One of the best articles I have seen, written by someone who understands crypto-currency.

Tomorrow morning?  I'm not sure it will take that long...

More seriously, this is probably the best article about bitcoin that I have read, bar none.  There were no blatent errors in the entire article, and there were none of the very common myths about bitcoin.  That it showed up on Bloomberg BusinessWeek is even better.

I've been collecting articles on my blog post, and I have to agree this is one of the best ones I've read. My favorite quote:

Quote
Bitcoin is a hedge against the entire global currency system.

Yes.

This.

I care more about this than I do about the current price.

Anybody know how big the readership for this publication is?

Wikipedia says just under a million for the print edition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusinessWeek

Can probably figure at least that for online.

There is a sort of offhanded reference to being able to do illegal things near the end of the article, but he pretty much glosses over that aspect of bitcoins.

A great article.

I also really like image accompanying the article


The "IN NO ONE WE TRUST" in negative space is very clever. Reminds us of the dollar ("In God we trust") but emphasizes the differences. With bitcoin you don't need to trust anyone to know that the bitcoin you receive is good - no counterfeit bitcoins, no central banker to inflate your savings to zero purchasing power, no third party that can arbitrarily stop your transaction, no bureaucrats that can decide to seize your money to bail out others. No trust necessary, just math based rules.
