I like to try to bring a smile to the face of the people with whom I am attempting to influence and I often struggle at doing so. However, there's this great tool called Open Source where the community gets together to accomplish amazing things so with that in mind... post your replies to critics and let the community have a go at building upon your witty retorts:

The three gigantic bubbles, hacks, frauds, opposition of governments, etc that you mentioned- in what time period did that happen? Two years?

Your "currency", backed by the bright eyed myopia of naiveté, is unstable and doomed to failure.
The rest of us are watching a train wreck in slow motion, but we're normally used to doing it AFTER THE FACT. That's what makes this whole thing so fascinating-- you're still selling tickets for a ride.

Personally, I will welcome you when you realize that the apparent train wreck is nothing more than the bitcoin locomotive clearing the tracks with the cowcatcher and that your viewpoint is that of a friend of the herd of corruption witnessing, yet not fully understanding the chaotic sight as an honest accounting plows through fakery and deceit. You will awake from this nightmare, and let me be the first to call out - Aaaaaaaaaaall abooooooard! Peace Train!

Also, please share your favorite bitcoin fanatic saying in this thread for collaboration and critique
