You're going to censor the board of references to bitcoin as money? So that later you can point to the fact that you tried to cover up the fact that it's a money? If it isn't a money, then just demonstrate that when you get hauled off. If you can't then showing where you tried to get everyone to hide the fact is not going to mean thing. If anything, you'll get conspiracy charges added. Good grief.

Good grief right back!

1. I never advocated censoring this board.
2. Your claim that Bitcoin is money is indefensible.
3. The rest of your statement is incoherent.

Somebody keep an eye on this guy while I'm gone.
It was I who suggested deleting this forum, and replacing it with a moderated one.  The core developers could clarify that Bitcoin was never intended to be anonymous, or to be used as money, but rather as a zero-overhead system for incentivising shared services (or whatever).

Although I wrote that somewhat sarcastically, I'm beginning to think that the clarification is accurate.  That's admittedly extreme.  However, it'd be foolish to forget the e-gold lesson.
