You will not believe this! After I had only mentioned "peer-to-peer cash" to an acquaintance on facebook as a joke - and they curiously replied with Paypal and Venmo - it seemed suspicious to me what could be found on the Internet with this keyword. And lo and behold, I found an (un)ordinary Wikipedia page! What's the (un)ordinary thing? No cash is mentioned! Neither electronic nor nonelectronic. Yes, you read correct: No mentioning of Bitcoin. The only hint is found in the "talk" whether to add information to it being from beginning 2020. However, here is the best of it. The article defines "Peer-to-peer transactions (also referred to as person-to-person transactions, P2P transactions, or P2P payments) are electronic money transfers made from one person to another through an intermediary, [..]" ISN'T THAT FUNNY!?! How can something be peer-to-peer when there is an intermediary? Isn't that the whole point with p2p?! I assume you will believe this to be a fake after you visit this page today, x days later. Please calculate x for yourself and add screenshots to your comments from what you see differently. Here it was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer_transaction If you like to edit Wikipedia, please do. I suppose you have to start there at the big bang and then go back a few years so the article doesn't need to be completely replaced. LOL And beware maximalists. Actually, I was tempted to find a chamber that somehow revolved around mainstream myths. Since I found nothing, I just started one with https://noise.cash/n/mainstreamobservations Since almost no one would have seen this there, the first thing there is a reference to the post here. #BitcoinCash

The most effective way of manipulation is to give a false meaning to words and spread it.
Well, that definition was probably encoded before bitcoin came into existence. Then again, that is not entirely correct
