They don't think it is a good model, they don't think it will end well, but they all are investing in it. Come to think of It, we are better off without these guys. They manipulate markets, make money and then bring everything crashing down.

You don't have to ask an opinion to get it. These people can voice their (admittedly false) opinion and there are people who will listen to them.
Bitcoin is a thread to all FIAT currencies, banks and other financial institutions which is why these people are salty.

Auch...
That was not such a good analogy. Actually it's one of the worst ones possible..
Cause the mailman still has a job and gets mail delivered each day while lycos...bankrupt and almost dead.

Change that to the fax machine and email.


 

Maybe they are sponsored by someone to promote fiat currency.
Besides it past their time and they don't have a clue to what they are saying.
If Bitcoin was back up by a government and they controlled it, it would be back to square one.
We are into bitcoins because we wanted to be free and also make a profit out of it.

You are right. These comments from high level leaders that are based on very little insight, are just based on the human nature to defend. Some people call it "sunk cost."

These are the guys who know how media works. They are influencing you by telling you lies, so the price can drop, and smart investors can buy when the price is cheap.  

From Hollywood, to Cable TV to the Internet, mass media has had a huge effect on perceptions, cultures, mindsets and societies as a whole. As an entrepreneur, I know how powerful the media has and can be. I would just urge people to watch news from afar and study true knowledge i.e. books up close. As long as you understand the fundamentals of Bitcoin there is nothing to worry about for the long term. 

They are either ignorant about bitcoin or they just want to attract media attention. Bitcoin is becoming popular everyday and that there are a lot of people investing into it. Those are afraid that one day there will be no need for bankers like Jamie Dimon or JPMorgan. But the more they says negative things about bitcoin, the more the prices go high. So let them voice out their opinion, whether is negative, because its attracts people and they become curious as to what bitcoin is and maybe swayed to put some invested into the market. So its still publicity to us. But Dimon and JPMorgan has been exposed already because during the price crash about a week ago, they bought large amount of bitcoin. We all know that he is trying to pull back the price again to their advantage.

It's vivid enough to see why they feel the way they do! Bitcoin is not and will never be a great model for manipulating the market, a tool for making only a few, stupendously rich while many end up with huge and inexplicable debts the rest of their lives.

Seriously, no real bitcoiner needs these late comers ideas about Bitcoin, except for the ones that do not even understand their place with Bitcoin in the first place.

We just have to take this stuff in stride.  If you watch the financial shows, some the guests think (take your pick:  oil, gold, stocks, bonds, various fiat currencies, etc) is going up, some think it's going to crash ... Some are right, some are wrong.  The fact that mainstream financial news is covering bitcoin and other cryptos at all is perhaps a win, even if many of the guests are badmouthing it.  It's on their radar, at least.

There are people who talk negative about BTC and they are doing it with (paid) reason.
It's called "money talk speculations".
If some famous guy talk about BTC positive or negative, he is doing it with reason.
But that is not so much important. More important is what our BTC is capable for, so we all have a brain and can see it.
So, don't worry about some CEO talks.
