Yes. I think the Economist got it right - including a technical explanation I can give to my mother.

The Economist article got 'it right'.

Also, I have to wonder how many one-sentence threads calista is going to post. Sure you shouldn't just be spewing out nonsense on twitter? It seems to fit your format.

I thought the recent Guardian article was a decent attempt. They didn't seem to have any direct intent at least to misrepresent anything or twist the facts.

 It doesn't matter. The publicity alone is more valuable to Bitcoin's long-term success than "getting it right."
