Thanks everyone for the feedback.
I'm not sure if sure if either 'Shill' or 'MC' [MasterCard] are bitcoin specific enough to warrant inclusion in the list, but am open minded to the suggestion if others disagree.

... The inside job only points at ONE person IMHO. Mark Karpeles.
It seems strange that Mark should come out, before the news story, and suggest that their on the trail of the thief and people may get their bitcoins back, if he's the thief and about to be caught and knows there are no coins to be found. Surely he's not that much of a sociopath?

I still dont really understand what a fork is  'Hard Fork' When there are a sufficient number of bitcoin clients on the network that disagree on the rules about how blocks are created and recorded in the blockchain. It leads to a split in the chain, one set of bitcoin clients follow one branch and another set follows the other. To fix hard forks some action must be taken by us.

Science and spirituality are two different realms. You cannot prove love, God, or spirit. If your intuition doesn't tell you that science is not necessarily the ultimate truth, then there is little I can do to convince you otherwise, and that is ok.
My intuition tells me that science is the only path to the truth. So where does that get us? Nowhere. Again this demonstrates the importance of evidence. although for entertainment purposes, I suggest you check out the movie "what the bleep do we know?"
Yes, I've seen it. A lot of good science interspersed with pseudo-science inorder to mezmorize the gullible.

I say souls do exist and that reality manifests itself on multiple planes of existence simultaneously. For example, love is real, but also may be expressed in the physical domain by neurons firing in the brain.
Evidence is everything, without evidence all you have is opinion. There will always be someone with an opposite opinion to yours. The sum of all opinions is zero, rendering them utterly worthless.

But I would disagree, as I believe consciousness is primary and does not originate from the physical domain.
Our 'minds', 'souls', 'spirit' and consciousness are all physical in nature. Thousands of years of research have shown that our brains comprise and produce our true selves. Souls and spirits do not exist. Our bodies run themselves. We know from cases of brain damage and the effects of psychoactive drugs, that our experiences are caused by physical chemistry acting on our physical neurones in our brains.

There will never be "spiritual machines" or true consciousness/awareness in a computer.
How will physical reality be able to distinguish between machines created by evolution and machines created by man in a lab?
