I've never seen a forum that has a restriction on new posters. Just serves to turn people off I'd think.

BitcoinTalk must think they're really that special

I don't quite know how to respond to this, being that it is a Bruce Wagner situation.

Knowing what most of us know about Bruce Wager, well, he is an opportunist.
If he was in fact using Bitfloor, then his claim definately has validity.

But, being the opportunist that he is, I think he may simply be using a known situation to procrastinate, or give him further excuses as to why he is unable to do something.

Bruce claims to be the most famous person in Bitcoin and a bitcoin expert, but if you have ever taken the time to listen to one of his interviews or watch his old bitcointv videos, it's quickly revealed that he is a complete idiot and knows far less than he would like to admit.

As I said, he is an opportunist and he will throw himself into the current mix of recent events just to become a part of them or to play a victim's role in it all.

Bruce Wagner can not be trusted.

Unfortunately, Bitcoin is still too complicated to grasp for most people, and too dangerous. They're not security experts, they're mostly dumb fucks (pardon the french) when it comes to securing their data. We can't blame them, the Average Joe is just not into this kind of stuff.

I think Bitcoin has to evolve a bit more (in terms of client usability, and ease of securing your money) before it's suitable to be picked up by the masses.
