This is episode 156 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast!
Some people just have to complain about everything, and Bitcoin is certainly an easy target. So today's show is all about Bitcoin haters.
It all started with a tweet about how Bitcoin naysayers will have to change their strategy in 2017. It's becoming harder and harder for them to say that Bitcoin is dead, so they'll have to find other ways to harass us. The Bitcoin Rat outlined some possible attack vectors that we'll cover in the show.
Rats travelling for the next 3 to 4 hours ... will be back on-line later 🙂

As part of the discussion, we'll express some concern about Bitcoin worshipers too. Some people are obsessed with Bitcoin's potential and constantly claim that the price will never stop rising. But unfortunately, such talk can easily detract from Bitcoin's real value.
Your hosts this week are Daniel Brown, John Stuart, and Zack Voell. Tune in if you want to help hate on the haters!
