Pretty crazy story, even if its not about bitcoins.

On some metaphorical level, the rapid painful inflation which he felt no doubt mirrors what is likely to happen to bitcoin in the future, but I just chose it because it was the craziest story from a respectable-sounding URL on fark at the moment.

I'm glad I don't upvote until after I've clicked comments and link both...

Anyway, people are talking a lot about BitCoin because it neat! Pardon the language, but doesn't it just feel pretty damn cyberpunk? I get a small Gibson-shiver when messing around with it or reading about who the owner might be. It is just cool.

Yeah, Bitcoin isn't a good payment system but viewed as cypherpunk performance art it's totally winning.

I am truly sorry for this. I am just running an experiment to see whether there really are people (or bots) upvoting bitcoin articles without even looking at 'em.

I know, I'm a bad person. Mods, please feel free to fine me ten thousand karma for general dickishness.

Everybody loves bitcoin
