Hia,

I'm currently doing a sociology assignment on Bitcoin and looking at how it has been presented conversely by different media outlets.

While I am obviously sifting through the hundreds of articles written myself, particularly post-crash, I was wondering if anybody who has or knows of a decent record of notable articles could kindly share them.
Being the rarer form, I am looking more for the positive/upbeat articles to analyse in contrast to the abundance of sceptical/naive/apathetic views on the concept.

So once again, I'm not looking for anybody to do my work for me, rather point me in the direction of a nicely catalogued list if they know of any.

Many thanks.

The powers of group estimation conquer again with the majority being correct by 1 vote.

BTC successfully estimated in the $100-150 range.

Proudhon, baha.

You asked for it, here it is again!

Congratulations- crowdsourcing speculation on Bitcointalk is successful and one week later the price is ~$93.

Made $5500 from $500.

Could have made $10,000 at the peak. Coulda' woulda' shoulda'.

Thoughts anyone?

Thoughts?

bump?

Apologies if this is a repost- I've seen the poll regarding LTC affecting BTC if they co-exist on Mt Gox.

My question is whether the rising/falling value of BTC would affect LTC- linearly or conversely? I own ~120ltc and am interested to know what people expect the value of them to be in the mid-long term.

Cheers.

I realised after I posted it that I shouldn't have said "fixed price". I was thinking in my head of being told once that $1 was equal to a fixed amount of gold that it could be traded for.

Thanks for the explanation!

You can't walk to a bank and trade 1btc for X amount of gold, though. It cannot be traded for something else of value at a fixed price.

I've always been puzzled as to how Bitcoin has an intrinsic value if it isn't backed by a physical commodity though.

If fiat currency that is no longer backed by gold is essentially worth nothing, why is Bitcoin?
I don't think that my argument is correct, I just don't know why it's wrong.

Obviously I don't totally believe it or I wouldn't have money in it.

Hia,

I'm a long time reader, first time poster. I've invested in Bitcoin since 2011 and just yesterday purchased some Litecoins.

I saw this video a few days ago which at first I dismissed along with most Bitcoin criticism videos, particularly with the 50% dislike rate. Most Bitcoin apologists would dislike most videos against it anyway, though.

So while watching it, I did seem to find some of the points somewhat rational and sensible. Of course I don't want them to be right, and they could well be wrong. But could someone who has watched the whole video and has more knowledge shed some light as to why he is, if at all wrong? Feel free to comment if you agree with him also. I wouldn't hold my breath that that would be an awful lot of you though.

Thanks!
