Fairly neutral coverage, but only direct quotes are from sceptics.

Adam Posen, a former member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Commitee, put it this way - adapting a quip from a US sitcom:

#gold is the investment for silly people. #bitcoin is gold for people who don't save. Please make it go away.

Good. If central bankers were in favor of Bitcoin we'd be doing something wrong.

I think that might become the official response from central banks across the world for the coming years.

Compared to the drivel coming out of the Guardian and FT yesterday, this Emma Rowley reads like a combination of Einstein and Shakespeare.
