[2014-12-25] DailyMail: The year in tech

[pawel7777]

Bitcoin mentioned in the DailyMail 2014 tech summary:

The year in tech: Supersize smartphones, the breakdown of Bitcoin and an Uber explosion... but what can we expect in 2015?

BITCOIN AT A CROSSROADS
The pre-eminent cryptocurrency was dealt a severe blow in February when the biggest exchange, Tokyo-based Mt Gox, collapsed after a suspected cyber attack. Bitcoin's value plummeted and hasn't recovered. It's now trading at about half its January high of about $US800 ($A865.57). Analysts remain concerned about security and the lack of regulation, but Australian entrepreneurs are keeping the faith. To try to take it mainstream, one company began rolling out bitcoin ATMs and another has launched a bitcoin debit card.

why does every newspaper has to mention Mt. Gox again and again? It was not Bitcoins mistake.^^

Secureinvestment.com disapeared with 1 billion dollar and the dollar is not unsafe...

Hope this ends in 2015

Nice to see it get a mention in something like the daily mail and seems pretty fair all round.

Analysts remain concerned about security and the lack of regulation

I'd love to know who these 'analysts' are and why we should listen to them  .

...

It's not a proper newspaper, it's more of tabloid.

Don't expect them to spend too much time on doing the proper research.

They just do a quick google search, put together a few sentences + add some photo and article is ready.
