That's not correct. The dollar is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. That ain't "nothing."

Well that's a whole different topic, we can save that for the poli board.

I understand the risk of it, and the possibility (or inevitability) of its collapse, but Wiki is doing nothing different than people who praise certain stocks, or try to predict the market. It's all risky, and all could result in someone losing money, but for the people capable of "mining" Bitcoin it risks nothing but time. I doubt anyone here is seriously going to invest thousands of US dollars into Bitcoin. If they do, that's their problem and nobody can be blamed but themselves.

There is a thread on the board (not sure if it's trolling or not) about someone who invested in Iraqi Dinar, and he's not receiving a tenth of the hate Wiki receives. Pretty silly IMO.
