Of course I signed up to and pre-authorised all of this, and forgot to cancel when I stopped using them, so it's 100% my own fault. But something doesn't feel right about it.
And if accounts had to be segregated then losses should have been segregated too, not socialised.
And I got out of Mt. Gox way before it hit the wall because it lacked any similar re-assurances.
Impossible? Hardly. You can count the good ones on your fingers and they are not hard to spot.
You're falling for the so-called "sunk cost fallacy".

What does have a bearing is whether they intend to sell or hold those Bitcoins. If they believe the value go up before they sell, then they would continue to mine speculatively.
I encourage lists at work but the first objection is often around our "need to know" security policy, thanks to ISO.
This requires signup which completely defeats the object of Bitcoin donations and leads me to the conclusion that this site is a thinly veiled attempt to attract users to Beam.
I know only this because I genuinely tried to donate.
Am I missing something or are you?
This is what traction looks like, sometimes it's messy. That doesn't mean it's not legitimate.
What does legitimising a currency mean anyway? It's already used as a medium of exchange and a store of value, that's legitimate.
But if you are going to try and compare it to the "legitimacy" of fiat money, you're not going to find what you're looking for.
Bitcoin is an anarchist concept, it does not seek to be legitimised. It is achieving exactly what is set out to do.
you could just see the fluctuations as the currency being honest about its value as opposed to fiat money which is just as vulnerable yet artificially stabilised (legitimised?).
