yeah but bitcoiners jump directly from "bitcoin exists" to "techno-utopia," as if it's a) a guaranteed outcome, b) only possible through the glory of bitcoin

I like how the teacher has the same exact handwriting as the kid

edit: AHAHAHAHAH beaten by the bitspergs themselves no less

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2ocsdh/common_guys_the_ten_year_old_son_speech_draft_on/

quote:

Common guys, the 'ten year old son speech draft' on the front page is clearly fake. Let me conduct a little handwriting forensics for you. (self.Bitcoin)

submitted 2 hours ago * by Willidungl

Both the text and the 'teacher's comment' were obviously written by the same person.

Most letters including 'e', 'a', 't', 'n', 'i', 'o' and 'I', as well as '!' look exactly the same;

general attributes of the handwriting like size and proportions are exactly the same;

the execution of single letters (pen lifts, consistency) and their discrete positioning is exactly the same;

and lastly the context is the most conspicuous clue - a ten year old writing about technological advancements and the pseudonymous person Nick Szabo?

I'd say Occam's razor slices this little dream in half.

Although he attempted to mislead through differences in the letters 'B' and 'y' and compressed letter spacing, it could not be any more obvious that the text was written by an adult, unsuccessfully trying to sound like a child.

Supporting Bitcoin is great, but sometimes the gullibility in this subreddit is both astounding and somewhat disillusioning.

Edit: Sorry about the 'common' mistake in the title, I bow my head in shame. Thanks for the gold!

i didn't read the doc, are they really trying to say inaba isn't josh, or just that when he's posting as "inaba" he is not representing bfl

i mean it's lol either way but

i mean it's lol either way but

way back when in like 2011 when he got hired by bfl he did a long rear end post about the fact that he now had bfl_josh on bitcointalk in addition of inaba, and that nothing inaba said should be construed as being said on behalf of bfl

i guess the aim was to still trash talk from one account while being more polite on the other but that lasted like 3 days

the crazy look does kind of remind me of the genius that camped outside of mtgox, demanding his butts back and making krapeles so uncomfortable that gox moved their operations

it's not (which is why i specifically avoided using the word) but the character is there.

the point of thread is to laugh at stupid bitcoin poo poo which nicsho certainly falls under at this point but i can kinda see where fckgw is coming from. nicsho is just a dumbass, he's not actually important to any of this.
