Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
I just noticed that on Apr/09 some "nice person" edited my entry in Wikipedia, adding the statement that I am an enthusiastic bitcoin investor and owner of one of the 500 largest bitcoin fortunes. (The anonymous "nice person" who did it used the IP 145.101.24.158, which is registered to "Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam, Keizersgracht 440, Nl-1016 Gd, The Netherlands".) 
Apart from the attempt to harm me personally, I deeply resent the vandalization of Wikipedia for such purposes. But I should not be surprised. Unfortunately the bitcoin "ecosystem", from the "patriarchs" and "whales" down to the drooling daytraders, seems to be heavily infested by people who are capable of much worse things.
Which is another reason why I am extremely skeptical about the success of bitcoin. Why would the world agree to cede control of the global internet currency to such "adorable" people, and let them steal a large slice of its wealth?

I once left my motorcycle outside downtown with the ignition hotwired. It wasnt there when I came back. I don't blame the city. I don't defame it or consider its people more or less criminal than those of other cities.
Every day, people around the world are killed for fiat money.
