Agreed. But you brought it up so I responded.

Wiki is doing nothing different than people who praise certain stocks,

Which is not allowed on this board. Or, at least it used to be not allowed. Chicken would intervene with a post whenever he thought someone was touting a stock too much.

for the people capable of "mining" Bitcoin it risks nothing but time.

True, along with the $650 hardware wiki says is required to mine "efficiently."

wiki encourages people not to mine bitcoins (he says he has never mined bitcoins) but to BUY bitcoins. That is what drives up the price of BC, which benefits him.

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.

If he started a thread or replied to a dinar thread almost weekly touting the dinar, you would see a difference in the replies he gets. Besides, I think his thread was tongue in cheek, IOW, a funny troll attempt.

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.

I agree and I disagree. Some people believe anything they read on the internet. For example, I bet you didn't know in my spare time I'm a French male model.....
