Isn't this just plagiarism?

Not unless he's plagiarising other's articles for his own site.

I checked one of his articles, and it was posted just seconds after the original.

He probably is using a bot to post them automatically.
 
On Bitcointalk, he adds a link to his own website, and on his own website he adds a link tot he original source. He's just using other site's content to get people to his own site.
The link he posts on Bitcointalk doesn't qualify as a source, as it's not linking directly to the original source. I'd say it's plagiarism.

Wait... fo you mean it was posted on a different website and he copied it from there or it's seconds before he posts it on his own site and then here? If he's just stealing other's content and reposting it to his for hits/traffic then that makes this much worse.
