As you say, to each their own.
Yeah, I wobbled about using the term "cheerleader", though its not really derogatory, just enthusiastic (maybe I should have said that instead), anyways, I'm not a "Debbie downer", I'm just watching to see how this evolves and I haven't made any accusations about anything, just stating concerns, thats all. You should calm down a bit if you want to sell the product in a good light. And you assume I have "no desire" to learn. You know sh*t about me. But, at least we agree on "to each its (don't know what you are) own".............

So you don't look like a fool spouting non-sense about a system, protocol, or currency you simply do not know, don't want to know and just dismiss as a slight. To each their own, no one is forcing you to read, respond or remark in this forum. But all I see is back in forth between you, Blink, and a couple others. Looking completely foolish because you have no understanding of how a P2P system works. You act like governments or banks can just flip a switch and shut it down. THEY CAN'T!!
You act like they are all powerful THEY ARE NOT!
You act like they are all knowing THEY ARE NOT!
Don't you think they would of shut down bit-torrent networks by now? Silk Road, up and running for 3+ years now, not so much as a raid on the site by any authorities in any country. If you know how to mask your IP, you can appear anywhere in the world. Bitcoin is a currency developed to meet the needs of people who want to transact business without having their government or bank involved in the process. I thought that's why we were all here is it not?
So a solution comes along, you and others like you dismiss it and throw some wild ass conspiracies with no proof, no thought, and no understanding of it's foundations.
I'm not going to go through your whole list of rants. You act like you have all the answers, YOU DON'T!! There doesn't seem to be a discussion, its all rah, f*cking rah BTC (There, I learned the acronym, happy) and any concerns are brushed aside like we're frightened children. F*ck you and horse you rode in on. You want to sell me something, I want assurances (especially these days) and Bitcon doesn't provide enough of them and neither do you........

You haven't expressed a desire to learn, just vent your concerns and make baseless accusations. I don't need to know shit about you. Do I care? Nope, only thing I get sick and tired of is people making accusations about something they don't understand. Its not my job to educate you or sell you a "product" that's YOUR job. I'm not going to spoon feed you anything.

LOL temper temper little child. No fuck you and the ignorant horse that brought you here. I do have answers when it pertains to something I've studied for a while. You're being brushed aside for the frightened child that you are. Cling to your gold and silver, fine by me.
But it's not my fucking job to educate you, or to sell your worthless ass anything. Not my job to give you any assurances. So go back into that hole you crawled out of and stay there while the world moves on without you.

Everyone was saying they had no idea who he was.

Nope, no one knows his real identity. If you developed a system that could collapse empires, would you want to be known for it?
Satoshi Nakamoto, who created Bitcoin in 2009, left the system to develop on its own in 2011; his true identity was never revealed.
One popular theory among Russian bloggers speculates that Nakamoto is Grigory Perelman, a reclusive Russian mathematician famous for solving the Poincaré conjecture and receiving the Fields Medal – the 'Nobel prize of math,' – for the achievement.

No one, that's the beauty of it being Open Source. The source code is there, you can improve upon it, add your name for recognition and go on to the next project.

Of course.
Other than that, the only thing about intention in the white papers is that it removes trust.
This thing is doomed without it.
