I remember feeling really stupid for not investing in it. That Wiki guy was a huge supporter of it.

Probably got hammered by the SEC for pumping up his profits by getting people here to buy

According to the Google machine bitcoin is currently $612.91/bitcoin. I imagine it still has its uses for international and/or illicit commerce over the internet. I think that wiki guy liked it because he is an anarchist at heart. At least that was my impression.

Bitcoin is still a thing on the black market. Wiki dropped off the face of the earth.

ETA:

Wiki was tGOAT troll. His "What's wrong with watching gay porn" threads rustled many a Jimmy. Who cares if he was being honest.

You can still use it to buy drugs. And wiki wasn't just "the bit coin guy", he also educated us on polygamy and general anarchy. Bit of a Renaissance man.

I think Wiki probably died IRL. I don't think he would've suddenly left the board for any other reason.

Wiki tiger probably jumped off a cliff. He was pumping it pretty hard.

I know a guy that puts Bitcoin ATM's at bars and nets 30 large/month off of them. Who knew those existed.

There are quite a few people here that nobody knows IRL. You have to wonder how many missing posters are gone for that reason.

Bitcoin is doing just fine with the current value over $600 per coin

its up over $200 since the start of 2016

Bitcoin isn't going away, folks.

In a world of fiat currencies manipulated by central banks, bitcoin's growth is inevitable.

I would like to think he just up and decided that he was done with us assholes and walked off into the night.

Seems much more mythic than simply having a heart attack.

If they can just crack the code of all the whatever-you-call-it just stealing all of your shite at random, they might really be on to something.
