Sorry, but the whole bitcoin thing is so Web2.0 .bomb that I find it hard to care.
People should realize they don't HAVE to always have an opinion ready... and that if they don't know enough about a subject, they should just look into it before judging.

I can literally not see a single way how Bitcoin would be defined as 'Web2.0'.

"The Register" prides itself in being the king of snark. Every article is written with that "raised-eyebrow-sneer" that comes from an aloof and emotionally inept web 2.0 'geek' trying to be edgy. They hate most things, it seems. I wouldn't put too much stock into their coverage of bitcoin or anything else, for that matter.
