I run my own web sites and do my own thing. What I hate is when I try to explain Bitcoin to someone and they start bringing up all the nut-job stuff. It is embarrassing to try to explain away claims such as Bitcoin will end wars when the clown claiming it is on the agenda of a Bitcoin conference. The comic relief of some of the stupid things you see from these people keeps me going. Actually I bought Bitcoin.me from that Popescu clown via a broker. A transaction that normally takes 2-3 days took 2-3 months.
My first day in Bitcoin was reading a thread of how everyone involved in Bitcoin should be on WoW because that is the only thing that means anything. Then I was referred to Erik Vorhees description of BTC. Then I saw the video of the Bitfloor guy in his skull cap explaining how he lost everyone's funds. I tried buying Bitcoin and I found a guy who used my bank but I found out he was involved in MyBitcoin (I tried to buy bitcoinme.com from the same guy and he wanted $5 million). I ordered mining equipment from that caplepair guy. Then people started threatening him and posting pictures of his family when he didn't deliver and I alerted the police up where he lives. Then you have Theymos, a guy who has the emergency alert key, promoting a fake bank using the Bitcoin Foundation logo. No wonder Satoshi dropped out.
I also see a lot of "professionals" pulling ponzi operations and scamming people out of millions who actively promote regulation and get endorsed by organizations like the Bitcoin Foundation.
You are representing a distorted view of history right now as there are psychopaths, thieves, and con men in all walks of life and backgrounds.
You live in a fantasy world where "certified" corruption and "regulated" crime is acceptable and small time criminals aren't. I do not make such distinctions and actively attack either regardless of their claimed philosophical beliefs. Sociopaths and Con-men are attracted to power like moths to a flame and thus gravitate to positions of authority you seek to impose on the rest of us through voted in institutions of violence. I understand your intentions may be well placed but it is naive to believe that corruption can be eliminated from states or regulators if we just try a little harder or vote the right person in next time.
