
Since the idea, method and authors are unknown...so is the system. No matter how many "proofs" are on the internet, you have no TRUE way of knowing if there's not some way ...to just pull the plug someday.
If one day it all goes kaput..who ya gonna call, who ya gonna blame. There is NO ONE backing this digital currency.
If you HAVE "lose-able" spare money, then you won't be risking anything. For everyone else...it's a major risk.
Throughout history there have been millions of get rich quick schemes. I think most of you know the results.
I don't want to argue about it, discuss it, etc. This is how I feel about it. Until there is someone or some institution backing this digital currency...it's nothing more than rolling the dice at Las Vegas.
That is not how it works, there is no way to put this genie back in a bottle, and it does not need anyone in charge of it, that is the beauty of this system. it is anarchy working as it should.
