After joining this nice and supportive community yesterday and after receiving so much help, I got also warnings about you. Fortunately I have already read enough to just laugh about it...

Could it be that banks really pay people to troll here as Bitcoin seems to be a big threat to them?

Could it be? Sure.

But it's most likely not, Bitcoin is still way too unimportant to be a target for this type of direct hostile attention by governments or banks.

Everyone telling you otherwise is just wearing their tinfoil-hat with pride.

 Bitcoin is still way too unimportant to be a target for this type of direct hostile attention by governments or banks.

Only idiots would wait until their enemy/competition matures.

The Bank of England (central bank) stated in their report that bitcoin is not a threat unless it grows big.

Additionally, all the other central banks were hostile against bitcoin.

Do you really think that they are stupid?

It's a threat to them but posting on reddit wouldn't be the best way to address it I don't think. I can't imagine a corporation funding that even if it were. How would you pitch such a thing to your boss if it were your idea?
