Why would anyone pay attention to something awful anyway. I mean why even pay attention to some awful shit.
The name alone is typical of the negative sinister low-life mentality fueled by misinterpretations of Luciferianism ...

I think it's now fair to say that the entire SA "group" is nothing more than a bunch of paid shills. I don’t know who they work for, but it’s obvious they have an agenda.
they have threads like this:https://cdn.anonfiles.com/1355684810821.png
It's pretty obvious they have an agenda, and are funded by *something* to hit their goals.
SA might be a lot closer to the fiat banking industry htan thought before ..
If they want to keep it out of the public eye as much as Possible then why not REMOVE ALL TRACES OF IT from the LARGEST encyclopedia on earth
See no evil, hear no evil... Don't rattle a bees nest SA.... You may not like the result.
Perhaps you can post it on UpTweet and it will be the first thing to ever get UpTweeted?
Either way it's starting to go from sad, to very very annoying...
lol... I agree with you but there's no need to get so angry and frustrated, because that's exactly the response they want from you. They're playing a childrens game and the way to win is to be the more mature one. There's no need to "fight" them or get angry about this, the way of the wise will win in the end, and we wont need to do anything. Just let bitcoin take its natural course and eventually it will be impossible for them to fight against it. I agree with casascius here, we need to simply play the waiting game and try again in a few months. Partaking in a childish edit war will solve nothing. Let them have their "win" here and now, it means absolutely nothing.

They attack without reason, and will do anything to have it their "way".
Guess what you moronic, narcissistic, degenerate excuse for scum.
YOU CAN'T HAVE IT YOUR WAY.
My Bitcoins are MINE, and you will never have your "way" with them... How much does that piss you tree-swinging monkeys off? That you can’t control & manipulate Bitcoin like all the other “systems” that your handlers have "blessed" us with? Does it piss you off that people are all now collectively starting to awaken to the invisible chains that you stupid neanderthals gleefully and voluntarily put on each and every single day.
Or are you all just a bunch of sad degenerate nerds looking to ruin other peoples work, because you lack any sense of creativity or direction yourselves.

I put my opinion on the talk page for why bitcoin should be included. A lot of the people arguing against seemed to be making up requirements or just had a very poor understanding of what bitcoin is. They're on the wrong side of history.
Totally true. People just have a very poor understanding of cryptography, so bitcoin is like "some kind of scam" to them...
First they ignore you
then they laugh at you
then they fight you
then you win

then you win
so we fight now...
When the drug dealer or child pornographer uses BTC to buy a loaf of bread and the baker of that bread then uses BTC to buy drugs or kiddie porn, then BTC will be a currency rather than just a proxy for fiat currencies.
You must be really old. No one pays for porn any more
Seriously, though, what about the people who earn Bitcoin using their web business, and then pay their software developers, and domain and VPS hosts with Bitcoin, and then those domain and VPS hosts use Bitcoin to buy their server hardware? Does that (which already happens) make BTC a currency?thus, a thought experiment on the ultimate test of "moneyness": if you were to be randomly dropped off in one of Ghana, Iceland, Mexico, Uruguay, Hong Kong, Estonia, or Australia, and you weren't allowed to carry USD, EUR, or PMs, where would a wallet full of Bitcoin rank on the list of "immediately useful money" versus all other state-sponsored currencies? Pretty damn high, I reckon.
Your wallet full of bitcoin would be about as useful as this dude's: http://youtu.be/H9jC0TP-Yug
It'd be a proxy for real money and I don't think this guy would make it too far in Ghana ("ugh... I can't even get a 4G signal!"), or even Mexico for that matter.
Every currency in that example, including Bitcoin, would need to be exchanged to the local currency to be useful. I think the point is that it would be easier to trade it for local currency, or barter with it directly, than try to convince some random bank to accept to trade your suspicious foreign paper into local money.

I was surprised to see so much bitterness and resentment towards bitcoin, however. I don't know why someone could get so worked up - if you think it will fail or don't want to use it then you're completely free to not use it (unlike other currencies). I guess the hate could be a good sign though:
First they ignore you
then they laugh at you
then they fight you
then you win
I guess we're somewhere between steps 2 and 3 right now.

It would be pretty damned useless in many parts of Australia, too - only about 25% of Australia's land mass has terrestrial mobile phone coverage.

Yep, saw that, this time as Decentralized

I loved reading this recent exchange on the discussion page:
Comment: It's about as much of a currency as kids exchanging marbles within their circle of friends for candy.
In reality any currency is a group of people exchanging the units of that currency between themselves. If the marbles were really rare and they all agreed to use them as a common medium of exchange, the marbles would become a currency. The main difference between any two currencies is the size of the group of people who utilize the currencies. At what point does it go from just being a "group of friends" to a legitimate widely used currency? It would be very easy to argue that bitcoin is certainly a "legitimate" currency in that sense, because it's used by hundreds of thousands of people, maybe even millions of people, from all around the world. It's a global currency used to facilitate international exchange... if that doesn't qualify as a currency then I don't know what does. Oh right it has to be Government backed. Comment: It's about as much of a currency as kids exchanging marbles within their circle of friends for candy.
If one defines a key criteria for considering a currency "strong" and "serious" as its geographical reach, Bitcoin is already in the top tier for sure, with USD and EUR and Precious Metals. Analyzed this way, it's a good rebuttal too the "circle of friends" argument, given that I'm sure no bartering instrument ever concocted by a group of friends is owned and exchanged in every country from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.

Why does the entry say that the highest value coin is 1 and the highest value bank-note is 1? There are no "official" coins or notes and if you're going to include unofficial ones then Mike Caldwell produces coins of a much higher value than 1 BTC.
I like how Talk page changed over past few days. Massive Bitcoin discussion war. @
No one reads that article anyways, and who cares if it meets some arbitrary definition or not?
If bitcoin works, then it will be used, if it does not, then it will die.

If putting Bitcoin there results in people flocking to fight for the cause of removing it, then strategy wise, I would just leave it alone and try again in 6 or 12 months when Bitcoin is that much bigger and more well known.
Yeah, it's actually pretty funny because on the Talk page it looks like this whole discussion first played out with the same results in May/June 2011...

+1
While it's nice when we make it on there, or as a community work to meet the "requirements" that would get us onto Wikipedia, edit wars are pointless and are at best harmful.
I could see that list of currencies getting nominated for deletion and getting successfully deleted simply due to the volatile nature of the exchange rate information it lists. Lists of highly volatile figures are already unfavored because it's data with a short shelf life, detracts from Wikipedia as a whole, and that's before factoring in a paparazzi interested in promoting Bitcoin. The more we edit war for its inclusion, the more negative attention it will attract, and the more likely the whole list soon won't exist at all.
