Why are we posting faked/photoshop images of BTC on spotify? You know that was a fake, right?

Indeed Smiley as fake as BTC is dead claim.

The use of disinformation to promote or discredit BTC proponents has grown to a fever pitch.

A dose of reality helps us remain vigilant to benefit from those sensational claims.

Smiley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinformation

"Disinformation is intentionally false or inaccurate information that is spread deliberately. It is an act of deception and false statements to convince someone of untruth. Disinformation should not be confused with misinformation, information that is unintentionally false.

Unlike traditional propaganda techniques designed to engage emotional support, disinformation is designed to manipulate the audience at the rational level by either discrediting conflicting information or supporting false conclusions. A common disinformation tactic is to mix some truth and observation with false conclusions and lies, or to reveal part of the truth while presenting it as the whole (a limited hangout)."
