Supposedly Facebook runs a really clean and straightforward operation, too. I hear banks are really generous as well.

I hear bitcoin investors only want to decentralize currency, too. It's def not a scam. Totes legit. Let's all go buy lots of bitcoins! Who wants monkey nfc's and exploding kittens nfc's!?
