Title: Re: Best articles on Bitcoin Post by: Shinobi on August 07, 2011, 07:31:25 PM Just point him a link to this forum. It will show him Bitcoin. I bet you are afraid to.

We discuss some things about the forum, but he's interested in articles. I've left this page and the Bitcoin press hits page up for him so he can visit at his leisure.

My dad does not have the leisure time to sort through the garbage on the forums.
