Price hits $197, following a jump of $30 in a day, calming fears that the closure of Silk Road would harm the currency

Edit: A few laughable points but we're used to that by now. Smiley

(so called champions of freedom) The Guardian should really have a whole list of laughable Bitcoin malapropisms. But it will take alot to knock this one of the tops spot:

No. 1. Bitcoin, the favoured currency of African dictators and terrorists.


No, really, they really said this (well, one of their gifted columnists did)

This one might be it - in the same vein for sure:

"An obscure digital currency – used mostly for running drugs and laundering money for dictators...."

That's it. Great how The Guardian stands up for the freedoms it thinks we should be aware we are losing. They're total heros of liberty at The Guardian.

And of course, that's a thoroughly researched and easily validated claim their columnist is making. Oh yes.
