Title: 2013-03-07 Volkskrant (dutch): Bitcoin is getting mainstream - but what is it?
Post by: simonvrouwe on March 09, 2013, 01:25:36 PM
The online version of a major Dutch newspaper "Volkskrant", showed an article on Bitcoin. It's written in Dutch.
In summary: the article explains what Bitcoin is, how it came into existence and weather or not it would be a solution to the international credit crisis (can it?). The last two paragraphs on how to use (buy) Bitcoin, also showing a link to a dutch Bitcoin website, and where can you spend them. I could not find misconceptions about Bitcoin in the article, it states advantages of Bitcoin over fiat and other digital currencies, so its a very positive article.

If I remember correctly there was an article about Bitcoin in NRCNext in 2011

Hopefully there will be more well written articles much more frequently  ;)
