>Did you not state that the only legit use of bitcoin is criminal activity? Does that not insinuate that bitcoiners are a bunch of no-good criminals and/or gamblers? That's pretty in line with bigotry. "They're all a bunch of criminals" is the same behavior you see from a lot of other groups of bigots.
I neither said nor implied anything of the sort. Nor was anything along those lines intended. There's no subtext or nefarious/disparaging implication either.
That you interpreted my statements that way says much more about you than it does about me.
How does that old saw[0] from the bible go? Ah yes:
The wicked flee when no man pursueth.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
Have a good day and I hope you have an outlet for that stress and anger. It's not very becoming.

The exact same thing can be said about literally every currency in use today.

> would likely
You are full of shit. Since you love citing sources, please provide the source that proves this claim ^.
> that it bothers you says more about you than it does about me
You are spreading misinformation in the worst way - mindlessly parroting trolls and deceitful politicians.

> angry reaction to factual statements
Not angry.
Let me state some facts: The absolute most disgusting criminals in the world 1) Breathe oxygen 2) Drink water 3) Use cell phones 4) Use websites
Does this imply that oxygen, water, cell phones, and websites are only useful for criminals?
