... and some WTF text to go with them, for instance:

"Bitcoins are protected by complex mathematical problems that help maintain the network’s public transaction’s logbook."

"These train-wreck like computers are dangerously put together with Lego and other random household products. They cost between $1,800 and $2,500 and are crammed with high-end computer parts."

"In Ottawa, a Bitcoin miner actually accidentally burned his house down after a soldering mishap."

and, my fave, his caption for a mining rig: "This doesn’t even look like a computer to me." This from "Postmedia's technology editor with a passion for video games and technology." - he apparently gets paid to write this stuff.
