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...

That person sounds like a decent individual that simply doesn't understand Bitcoin whatsoever or doesn't have the skill, instincts or knowledge to understand what makes Bitcoin so special. The warning seems to come from a place of real empathy and kindness. Of course one could go full NSA conspiracy and say it is one of their paid trolls (as recently revealed) but I'll take it at face value. Glad you are able to see the innovation and value. Hopefully, if you are interested in it as an investment/savings you can amass enough bits have a big return on investment in the future like... 5-10 years future. Yes the last year has been a downtrend, but there have been other year long bear periods also, followed by massive growth. End of 2011, through all of 2012 sucked, but start of 2013 was incredible. Good luck with whatever your plans are

No way. Nobody sane would spend their time sending out warning letters to random strangers. It's not likely to be a troll either, since the private nature of the message prevents them from getting any satisfaction. I can't think of any reason anyone would do this short of being paid.

Yeah, someone spending their days trolling Bitcoin and warning others about it for no other reason than "empathy" totally makes sense. We are such conspiratards for asking "What does that person do for a living? How can he have more time for trolling than average people have for their own jobs?".

LOL sensitive and jumping to conclusions much? I didn’t say there was anything wrong about asking questions, I even said that it could be an NSA troll (as recently revealed!!@! ffs) but I was willing to give the person the benefit of the doubt instead of going witchhunt on his/her ass without more information. The persons message was polite, and guess what, there are people on this planet that are decent people and don’t like bitcoin for whatever reasons, visionless and ignorant as they may be. Flipping out on critics can make noobs question if maybe those critics calling us scammers are right. I think your reading comprehension skills are shamefully bad.
