(785 posts)Do you honestly think that I care rather you personally buy any? I do in fact have some stockpiled that I don't plan on touching for a decade or two. That said, I am 99.999% certain that you don't have the capital to move the price of Bitcoin a penny globally.
I personally play the defender because I honestly think it's world changing technology, like penicillin, or sliced bread. I think it has the power to stop wars and make life on this planet much easier for everyone involved.
And that's not all... The blockchain technology that underlies Bitcoin has barely started its evolution. The blockchain will one day bind together fleets of self driving automobiles. It will open your front door for you and store your health records securely. It will provide humanity it's first truly global marketplace to exchange goods and services. It will do things we cant even dream of now.
I don't expect you to understand this yet. You think its a buzzword wrapped around a flim-flam. Your opinion will change though. Much like those that used to think human powered flight was impossible, your butt will be firmly ensconced inside blockchain technology and you may or may not even recognize it.
