If Reddit existed in 1995 the modern day r/buttcoin sub would be comparable to a sub called r/internot, a place for people who hate the internet and are certain it's a scam and will disappear eventually.

Bitcoin is the currency of the Internet: a distributed, worldwide, decentralized digital money. Unlike traditional currencies such as dollars, bitcoins are issued and managed without any central authority whatsoever: there is no government, company, or bank in charge of Bitcoin. As such, it is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. With Bitcoin, you can be your own bank.
