I was going to post exactly that. People are funny. If they perceive something is biased against them, they are much less likely to adopt its' use or even encourage its' existence. In fact, I bet there is a fair bit of quiet satisfaction around here every time another "$xxxx bitcoin stolen" story gets posted simply because most of us feel as tho the ship has sailed and we missed it. FWIW, I don't really care one way or another - if this currency exists in ten years, it'll just be another opportunity I missed early on. I'm at peace with that, but I am also not going to buy a bitcoin mining rig. :P

And usually people don't purchase things because they are "fair". People purchase luxury cars, big houses, drugs etc. for purely selfish reasons, to enjoy life. If we think that currency is just another selection in the market, people will use the currency that will benefit them most. Fairness has nothing to do with it.
