Pots, kettles, and all that...

You're just upset because Matt dredged up that Soylent thread that got you so worked up a while back.

I suppose the day over day decline was precipitous, but the decline of the bitcoin has occurred at a steady rate over the last year so I'm not sure how it is news. Don't think I've seen a chart that followed a straight line for quite so long. My advise, "don't get in front of that train"

Looks like the creator of Bitcoin has been identified:

The evidence in the articles is compelling
(Wired 'acknowledged that the trail of clues could be a hoax, but it added: "If Wright is seeking to fake his Nakamoto connection, his hoax would be practically as ambitious as Bitcoin itself." ')

Wired has been similarly convinced about other people in the past, however.

Edit. That evidence does look pretty clear, tho.

The virtual currency, which proponents hail as a potential alternative to mainstream money and critics dismiss as a fad or a haven for money-laundering, has fallen 44% since the start of the year and 85% from the record high of $1,165 it hit in early December 2013. In total, almost $11.3 billion in value has been lost since that peak.
Haven't look at this is awhile, but just saw bitcoin mentioned in a NYT article and it's currently at $1,600 — Wow!

Boy was I wrong about this... written back in 2013.

Now I'm wondering how to establish smallish positions in this, ethereum and Tezos.

Not sure about Ethereum...

This is a pretty good, albeit somewhat technical, article about how it Ethereum got hacked:

Ethereum was not really hacked, a contract written in ethereum was hacked, a contract with really poor security, amateurish really.

I read the highlights of an article the other day that bitcoin is forking. That doesn't sound too promising.
