I'm in a rush but saw 2 bitocin headlines in the lastest news on marketwatch.  Don't seem very positive.  But news is news.

Edit: watched the video and the guy said your bitcoins are stored in an online bank which is wrong of course.

is there some geo-targeting script in the 1st article? Looks that way to me unless someone just happens to be from my town.. not real likely.

edit: guess it is some guy from my town.. all the copied articles say that as well.  Shocked

The first article has a very negative sounding title, but the article itself isn't too bad.  He basically says all currency trading is risky.

That's actually a great article.  Tell people something may be a little bit too advanced or risky and that they should stick something more appropriate for their level of sophistication and they'll want it all the more.

You're right, I didn't read the article cause I was busy at the time and I judged from the headline.  Its on the front page of marketwatch none the less.

Uggg...bad news.  If the MSM guys are focusing in on Bitcoin again and being negative about it, it probably means that their handlers are planning to move in Sad

Before the Dot.com crash I had no money and didn't pay any attention to this financial reporting.  After that, and observing their behavior in that world, I managed to do pretty well by doing the opposite of what these guys were pumping and diving into the things they were negative about (esp gold.)

sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.
