Funny how any pro-bitcoin comment immediately attracts downvotes. I'm considering posting opposite of what I think about bitcoin to get those sweet, sweet upvotes. :-)

Meta: but this is probably one of the rules I've broken most frequently.

Most times not because I was downvoted (and then only to ask for an explanation IIRC) but because it seems like people are misunderstanding or IMO abusing the downvote feature.

If your implementation of "posting opposite" were to include evidence, analysis, or other than blind assertion, perhaps those upvotes would flow.
