The media picks up on the 'FBI' bitcoin april 2012 report.
Notably absent is any real scrutiny as to whether the document is genuine (although based on the nature of the content, it seems plausible)

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!
