Maybe you haven't been following the discussions over at Reddit and Bitcoin Forums. Some idiots buy what they spent at Coinbase, which basically is costing them 1% + $0.15 + margin difference in hopes to keep bids and asks in balance. You're dealing with people with serious psychological disorders here!

Says the guy patrolling Reddit, HN and even a few other websites constantly bashing bitcoin and calling its users idiots. People engaging in this kind of behavior usually do it because they feel like they've missed the boat and are trying to resolve their cognitive dissonance by convincing themselves it doesn't matter because it's not going to work anyway.
If you have no vested interest in bitcoin going either way, why are you spending such an inordinate amount of time participating in the bitcoin community constantly trying to drag it down? What's in it for you? Don't you have anything better to do with your life?
For instance, I own no gold so I really couldn't care less where it goes and reeducating misguided gold owners would be the lowest thing on my list of priorities.
