SomethingAwful loves Bitcoin

[Mike Jones]

I was talking to my nephew about Bitcoins and he told me he heard about it but didn't know much. He emailed me this.

There was a drama about SA last year, along with payed trolling accusations against their admin.

Pretty hilarious.  
Something like "Something Awful is the Enemy of Bitcoin"

[DeathAndTaxes]

What about a bitcoin bank or exchange developed, hosted and managed by goons?

All savings and transactions secured against impropriety by goons insatiable desire to act smug about doing a better job than actual Bitcoin supporters

  Slowly ...

thanks for the link atlas, er ... mike.

isn't it ironic that 54 pages of comments later and it still has them enthralled?

LMAO!!! These guys are hilarious!

Some comments about the BTC-e hack:

"Fairly certain that bitcoin supporters would view the vaguest hint of competence as a sure sign that the exchange is run by the "system" and cannot be trusted. Surely better to trust hopeless morons that do not have the faintest idea what they're doing, that way you can be sure the gov'nment is not trying to get in on the precious bitcoin racket.

"I was a bit surprised to see that people were pumping bitcoins into an exchange that was actively being hacked right now, but clearly I shouldn't have been. There seem to be no depths of stupidity that these people won't stoop to. " - Qwertycoatl Jul 31, 2012 08:05 Post


and the Bitcoinica hack:

"If Zhou posts a picture of the hacker, and it's just himself with a huge fake moustache, he might become my favourite internet person ever. " - Dex    Jul 30, 2012 00:25 Post

Atlas, what is your obsession with pretending to be older gentlemen? Last time it was an old guy who had a ranch of horses. You're really pathetic.

If you're talking to me, you've mistaken me for somebody else.

Aw, who gives a fuck. Just because MNW has a gay Atlas fetsh doesn't mean we need to worry about it as long as "Atlas" (or just an innocent bystander/newcomer) is posting constructively and not trolling the fuck out of everyone with his bullshit propaganda.

Last year's thread ran to over 500 pages.  It was Something Awful which dug up the information about Bruce Wagner and the Bold Funding fraud.

And got Atlas to admit he enjoys rough sex with a middle school teacher.

And found Bruce Wagner's old Thai forum posts where he promotes having sex with young boys.

My favorite posts are the ones about Loganschrye. They always crack me up.

Cosby Coin was pretty funny.  So was the whole "Lowtax is a Freemason and Something Awful is being paid to attack Bitcoin" thing.

These people are an infinite loop of disaster.

My favorite quote from that thread.

[BadBear]

That thread was created right around the time the rally from $5 started. They must've bought in  .

Mike Jones is actually the RL name of a WWE wrestler. Somehow I don't think Atlas would last in a cage match.

[evolve]

This is around their third megathread about bitcoins since last years cosbyhack. We still have some of their members hanging around this forum too.  The first thread was fucking hilarious, all of the others have been mostly rehashes of the same stuff from the first thread (Bruce, atlas,and libertarian bashing), and fairly boring.
