Bitcoin got a brief mention on Australia's national youth radio station TripleJ during the Hack half hour this afternoon. They were talking about Wikileaks payment blockade and alternative means of donating. you can listen to it or download the mp3 of it here: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hack/stories/s3347881.htmif you just want to hear the 'bitcoin' sound bite, skip to about 2:40. I've added the following to my Facebook profile: "Banks have blocked finances to WikiLeaks. Donations are not illegal. Freedom of Speech is not yet illegal. Contact me if you want help donating to WikiLeaks."![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fa5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-ak-ash4%2F301692_10150869150235411_817105410_21186910_720251131_n.jpg&t=665&c=rxRDH0hgzf2YuA)

This chinese article looks like a spinoff from the cnet article on whether casascius coins are legal or not. This strikes me as sheer journalistic speculation. No legal sources are cited.

That was pretty brutal to watch. I only managed to endure the first 3 minutes. Oooouch. It sure seems stupid people giggle a lot. EDIT: this sure fits, too: "first they ignore you, then they laugh about you, then they fight you, then you win".

Bitcoin Can't Be Free from the Powers That Be, Because It Rides on Rails That They Control Wagner James Au 2011-10-27 http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2011/10/bitcoin-cant-be-free.htmlBitcoin, the innovative virtual currency, may be a good idea for many reasons, but as it's currently conceived, it cannot really be free from corporate and state control. That's my strong belief after recently talking to Bill Maurer, Professor of Anthropology and Law at UC Irvine, whose specialty is money. ... " t's not that they could easily pull the plug on the whole thing," he tells me, "just that they could easily stop the cash-in, cash-out side of Bitcoin, and effectively stop the flow of value into the system."

There's an app for that.

17 Dot Com failures and their modern counterparts 2011-10-27 HARRISON WEBER http://thenextweb.com/entrepreneur/2011/10/27/17-dot-com-failures-and-their-modern-counterparts/Digital Currency By now, everyone’s heard of Bitcoin, a peer to peer digital currency. From praise to criticism and security problems, there’s tons of buzz around the idea. What you may not know is that Bitcoin is a decentralized take on what Flooz (watch this commercial), Beenz and SpeedyBucks tried to accomplish 12 years earlier. In 1999, digital currency was like a gift card without a store to back it’s value. In the end, the overall consumer reaction was “why?”

This one stretches the bounds of 'notable' - but I think it's an interesting read as a perspective from an 'investor/speculator' who has been blogging on the subject of economics/trading for years, appears to be new to bitcoin and despite the recent slew of media reports sees enough potential to dip in. Bayesian Investor Blog Ramblings of a somewhat libertarian stock market speculator Bitcoin 2011-10-28 http://www.bayesianinvestor.com/blog/index.php/2011/10/28/bitcoin/"I do think there’s a nontrivial chance that Bitcoin will become widely used as a store of value, and that might replace a significant amount of demand for gold a decade or two from now. " ... "I will probably invest a small fraction of my net worth in Bitcoin, but I don’t feel any urgency about it."

I like the "smart bank" idea a lot, too. Did anyone catch the name of the "new german bank that was accounced"? "feda bank" or "feder bank", I can't find it.
