Thanks, that's interesting. The chrisltd blog is from 2015, so I did wonder if some of it might be out of date by now. AFAICS (which I didn't notice at first) sharingbuttons has a slightly different FB URL, which may not give an e

Ah, sorry if that came across as directed at you specifically. It was more just about the 'cultishness' around Bitcoin that I think marks it out as somewhat different to regular currencies.
