:Hi, {{U|Earl King Jr.}}. I see that you failed to address any from the above points, actually, you even failed to discuss the issue. You only mentioned, "denying that hacking has been a big issue", while ignoring that theft is a subject of the fourth paragraph of the lead section as mentioned above. In addition to that, you failed to [[WP:AGF]]. [[User:Ladislav Mecir|Ladislav Mecir]] ([[User talk:Ladislav Mecir|talk]]) 06:30, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Yes but it is you that is removing information from the article and perhaps sugar coating it that way because you perhaps are conflicted here. Also you did lie in your edit summary. Hacking and theft is a big deal. Your involvement is how big in these issues? Conflict of interest could preclude you from editing.

Example: "I installed bitcoin software, downloaded the bitcoin blockchain, and received 1 bitcoin after giving my bitcoin address to my employer. I received 0.03 bitcoins as a tip. Maybe I'll sell my bitcoins on a bitcoin exchange."
Bitcoin was one of the Engineering and technology good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

The fifth paragraph of the lead section shall be deleted
Here is why:
Per WP:MOS, "...newly added information does not automatically always qualify as important enough for the lead. Information newly added to the article should preferably be placed in the most appropriate section or sections."
The cited source explicitly states that the newly mentioned theft was not as important as the Mt. Gox theft in 2014.
The newly mentioned theft, while it may be notable enough for news, is not important enough for the lead section of the article, because the article subject is bitcoin, not theft.
The text of the fifth paragraph violates the copyright of the cited source.
The text of the fifth paragraph is contradicting the fourth paragraph, where theft is mentioned, stating that "theft ... has also been an issue for bitcoin users", which makes no sense in the context. Ladislav Mecir (talk) 04:48, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You appear to have a major conflict of interest with your involvement in the subject here. Also giving a false edit summary while reverting is not good. Since you are a public person in regard to this subject as anyone can see by Googling of your name and the subject extra caution is needed. Removing the information from a major source and denying that hacking has been a big issue and is completely worthy of lead mention makes me think you are trying to white wash the information in the article in a promotional way.
