Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: Atruk on February 15, 2013, 12:50:05 AM and to start accepting bitcoin. ahaaaa Well, Conde Nast owns both Wired and Reddit as well as Ars Technica (some fairly positive coin coverage there)... The place you probably need to search for an apology is probably the story author. Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize?

Heh, that asshamster should go back to karma whoring on Slashdot. It's easy to put down new things. Knowing which new things will succeed takes wisdom and insight.

"At the height of its popularity, Bitcoin was trumpeted as a viable alternative currency for the internet age, a monetary system engineered to prevent theft, gaming, and criminalization. Then came the malware, the black market, the legal ambiguities and The Man. Today, you can't even use it to buy Facebook stock." Say huh? Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: iCEBREAKER on February 15, 2013, 05:23:24 AM What an idiot. Someday this poorly researched statement will be more infamous than Bill Gates' apocryphal "640K of memory is all that anybody with a computer would ever need" quote.

He didn't say "ever". He was talking about that particular point in time, and in a specific context.Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: redbeans2012 on February 15, 2013, 06:23:10 AM I believe this is the author. Maybe we can ask him how he feels now.

Then came the malware, the black market, the legal ambiguities and The Man. Today, you can't even use it to buy Facebook stock." Say huh? Say I have some bitcoin and I want to buy Facebook stock (not sure why, but just go with me here). How hard would it be, what is the easiest way to trade bitcoins for stock? How would that be any different if I was using Paypal or Venmo (never heard of it before, but apparently its the new thing)? Edit: OK, I looked at the venmo website. It is a centralized, dollar based electronic payment network only available in the US. Not really the same thing as Bitcoin, more like paypal with a nice phone app. Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: Lethn on February 15, 2013, 08:18:25 AM I'm sorry, but every time I see some moron ranting about Bitcoin and completely disregarding basic Math in their arguments I just smile, these people are no threat and they never will be.

Post by: Littleshop on February 15, 2013, 01:27:02 PM They have had a comeback article after the raise and fall article. www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/12/bitcoins-comeback/ The problem is that's actually an Ars article and it came before the latest episodes of Wired hatin' on the coin. That article was actually pretty good. The title is more the problem then the content. The article was published during some of the darkest days of bitcoin yet really does not paint bitcoin in a worse light then the current events suggested. I would welcome another Wired article about bitcoin but with a PROPER title. Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: Lethn on February 15, 2013, 01:34:55 PM I'd like to see some mathematical arguments against Bitcoin but so far all I've seen is hypothetical bullshit and problems that are easily fixed with common sense.
Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: n8rwJeTt8TrrLKPa55eU on February 15, 2013, 01:35:44 PM I look forward to the inevitable soon-to-come day when the circulation of Bitcoin Magazine exceeds that of Wired Magazine.
Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: QuantumQrack on February 15, 2013, 02:29:38 PM Author of the article is a moron. Now I am embarrassed to have a sub to Wired.

Post by: cbeast on February 15, 2013, 04:04:41 PM I'd like to see some mathematical arguments against Bitcoin but so far all I've seen is hypothetical bullshit and problems that are easily fixed with common sense. Yes, but what if, hypothetically, there really is a mathematical argument against Bitcoin, hmmm? :DI know what you mean. Bitcoin is a huge paradigm shift for most people. Even people I've convinced to invest in Bitcoin and are making a lot of money still don't believe it is real. They still come up with hypothetical nonsense against the idea. Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: mobile4ever on February 15, 2013, 04:16:09 PM I know what you mean. Bitcoin is a huge paradigm shift for most people. That part is not going to change for a short while. It takes about a 15 percent adoption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp0HIF3SfI4&t=11m15s Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: RodeoX on February 15, 2013, 04:27:58 PM It's the article that is "expired". It claims BTC is dead just as it becomes more popular than ever. Yeah, bitcoins looks real dead. ::)
Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: Carlton Banks on February 15, 2013, 04:37:40 PM Even people I've convinced to invest in Bitcoin and are making a lot of money still don't believe it is real. They still come up with hypothetical nonsense against the idea. People that are making money are saying that? They've got no interest in how it is that they're doing it? That's truly bizarre! Presumably they think they're profiting from everyone's collective delusion? (which is arguably the case even if you are a Bitcoin cheerleader) Not such a bad thing if they stick with it though, as they can carry on thinking that way and still make their contribution to the exchange markets. Bitcoin still benefits. Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: misterbigg on February 15, 2013, 04:48:28 PM Wired is irrelevant now so who cares.

Well, you should be. :D 1997 called, wants its tabloid trash back. Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize?

Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: Mike Christ on February 22, 2013, 12:22:25 AM Funny that the writer managed to piss off nearly every single reader there ;D But yeah, this article is a waste of space. He got paid to have an opinion. I wonder how many people could perform that job.
Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: Lethn on February 22, 2013, 12:45:35 AM Wired is irrelevant now so who cares. Going to places like Wired for tech news and knowledge is a bit like trying to shop at PC World, you just know you're not going to get any intelligent responses. Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: Vernon715 on February 22, 2013, 01:09:59 AM They talk about exchanges getting hacked but not about banks getting hacked ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
Title: Re: How long should we give Wired magazine to retract their story and apologize? Post by: Lethn on February 22, 2013, 03:58:38 AM That's how propaganda works Vernon715 :D honestly, if you've noticed that, I'm sure you'll notice it all over the other news places now too since they all do it to some degree.
