Wow such economics !

Fail comments. Very embarrassing for a science mag.

Edit: on second read article is mostly ok except things like "6 % is removed from circulation because of a hack".

Rational writings. The last sentence quoted here :

Bitcoins may well be one of the truly major financial innovations that brings the world together and forces long-needed fiscal and financial reform.  Let’s give it a chance.

When talking about how to use there is no mention of mind wallets.

Still don't get it though :
"Why does transaction verification or confirmation take so long? Because the complex algorithms involved in Bitcoin mining"

"The concepts of cryptocurrencies in general are abstruse and abstract."

I would argue that at a "concept" level this should not be the case, the "concept" is not that hard. So many seem to be turned of by the idea that it is "abstruse", "abstract", "technical" etc.

Skip in to 9:15 to avoid the boring into stuff.

Not sure what Robert thinks about BTC though.

Found this a while ago. Good read for noobs.
