Uh oh. It's gonna be hard for Wiki to recover from this obvious blunder. But it will be interesting to see how much spin he gets on the ball.

Let's analyze the facts:

I made no qualifications in my initial statement about Facebook and their model for accepting users. I simply said that Facebook didn't have a billion users at its inception. That they chose to slowly grow the network by allowing new users was a business decision. It is actually irrelevant to my point, though.

But even if we accept the moving of the goal posts (which, by the way, is a common tactic used by that moron), he still fricking lied.

So that the goal posts can't be moved later on: What would it take for bitcoin to be a success, in your opinion?

Oh wait, I already asked you this and you said it would require a major business accepting it. So then I pointed out that reddit, the 53rd most popular web site in the US accepted it, and you dismissed that as not major enough.

So then I pointed out that WordPress, the 21st most popular web site in the WORLD accepted it, and you dismissed that as well.

You like to move the goal posts too.
