Here is an article that is posted on Canada's national news site.  http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/why-bitcoin-isn-t-dead-yet-1.2563875

A fairly dull summary of the last month's events, but still on the national broadcasters news site..  I am still really confused why they keep insinuating that bitcoin was the cause of that Autumn Radtke's suicide last week in Singapore.  I don't think the reporters are close enough to confirm that bitcoin was the cause.  They talk about bitcoin like it's a problem same as heroine or something.
Peace.

"Bitcoiners aren’t just a bunch of nerds wanting to buy drugs online," Coates said recently. "Out there is a vibrant international community of consumers who have realized the advantages of this new kind of money, and it’s growing day by day."

Do you live in Canada?  Isn't that a little harsh?  Aren't many news sites the same? Care to elaborate on that statement?
