Title: Is financial blogger Karl Denninger censoring his own anti-Bitcoin articles??
Post by: solex on June 13, 2014, 09:52:48 AM
Karl Denninger, the multi-millionaire blogger on matters economic and political normally turns his polemic style onto Wall Street and Washington DC corruption, but he fully unleashed the flamethrowers onto Bitcoin last year.

Now, however, is he taking a lesson from the dirty play-book of the Chinese Communist Party which wants to erase the Tiananmen Square massacre from the pages of history?

A search for "Bitcoin" on http://market-ticker.org/ reveals zero matches, even though he published three or four articles like this one:

The Mt.Gox and Bitstamp debacles prove that Bitcoin is not a perfectly secure currency and that the “Bitcoin ecosystem” is quite dangerous. True or false?
It is true but not because of these problems. Bitcoin has never been a currency, because in order to be a currency it needs to be two things. First, it needs to be a medium of exchange... [etc etc]

Today (July 13th, 2014) this Market Ticker article is missing, showing "Post Not Available" with a  baby-pink background.

Has he got the guts to publicly admit that he was wrong, and take a proper look at Bitcoin technology, and finally write a balanced article? One that will permanently remain on his website?

It's interesting to see development like this.
Yes, Bitcoin has it's weakneses that CAN be fixed, but some of Bitcoin hater are going way too far with what they type and publish. I guess, sooner or later it will blow up in their faces.

The main one I notice is that he spends a lot of time destroying a straw man argument - that Bitcoin will replace national currencies. I don't think most people expect Bitcoin to replace national currencies; it fills a niche demand for methods of transferring wealth outside the traditional financial system.
