It seems that detractors of Bitcoin will stop at nothing to try and discredit it. I often search for the last hour of results in Google to try and find the latest news about Bitcoin. Today I found this link:
http://financialsurvivalnetwork.com/2013/03/confessions-of-a-bitcoin-scammer/It was created by TruthNeverTold who seems to have issues with Bitcoin. He references another article:
http://nerdr.com/bitcoin-exchange-scam-bitcoins-are-worthless/The details provided are of course always vague, but they try to support the fact that the price on an exchange was manipulated. I find the article to be total nonsense and most likely totally fabricated.
I often see other results such as "Bitcoin Crash" in which the website operator obviously is just changing a small amount of content to get their article on the forking incident (or others) to appear more recent in Google.
It seems that since everything has been going so well for Bitcoin lately, that detractors must invent some "Fake Scams" to make the headlines and try and discredit it.
It would be interesting to see what other "Fake Scam" articles others have encountered.
It always bothered me that pro-bitcoiners with so much imagination would often miss the most simplest of explanations. When someone is holding bitcoin, they want good news about bitcoin to be heard. When someone knows bitcoin will be worth a lot later but didn't get to buy in cheap, they want bad news about bitcoin to be heard, until they can buy in.
As for the general topic of discrediting bitcoin, bitcoiners do that pretty well by themselves. If everyone here talked like Yifu Guo, we'd probably already be there by now. Instead, they all talk like dank.
