He's an attention whore.
Interesting point. Of course he is. "Attention whore" is pretty much an aphorism to describe his job. And to some extend, aren't we all attention whores, anyway?

You're missing the point. The USD value is irrelevant and doesn't make an interesting story. It's interesting because Bitcoin enables these anonymous donations, with ease, and it creates a new dynamic wherein the journalist is forced to reject payments because of the anonymity.
In other words, it demonstrates how different BTC is, where it can be sent across the world to someone who doesn't even want it. It's so easy, it can simply slip over to someone who wasn't ready to receive it.
This argument is valid. I didn't look at it from this point. You've changed my mind. And to some extend, aren't we all attention whores, anyway?
To some extent yes, but the difference is that we (or at least I) don't participate in this forum solely for attention. I seek new thoughts from people who, I believe, are more intelligent or have a deeper insight in Bitcoin. I purposefully use an aggressive style to provoke replies and get as much information as possible.

Bitcoins are neat. an article by illpoet
Bitcoins are rad. ppl like them. You can use them to buy potato chips, graphics cards and crack cocaine. Centralized Banking is bad. Totally unrad. Ppl think centralized currency and banking are stinky. The End. 18LnbVnVPk2eFQuNpb2eSCtsFPhtB5hVDB
