But who are you to say what has negative value for society? Who gives anybody that right? If bitcoin truly is useless, like you say, it will peter out and be abandoned, because they won't be able to sustain it. That's how new ideas are tried out. It's what brings vitality and dynamism to an economy.

I would happily get rid of my Netflix account, but if people would take away my Bitcoin (good luck trying), it would be devastating to my life. Many don't understand it that at this point Bitcoin is a means of survival for tens or hundreds of millions of people, just like the stock market is a means of survival for billions of people in their pension funds.
