Thank you for being here and allowing full discussion, and the irony of bans

I should frame these comments by noting that I am a Bitcoin agnostic. I have owned Bitcoin indirectly. I don't own any now. I think it's a fascinating decentralized venture into reinventing money.

I'm skeptical of what I see as unsupported arguments, pro or con, and I voice that. I sometimes make arguments that, had I known more, I might not have made, but that's the nature of discovery by conversation. I'm open to hearing where I have overgeneralized or where I am entirely wrong. Lately, I've seen more reasons to doubt the price levels of Bitcoin, and I voiced those thoughts... elsewhere. And was banned.

The mods there banned me with a message containing many links to counter-arguments, arguments I am incorporating in my views. But, of course, I can't even thank them for the additional information because they banned me from their subreddit and banned me from contacting the mods. At least I can still read there.

So I appreciate this forum, and I'm all the more skeptical now. Not of Bitcoin, but of socially engineered enthusiasm.
