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.

Which I think steers people away from it even more knowing how much trouble it is to actually mine it.

And I've never seen Wiki literally say to buy Bitcoin, I could be wrong, but I've read many of these threads.

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.

True, but Bitcoin is a very intriguing topic right now, whether you agree with it or not. Every thread about it seems to go multiple pages and spurs intense debate, which is the point of a message board IMO. Being that it is a novel concept, not many people are familiar with it, and as these threads have illustrated people have become intrigued with it.

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.....

No shite? That's quite a repertoire, male model and financial guru.
