Although the long-term impact of price fluctuations on the Bitcoin market is unknown, the ability of the market to stabilize itself after the technical glitch may make the currency increasingly appealing to cyber criminals, money launderers and terrorists.

One of the most hilarious non-sequiturs I've read in an article about bitcoin. They are not even bothering to finish the sentence before changing the topic by 180 degrees.

Terrorists use gold. The Queen of England also uses gold. Ergo, the Queen of England is basically Usama Bin Laden.
