did you know that bitcoin allows you to send money to anyone in the world for free over the instantaneous web? no need for confusing money orders!

did you know that bitcoin is fully distributive? everyone on the bitcoin network called the block chain shares the work of verifying purchases, making for one of the most powerful computer networks on the planet! :monocle:

did you know that there's only a finite number of bitcoins that can exist? the creator of bitcoin, Satoshi namakato, rightly predicted that if a currency just had an unlimited supply, it would be worthless! so he made sure there would be only a certain amount of bitcoins available. but don't worry! the limit is 21m bitcoins, far more than anyone will ever need or own.

did you know that bitcoin allows you to buy things completely anonymously? :aaa:bitcoin doesn't store any of your personal information or asks for it, so your porn purchases are safe with bitcoin :ssh: and when you want to open a new bitcoin account, you won't need to worry about any draconian id checks or drive for hours to a bank:dance:, you only need to sit in front of your computer! :f5:how convenient:hchatter:

bitcoin's entire purpose is to secure capital away from society. it is therefore inherently evil

no you're mistaken my goonish friend bitcoin actually gives the means of banking back to the people. it's actually inherently good, unlike fiat curremcy

bitcoin's purpose is to take money from libertarians and other idiots and give it to scammers and Chinese money launderers
