I was wrong about #bitcoin

[Stephen Davis @profsdavis]

I also (kind of) get the humour in this space. I was initially greeted by HFSP and found it quite unsavoury but I believe that's what Satoshi meant when he said:

"If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry"

Thanks @udiWertheimer

Bitcoin is a neutral tool.

It’s not good or bad. People can use it for good or bad. Can criminals use it? Yes. But criminals also use cars, computers and the internet. We don’t hear anyone talking about banning them in a free and open society.

@MindsetBitcoin Coming soon. Lots people people I need to thank :)

[Stephen Davis @profsdavis]

Let's have a frank discussion about bitcoin hype. Bitcoin is really an symptom of the problems of our era, of a post-truth world awash in crackpottery and of a breakdown of trust in our institutions. 🧵 (1/)

[Stephen Davis @profsdavis]

@Frances_Coppola @ahcastor Not sure about that. I think this could be the unraveling...

[Stephen Diehl @smdiehl]

Or you could apply your engineering brilliance to improving humanity rather then hurting it. Remember when that used to be our ideal?

@DefiDiogenesYFI Scamming people is a joke to you?

Dangers of #bitcoin

I've been raising the alarm quietly in my circles for years. I now feel the need to do so publicly. But we need others.

This could get very dangerous. The environment, stability of our currency and system of governance is at stake.

@Cryptopathic @CryptoCobain @shitcointalk Laugh it up. While the party lasts.

If you weren’t clearly scamming you wouldn’t be hiddng behind a cartoon picture.. of a girl!

[Stephen Davis @profsdavis]

@PeterSchiff @SolidusMax Why is everyone so hell bent on collapsing the system?! That would be a disaster for us all.

[Stephen Davis @profsdavis]

Yet another blatant example of crypto people celebrating scamming!

Disgusting...

[Stephen Davis @profsdavis]

@fluffypony Haha you’ve got to be joking! This coin is being delisted by any self respecting exchange.

Trying to make fun of me with wise cracks but it’s actually you who doesn’t understand how the law works. It’s going to be illegal to hold this coin! What then? Zero!! Enjoy scammer.

@3Bayless @Mati_Honorato @aantonop @SimonDixonTwitt @michael_saylor @PrestonPysh Interesting. Do you happen to have an article I could read on the topic? Not too familiar with podcasts.

[Stephen Davis @profsdavis]

A lot of people are asking me what exactly the dangers of #Bitcoin are. I've outlined them below:

1. Environmental damage. This one is obvious. Please refer to my post from yesterday.
