 Legendary response!.... The original email was poorly written and meant to cause alarm, but carries a valid message within..... the first rule of Bitcoin is do not invest more than you are prepared to lose. Secondly, your transactions are not private and wallets are sketchy, sometimes they may or may not have backdoors......digital currency IS enevitable, we are in a digital age from here on out. Bitcoin still has many challenges, it is not the guaranteed winner. Just because it makes sense to you and me, doesn't mean it will be in the final adoption plan anywhere. We barely got cryptography, just by the skin of our teeth..... there are many bitcoiners, and we surround ourselves daily with bitcoin talk in these echo chambers, but honestly... There really aren't that many of us..... I am personally hopeful for a bitcoin future, the awesome one that everyone else wants, but I live in reality and sometimes things happen that don't make sense. Nobody can see into the future, So God Bless Bitcoiners and my our quest for a better world be fulfilled....Raining love on anyone who read this far....
