The Entire World Just Found Out about Bitcoin!

This also shows clearly that a Presidentail candidate should not have things he want to keep under the carpet.
What would had happened if a evil group where to use this after he was a president to push him in certain directions?

Look at this post.. http://edition.cnn.com/2012/09/06/politics/romney-tax-threat/index.html
According to CNN they just only want 1 Million dollars.

Edit: oh they editted the post. =/

CNN just broadcasted the story on live television.

Bitcoins have now been mentioned on one of the most popular tv channels.

That's a fairly respectable edit. More or less all these articles are calling bitcoin a currency, doubt they realise how much legitimacy they're adding to public awareness with that

Also on the CNN tv channel right now. They mention bitcoins a few times. They call it a digital internet currency.

Mittcoin: a btc fork backed by the value of keeping Romney's tax returns secret. 

Romney must control 51% of the network for the docs to remain encrypted in the blockchain.

BarryCoin:  Same thing, using Obama's foreign Muslim student transcripts.

WOW! The cat is out of the bag. Was it intentional to promote Bitcoin?

[HostFat]

did someone recorded it?

They're scared of the Streisand Effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

They already invoked it by them omitting that the radnsom has to be paid in BTC in their initial reports. By editing it in they are invoking it because others will omit it on later reports, and so on. That's exactly how this works.

From the end of the CNN article (http://edition.cnn.com/2012/09/06/politics/romney-tax-threat/index.html):

Jeff Garzik, listed on the Bitcoin website as part of its development team, told CNN the "consensus among the Bitcoin chattering class appears to be that this is a hoax." He cited an online forum in which many users express that view.

The currency is traceable, even if users go by pseudonyms, Garzik said. Every transaction is stored in a "block chain," which he compares to "a public ledger."

"It seems unlikely that thieves would make so public a heist, with law enforcement so likely to watch the block chain and associated Bitcoin exchanges," he said.

"Bitcoin" is actually mentioned quite a bit in that article...

Now imagine they vote with bitcoin instead of sms for x factor and whatever got talent etc... geez I need to patent it, lol.

Miss World, Miss Universe

Clicked that link. Skimmed the article, noticed multiple paragraphs on Bitcoin. Checked the comments. Noticed that there are almost 4000 comments. I'm literally rolling on the floor here, OMFG!!!

There has never ever been a Bitcoin related article that is this big... this is HUGE.

Yeah, and especially because the couple sentences summarizing bitcoin were actually accurate, for once. And I *love* that they even noted that various merchants accept it:

Bitcoin is a digital currency not overseen by any government or bank. Various merchants accept the currency for goods and services.

[BkkCoins]

Except none of the comments I browsed were commenting on Bitcoin. They are all centered on Obama vs Romney releasing more/less tax returns.

[Akka]

Isn't that the right moment to do some advertising?

Doesn't anyone have an account there? Or would this be contraproductive?

"The currency is traceable, even if users go by pseudonyms, Garzik said. Every transaction is stored in a "block chain," which he compares to "a public ledger.""

I know Jeff knows better.

Why does Jeff keep saying this when Silk Road has proven that law enforcement cannot trace tumbled coins?
