my number one "misconception" about bitcoin is that it was literally designed to NOT go up in value.

that was the entire point of mining. to keep it from going up in value.

but it was designed POORLY and works in ways never intended by its creators.

of course according to POSIWID it doesn't really matter what the purpose was supposed to be, we know what it actually ended up being, which is more important.

and what it ended up being is the largest ponzi scheme and waste of energy known to man.

oh and by the way, if you're a HODLer you can shove your opinion up your ass. as the saying goes - never ask a barber if you need a haircut.
