Title: GAME: Propaganda Infographic - Count The Mistakes!
Post by: lorix on March 04, 2014, 07:23:09 AM
Check out this infographic that was linked in a NEWS.COM.AU article posted today. Some of it is right but the rest of it.... hmmm.

Game for the day - How many mistakes/inaccuracies/hyperbola can you count on this one image? Some are obvious, others are harder to spot.

this suggest a correlation between the value of bitcoin and silkroad.
I think it s a wrong assumption because:
when silk roads closed we get down 30% but only for a day. Then the 20x rally begins and we get arround 10% a day for a month or something.

For 2011 the X3 in value was due to a big media coverage probably not silkroad.

not saying it is not linked but certainly not as this graphic suggest.
my 2 cents

The entire thing is aspirational bs.

Silk Road, for the record, was mostly a joke (http://trilema.com/2013/what-the-drug-trade-is-how-the-drug-trade-works-and-why-silk-road-didnt-work-and-didnt-matter/). It never acquired any significant economic power, either in USD or BTC, and generally didn't count for much (http://trilema.com/2013/i-was-right-you-were-wrong-again-feel-the-burn/) in any practical sense.

The most glaring one I saw was the year they said Bitcoin was first traded - 2006 ffs!!

Some people have no idea.

Oh that graphic is way off.

* Silk Road probably did $300-$400 Billion of revenue per year.
* Hit men can easily be found on the Dark Webs, usually for about $15-$30 depending if you have a coupon or not.
* They didn't mention child slave labor. I routinely hire 11 year old boys from Canada to mow my lawn.
