Bitcoiners can’t take a joke; get very, very mad at funny computer man.
Meet Patrick O’Rourke
He’s a tech “journalist” for Canada.com. I write “journalist” in quotations because it’s obvious he’s just a shill for the Fed, trying to spread FUD about the revolution known as Bitcoin.
You see, what our little narc friend here did was write a hit piece on bitcoins. A hit piece so scathing, so scandalous that it got Reddit in a a full on panty twist. Clocking in at a massive 250 words, this piece of filth got so much sand in Reddit’s collective vagina that they set out to destroy this very handsome and very very attractive man’s young career.
I considered not reposting what he said here for fear of actually contributing to this farce, but for the sake of attempting to educate my audience I felt I had too. Here’s what he had the nerve to say:
Bitcoin mining involves creating Frankenstein-like computers
That’s right, in his feeble little mind he thought it was “A-OK” to make fun of mining rigs that look like they were built by a washing machine full of garbage. He even sourced images from this very website under the guise of something he calls “comedy”. No thank you, Mr. O’Rourke.
Reddit, being the brave souls that they are, took to arms and sought to right this obvious injustice by posting to their own echo chamber:
The comments all have the battle cry of the modern Bitcoin warrior.
Reddit certainly knocked this chump down a peg or two with the MEGA TYPO BURN! (they really do love finding any misspellings or typos)
They even took to twitter to publicly shame him. SO BRAVE!

Eventually someone snitched and told Mr. O’Rourke that there was a thread about him on Reddit. He came into the thread and politely asked for anyone to contact him and give them “their side of the story”. A clever ruse indeed to infiltrate the Bitcoin community. Reddit had to hand him the ultimate punishment, the evil Shadow Ban!
Basically they canned his account but not in a way where would immediately know. Because he might get mad and write stuff about Reddit or something.

Absolutely outstanding conduct, Reddit! Way to show the world to NOT use Bitcoin in any way possible.
P.S. Google Chrome lists “bitchiness” as a spelling suggestion for Bitcoin. Not only does Chrome not have that word in its dictionary… it.. well you know.

This article sucks almost as badly as the shit O’Rourke wrote.

Bitcoiners are on the same level as ‘Bronies’… they just love telling you about their little subculture and if you call them on their BS you get abused or told that you ‘just dont understand’.
