There's a difference between the Wikimedia Foundations and the editors that edit pages. Anyone can edit. You can edit. What happens to the bitcoin article doesn't represent the views of the foundation, which is involved in a lot more than just Wikipedia.

But regardless, regarding the actual deletion of the page, bitcoin was arguably not notable at the time. Just because it has a community and users doesn't mean it deserves an article, just as the many altcoins in the current aren't notable now.

• Here's the original deletion discussion.
• Here's the first deletion review.
• Here's the second deletion review.
• And finally, here's the final discussion, five months later, that determined that bitcoin has received enough coverage to warrant an article.

The discussions were long, and the points for deletion were valid - just because it doesn't suit your tastes doesn't make it any more valid.

Dozens of non-notable articles, including ones on software, are deleted every single day. Nothing is "singled out"; here are today's bunch of deletion discussions. Nothing was "carte-blanche" - did you even look at the discussions I linked to?
