Oh no, someone is wrong on the internet. It must be a big conspiracy to bring down Bitcoin by overstating the miniscule amount of money that&#x27;s paid for clickvertising, because there&#x27;s no way a math error could creep into a fluff article. Obviously the foes of Bitcoin will never rest until they have made us associate it with homelessness. Or something.<p>This exemplifies what&#x27;s wrong with the cult mentality surrounding Bitcoin; what was probably a simple error is recast (absent evidence) as a deliberate untruth, despite the fact that the story was basically positive reporting about Bitcoin.

I take it that &#x27;BitCoinTapper&#x27; is really just a way of collecting human click entropy to feed into a click fraud engine?
