Well, Conde Nast owns both Wired and Reddit as well as Ars Technica (some fairly positive coin coverage there)... The place you probably need to search for an apology is probably the story author.

Heh, that asshamster should go back to karma whoring on Slashdot. It's easy to put down new things. Knowing which new things will succeed takes wisdom and insight.

What trash:
"At the height of its popularity, Bitcoin was trumpeted as a viable alternative currency for the internet age, a monetary system engineered to prevent theft, gaming, and criminalization. Then came the malware, the black market, the legal ambiguities and The Man. Today, you can't even use it to buy Facebook stock."
Say huh?

What an idiot. Someday this poorly researched statement will be more infamous than Bill Gates' apocryphal "640K of memory is all that anybody with a computer would ever need" quote.

I thought the OP was talking about "The Rise and Fall of Bitcoin". Bill Gates' apocryphal "640K of memory is all that anybody with a computer would ever need" quote.
He didn't say "ever". He was talking about that particular point in time, and in a specific context.

Say I have some bitcoin and I want to buy Facebook stock (not sure why, but just go with me here). How hard would it be, what is the easiest way to trade bitcoins for stock? How would that be any different if I was using Paypal or Venmo (never heard of it before, but apparently its the new thing)? Edit: OK, I looked at the venmo website. It is a centralized, dollar based electronic payment network only available in the US. Not really the same thing as Bitcoin, more like paypal with a nice phone app.

I'm sorry, but every time I see some moron ranting about Bitcoin and completely disregarding basic Math in their arguments I just smile, these people are no threat and they never will be.

The title is more the problem then the content. The article was published during some of the darkest days of bitcoin yet really does not paint bitcoin in a worse light then the current events suggested. I would welcome another Wired article about bitcoin but with a PROPER title.

I'd like to see some mathematical arguments against Bitcoin but so far all I've seen is hypothetical bullshit and problems that are easily fixed with common sense.
