Kashmir, the author, is a click whore. She has written numerous Bitcoin articles and they *always* have some inflammatory twinge to them. I can tell by her writing style that she thinks she's being cute and snarky and probably means no harm by it, but she comes off as a totally uneducated idiot in the end. Her articles always come to the wrong conclusion, focus on the wrong things, and its always anti-Bitcoin ... but with a careful twist of "maybe this is amazing" mixed in. The title is always inflammatory so she can get more clicks, and therefore charge more money for her articles. I've been following her stuff on Forbes for awhile.
As a side note, her real focus was on gender. The lack of women. Not so much on race. She added that as her signature "twinge" of inflammation to get more clicks.
