Title: Bitcoin's Image Problem.

Insomnia + IRC = Blog post I'll probably find a dozen spelling and grammar errors in tomorrow morning. Hopefully it's still worth reading.

Very interesting read. You make some good points, but you're right about them cherry picking. We aren't going to get to decide the interviewees anyway.

You should write more. Didn't see too many errors.

Wow, it's nice to finally put a face on LukeJr. I must say, I wasn't disappointed :)

LukeJr should definately get out more, get some sun, eat some more food and take up some exercise. Apart from that, I dig both Roger Ver and Matonis, as for the media, I'm not too concerned, bitcoin will succeed on its own merits, not what the media says or do not say about it.

When he would do that, who is going to maintain BFGMiner? Because with all the extra stuff he has to do, not sure how much time he'll have coding :P (truth be told, 80% of your programmers falls in the same mental image as LukeJr imo, the sad part is that big media usually only covers the other 20%, either like the dude in the picture above (or girl), or some dude being crazy overweight... (IT Guy, Jurassic Park anyone) as working on a computer would make you be overweight)

30 to 60mins every day for exercise will leave you more productive. Even presidents have time to exercise.

True true, though imo it doesn't look like he is missing those. (same goes for me, gotta walk to a server in the DC about 20 times a day, so get my movement :) )
