Nobody, not even Americans, reads Time magazine anymore so it doesn´t really matter. Was the operation sold for 50 cents or was it Newsweek, another useless rag ?

When Bitcoin comes of age, they'll have different thickness of fiat for the different classes of people in the U.S., too.

Many stories are not interesting for most people outside the U.S. - the same applies to New York Times  vs. Intl. New York Times

Like, if you wanted to buy a house in Aswan, any advertising pointed at Americans or Europeans shows the house for sale by a realtor at a hundred times (greatly inflated) the cost that the seller would sell to a fellow Egyptian.

This is absolutely normal. Most magazines which sell in different countries tailor their content to each market. American magazine Car and Driver has a Spanish, a Chinese and a Middle East edition. All with localized contents and covers.

Thank you for being the first person making sense in this thread. It's no secret that there are different versions of TIME or other magazines.
