My point is simply this: if you're going to tell someone they are wrong, you have to do better than simply, "you are wrong". And when asked 'why?', you have to do better than, "look it up". And I don't want to argue about it either.
What are the advantages of bitcoins over currency and payment systems that already exist (dollars, credit cards and Paypal)? For Bitcoin to get any traction there needs to be a good reason for people (normal, average people, who don't give a rat's ass about its 'protocols' or what a technical marvel it is) to use it. If it's taxable and it's not anonymous, and it has a mountain to climb in being accepted anywhere, what is the (non ideological) reason to use it?
Not just for you, holograph is welcome to answer too, if he likes.
I'm not even against Bitcoin, I just don't think it will go anywhere, and think has no real, significant use other than as a commodity on the exchanges.
