http://www.svd.se/naringsliv/droger-kan-bli-ny-natvalutas-fall_6344758.svdDrugs may be new net currency fall
July 24, 2011 at 11:51, Updated: 24 July 2011 at 14:55
A new currency is emerging on the Internet. Net currency Bitcoin traded without middlemen and fees and expected by users challenge current banking system. But U.S. politicians now want to prohibit Bitcoin when they suspect that the anonymous and highly encrypted currency used by drug dealers.
Netdrugexpert Cecilia Fant of the Criminal Investigation Department says that a similar ban may be the case also in Sweden. Haven't seen any international sites reporting on this though

I didn't get *any* feedback on my effort to bring all these references to the wiki Press page. I would continue by adding this one, too but somehow feel like I'm the only one that thinks it is a good idea to have screen shots and some meta data. Sorry for bringing this up again but if there is no reaction at all I would assume it is a waste of time but telling me "hey, it is a waste of time" would help big deal. (As I don't understand Swedish and now see the need to have an english excerpt in the template, I'm bringing this up, now.) |

I don't think everything the press has ever written about Bitcoin needs to be on the page. I also don't think screenshots are needed. |

+1, though I think this thread would largely duplicate said wiki page... |

Business21C Weekly explores the business of BitCoin with Bruce Wagner who hosts an online TV show about BitCoin, and economist Adam Cohen who is a hobbyist tracker of financial currency. http://www.business21c.com.au/podcasts/edition-63-the-business-of-bitcoin(I'm listening to the interview with Bruce Wagner on my FM radio here in Sydney as I type this..  ) |

thanx for a reply. ok then only the most notable articles? with original point of views? for me it is also noteworthy to see the first article in a new country etc. the forum is no good place for presenting articles. only for collecting them. |

"I can’t believe I have to keep reiterating the core point, but here we go again: the flaw in proof-of-work as used in Bitcoin is that you have to expend 50% of all the computing power in the universe, for the rest of time in order to keep the currency stable" lolwut |

(pcmag picks up on the same tax graphic as others..) Infographic: How Bitcoins Avoid Taxes http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2389109,00.asp( the article says: "stay tuned for PCMag's expanded lesson on Bitcoins" Let's hope the next article is less sensationalist. ) |
