I don't think we hate Wiki. I know I don't. I don't understand his reasoning but that sure isn't hate. I think we actually enjoy the back and forth banter about the viability of bitcoin. Most of us aren't on his side of the table. That makes for interesting discussion imo.

I enjoy the back and forth with most of you as well. Some of y'all are clearly more interested in learning about it than others, but I even enjoy the banter with those of you that like to take quick and easy jabs.

These threads have caused me to do more research than I would have likely done normally, which is a good thing.

The sad thing about these threads, however, is that there is so much concentration on bitcoin specifically and not on the concept in general. And even though I've stated many times that bitcoin itself may fail but that a similar technology will eventually succeed, I am quite certain that if bitcoin itself ever does fail that you are all waiting for an "I told you so" moment.

That's ok though. Because 20 years from now when a crypto-currency is the norm throughout the world, y'all are going to think back to these threads and be like, "Hmmm, that guy Wiki was actually on to something..."
