I don't really understand your (nor Mircea's) point. Are you trying to say that some overt Bitcoin supporters are plants from PR companies doing positive astroturfing/Bitcoin brand amplification? Not just the standard negative trolling of style similar to the Something Awful?


It seems someone is indeed astroturfing. Not as a point of Bitcoin promotion, but promoting a certain kind of future for Bitcoin. It is very likely the grammatically correct, technically word salad posters are hired.
