> Lets just think about how many coins have been "stolen". Those are all available to crap all over your p2p blockchain forum.

In a Bitcoin economy those are also available to spend on useful things, just like money. Put it this way: would rich trolls spend significant cash to troll you? I don't think so - they'd buy valuable things with their money for themselves instead.

"Troll" is an ambiguous wprd here. The question is whether anyone would spend significant amounts of money to control what gets upvoted and what doesn't. Given Reddit's recent $50M round, I'm hesitant to say the answer is no.
