Maybe if you have been chasing or watching imaginary nazis in computer games, movies and on the 'news' in the last four years perhaps?

If a claim is without any evidence and has no substance, it can be easily dismissed and ignored.

Not every silly, baseless conspiracy theory has an immediate association with the 'far-right' or with 'Christian, white supremacists' and especially not this one.

As long as they have zero evidence and they are unable to substantiate it, who cares? We already know bitcoin has failed being a peer-to-peer electronic cash system and it is still useless as a currency.
