Can someone take this PR-Piece off the PRESS section?

It clearly says at the top of the article - "Press Release"

I'm sick of this crap.

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

The very fact you guys don't understand a self-promotional piece isn't "news" just says a lot about how desensitized you are regarding advertisements in general.

My understanding of this section was that actual news items regarding Bitcoin get posted, not someone's "PR Release" - which is deliberately spun to encourage certain activities or product usage.

Get it?

For fucks' sake.
