> Sorry Armin/Mr Ronacher/Mitsuhiko but your "Bitcoin is Wild West" rant is unwarranted.

Really? In what way would you say that Bitcoin isn't the Wild West (at least in the sense he intended)?



I said unwarranted. As in, not justified and not related to his recent anecdote.

[Sorry. I couldn't believe you intended the correct meaning of unwarranted and instead meant "unjustified" in an entirely different sense.]

As he pointed out, if tip4commit tried to do what it was doing with anything other than a crypto currency, it'd have to change its ways or be shut down rather quickly; either way, he'd not have to deal with the problems it presents.

That may not be the most central point to his anecdote, but it is certainly a "warranted" point in the discussion.


I misread this before and I replied like a right twat. Sorry about that. Cannot edit or delete it now.


Here's this so you can learn some basic English vocabulary.
