Even digital fiat money isn’t immune from the pump & dump syndrome.

Beware of the bitcoin moneychangers.

if you don’t understand the concept of intrinsic wealth, you will die poor, cold, and hungry in a government sponsored ghetto.

Bitcoins always struck me as bordering on a scam. The funny part is how it is embraced by people who complain about fiat currency when bitcoins are fiat on steroids and have the disadvantage of limited acceptance.
