[2015-11-14] Bitcoin in the Headlines: Financial Times Ruffles Feathers

Boring weeks in bitcoinland are far and few between.

Last week's headlines – predominately dominated by the digital currency's dizzying price spike – gave way to a different form of narrative as journalists from the mainstream media sought to discern its meaning and implications.

In so doing, the coverage arguably shifted from largely positive articles to more controversial explorations of bitcoin that were sometimes found to be at odds with common consensus among the technology's observers.

The Financial Times was even called out by industry insiders, who were unhappy with the way the publication linked both bitcoin and its recent price increase to an alleged online pyramid scheme run by a convicted Russian fraudster.

Elsewhere, the possibility of Satoshi Nakamoto winning a Nobel Prize for his contribution to economics caught the attention of reporters from across the globe, with the news reverberating even among foreign-language news outlets.
