No one's addresses were stolen from. Nothing was stolen, only created. System worked as deployed, who's "fault" is that. No victim, no crime... only tort, which fails. Aggress that at own riisk. 10% inflation is nothing. Quit raging and have a nice day. Or go argue that "Copyright violation" is theft, and that "Taxes" aren't theft, too, lol. Thieves... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ed/Act_of_theft.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DvLgjflW0AAgpib.jpg Your Friends... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/VCY_CG_CB_CV_cent_grp_12... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_Bank ;)

Let's see... 'misguided' people want to 'aggress' against... to interfere with the right

In addition wishing interfering with the right of people to follow and utilize the code of the coin in a free market (first two jpg's excepted)... Next you are going to say Satoshi spending even 1 Euro worth of their 1M BTC (effictively the same interested party inflationary premine since inception, utxo unto themself)... is stealing, or how the hodling of it washed out 0.05% of the value against some grand moral coin belief and authority.

2.1 million bitcoins at $4000

Today 2.1M BTC is roughly $7.7B, which is @ today's BTC mktcap ~= 12% ~= irrelavant @ $1T all crypto mktcap (~$650B ath + $350B) = 1% = laughable @ future crypto mktcap (fraction of earthcap) = meaningless $8B is nothing in context. But quit twisting, it was actually ~2M *BTCP* not BTC, which upon article was somewhere in the $1 to $5 range, and some had and was being exchanged out, versus being held for whatever future market leading win BTCP proposed, so in fact an even more laughably moot %. How much does crypto go up / down in 1w 1m 1y? How many lost, stolen, premined, scammed, crooked, etc coins, tokens, derivatives and quanta are in the entire cryptospace... ~50% ... or more? How many $B's do Governments literally steal at gunpoint and spend on garbage? This BTCP news is nothing in any relavant context. 2M BTCP... be happy that it might be in the hands of a crypto anarchist that might use it for something interesting therein.

millions in value were stolen from all btc holders

No, BTCP is at subject, not BTC. No coin address was compromised and stolen from, no user or computer forcibly opened, no double spend or replay, there was no theft, no one can call it that. They didn't even take from some standalone unallocated bucket that doesn't even exist in Satoshi blockchain model. All it appears was mined their own coins into existance as all miners compete in the free market to do. You're raging about a tort, something that supposedly affected the little aspie rager boy commune you live in, that someone might have owed you a dutiful fuck, but broke their duty and didn't give you a single caring one, or simply one upped you in the mining contest. There's a difference. With slim chances of that argument prevailing in a crypto-anarchic / an-cap context. Communal, or even whatever forceful democratic fake law contexts, more likely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tort As in articles... the extra happened before BTCP went live, so everyone had the chance to verify and evaluate the actual true prospectus in the code and coin from their own nodes at startup... but they all *failed* to do that for ages till the article. So they ended up overvaluing their acquisitions by 10%, and or not selling their inheritance while it was 100x plus over value, and or whatever else. Their fault, not whodunit's. And now they want compensated for their own mistake, and by force upon others, even upon innocents... lol. Next time... build, review, audit, educate, participate, and use coins better. Still early days, obviously. The End.

I didn't twist anything. I used BTC as an example to show what 'only' 10% of THEFT can look like. What about "only 10%" inflation of the dollar supply? How much THEFT would that be?

The issue is as the users decide. Some alt coins are designed with inflation built in, some with deflation, some with intention for stability. When one particular construct is hacked outside of its foundation intention that can of course be argued to be theft, at the very least "change of contract", and although some would say "just a bug bounty", others might take significant exception to said bounty. All these early years events are demonstrating interesting exceptions, events, deltas to intentions which here and there motivate further action, new coins etc. In principle "money inflation", be it 10% or any %, or money deflation, ought be clear at foundation of any coin, and due to compounding de/in flation, is inherently difficult for much of "educated" population to properly comprehend the consequences, thus comes across as generally deceptive. Can a coin in/de flate based purely on population head count, or some other "stable" metric?
