Fortunately, Liberty Reserve isn't going to go away just because it no longer has a wikipedia article. Just like Bitcoin didn't go away when it got deleted.

The preservation of history is important to understanding why things happen now in the present. What is Bitcoin but a history of transactions giving rise to the understanding of what transactions occur now? If no one remembers what LR was or did, how will they understand why Bitcoin came into existence? If we focus on teaching the real past, the use of Bitcoin becomes obvious to those who learn.
