Well, they say any publicity is good publicity. It might attract a lot of people who get curious about it, obviously this cannot be held against the idea behind the technology and most people will hopefully recognize that.

Yes, as a french person I can confirm that "Le Monde" is the most important newspaper in France. I'll check the paper edition in case there is something.

It's a pretty reasonable article. Almost anything short of a peer-reviewed journal article is going to be laden with a few inaccuracies or minor misrepresentations.

Bitcoin was briefly described on Polish news: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8zsGVuD3qMPolsat is a very popular Polish TV station. The news is pretty positive overall, their only concern is that it may be a speculative bubble at the moment and also, that there are very few places (in Poland) accepting Bitcoin.

It would be fun to see if certain media outlets received marching orders from their bosses or if internal emails are available to shed light on a consistent theme among the latest spat of fluff reporting. Are they seeing Bitcoin as such an insignificant item or is this concerted with no attempt to backup inconsistent facts that these articles are relaying? Let's look back on previous articles by all the reporting for continuity and factual basis on previous subject matter. Only about 108 articles this past week... anybody got a lifetime to lend? HAHAHA. Bahbra is gonna be rich someday.

Yeah I've already received tweets about that and forex.com enforcing it in the recent future. The gov is getting creative now giving relief to the bankers yet another way from the pockets of the common citizens. Boy am I glad that Bitcoin exists to give everyone another way out as long as we can work together.

I did some research into the claims made by that article. If you read the actual text of the act, it only outlaws the trading of commodities on margin by unlicensed brokers. That's a far cry from the headline's claim. This won't affect most of us, it seems, and it certainly won't affect the gold and silver bugs with their vaults full of precious metals.
