Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Nope. Not my handiwork. Have nothing to do with it. I don't think it's true. But if you think of countries like Zimbabwe, even the currently volatile bitcoin is more stable than their ZimDollas. (ok, the real US dollar might even be more stable...)

Maybe they should do it: move from permanent inflation to permanent deflation :p

Why do people keep repeating this? It's a hoax. "Unconfirmed CNN iReport" is as legitimate as a post on 4Chan.

Actually 4Chan post is probably more legitimate. ;-)

more or less retired.

Stupid speculation trick to rocket up BTC prices. They stuffed hundreds of forums with this fake "news".

LMFAO anyone can write an iReport and publish it; this is no more difficult than posting a facebook status.

There are even grammar mistakes in the "article."
