    Thought it be good to start a thread collecting articles both singing the praises or disembowelling these new fangled crypto currencies.
    I'll start off with this hit piece by the 'tabloid' financial news service Business Insider:

    Edited spelling errors.

    I thought the article was supposed to be about Bitcoins, not about our current political system.

    Mike Maloney doesn't understand Bitcoin.
    That's good enough for me to invest in it!

    Those Bitcoin Wierdos Might Just Be Right.

    For those who don't know, the Spectator is a UK, Tory-centric printed publiction. James Delingpole writes for several newspapers and regularly takes a swipe at most greenist/leftist/warmist subjects.

    I found the comments interesting. I wouldn't have guessed that the Spectator's audience was quite so switched on to what's going on outside the MSM. Or, on reflection, maybe I shouldn't be at all surprised?

    Trusting politicians (bought and sold by corporations) and banksters is weird.
