Title: 2013-06-22 Bitcoin losing shine after hitting the spotlight Post by: patricktim on June 25, 2013, 08:28:09 AM http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/bitcoin-losing-shine-after-hitting-spotlight-6C10066339
California regulators recently warned a nonprofit organization related to the online "crypto-currency" Bitcoin that it may face charges for unlicensed money transmission. Misunderstanding may lie at the core of the warning, but the bleeding-edge experimental money has seen no end of legal troubles since it started becoming more well-known.

How can a crypto-currency "shine"? How can it "lose shine"? How can it "hit a spotlight"? The media are choking on their own self-aggrandizing metaphors, which is fine by me.
