I was offended by Darthcoin once... Then I got over it and moved on.

NO I don't agree with everything he says, or anyone else for that matter. But that is the beauty of Bitcoin. It was born out of financial crisis, is available to all, and the confrontational environment it flourishes in is the reason it will succeed.

Some of the saltiest, grumpiest people I've encountered have a lot of knowledge to impart to others... NOT because they are always right (in fact sometimes they are wrong) but they have been around a while and have seen a thing or two.

At that point it's about... "what to adopt" that we see in others - adopt the good, dump the bad and be your own person with your own values drawing your own conclusions.

Bitcoin has to survive the confrontational/winner takes all environment of an internet forum... because if it cannot flourish in that environment it will never become the trade-medium of the BRICS, and of the world, which is its real future eventually.
