OP needs to be banned and blacklisted from bitcoin.
This post and the BTCJam post are just ridiculous.

But really what he did and what his intentions seem to be fits almost perfectly as digital vandalism against Ripple. Except that the actual vandalism/damage to the Ripple system was non-existant. If someone cons a bunch of newbs into publishing their bitcoin secret keys that doesn't damage bitcoin or cryptography or prove any big flaw in either; it just shows newbs (and others) are gullible and can be conned. The only real damage (beyond those conned) is the misinformation. He (and others) are just using this as an excuse to spread more misinformation like this statement: What about people losing their bitstamp BTC? That's the damage I was thinking of when I wrote that. He claims he was not the one who ended up redeeming peoples bitstamp BTC, but that he just set in motion events that enabled people to effectively lose their bitstamp BTC. By lose, I mean have them replaced by TradeFortress BTC.

The measures that Japan would have to take being the 3rd largest economy in the world would be unprecedented. None of those examples compare to Japan. 1. Print money 2. Notice economy improve 3. Ignore "correlation ≠ causation" 4. Print more money Which of those steps is unprecedented? Or is it just a matter of scale? If that's all you're saying, I agree. This has the potential to be the worst economic meltdown in history. I just think there's a huge gap between them printing lots of money in order to inflate their currency and actually reaching hyperinflation. It's difficult for them to inflate the yen in general. The amount of yen that would need to be printed to reach hyperinflation would just be enormous.

Also, 14 year olds should probably have other hobbies than bitcoin scamming.

Agreed. I'm surprised you can't buy casascius coins.
Probably has to do with the fact that he started wholesaling them exclusively now, and no one has gotten their shit together enough to establish a good enough dealership for the US market yet.

They can barely inflate it with their monetary policy.
Policies can (and do, surprisingly often) change. True, but it would take some unprecedented policy to even come close.

I remember when I first saw that picture. I had a friend who would sit in a wood paneled basement smoking and playing mmos. He wasn't fat like this guy, but we all found the comparison quite funny at the time.

I think about this a lot. I think there is a lot of potential here.
