Arguing from an ignorant point of view is actually the worst sin to commit against humanity. There is so much information on bitcoins online that you can read and easily understand - Not everything is for everyone, if it doesn't fit you bill (or by any chance you think its a pyramid scheme) simply keep of it. Its like someone ever telling you do not touch the US Dollar, it is evil and has masonic symbols!
