Ok... I haven't dropped in here in a couple of weeks. And I'm quite surprised Fluffy Pony is in here typing in all caps. So something must def be up.
Too lazy to back read right now as I'm in a noisy bus trying to get home. Can anyone give me the tldr version?
Someone played the conspiracy card in regards to Monero's wikipage--though I have a hunch that was to pique conspiracy minded folk enough to click on a pm that was mass executed on reddit with some dubious links--I'm sure a few noobs were baited enough to be caught in the phishing attempt.
Speculation: I think it's a variation of the reverse trolling campaigns we've seen many times before. An adversary (tptb, usual suspects, hostile TLAs, Zcash/Ethereum/Dash etc etc) seeks to paint Monero as a dysfunctional community of vandals. Mission: "Associate Monero with an air of impropriety & transgression & barbarism." Goal: Maximal accumulation of the world's only truly fungible digital cash.
