    It's a good article, but ironicly he displays his own economic biases by citing long debunked viewpoints while trying to indirectly support bitcoin with them.
    "The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

    "Zitty", Berlin.

    That's one of the two leading city-magazines of Berlin.

    Has a one-and-a-half-pages article about Bitcoin, woven around a report about the bar restaurant ROOM77. Pretty much explains the most important facts about Bitcoin in non-tech-speak. Actually _very_ non-tech and also quite clueless as the journalist doesn't even understand the difference between IN- and DE-flation. Anyway, bottom line of the article is, that there is a new virtual currency that shifts power away from governments and banks and that the Bitcoin-community sees that as a feature, not as a bug Wink.

    Greetings from Berlin!

    The magazine Northwest Mama just had an article in their first issue released today. Their website has the current issue, which as of now has the article on page 42.

    http://nwmama.com/

    For those who just want a quick summary:

    Bitcoin is a substitute for traditional money, not just CCs and checks but Yen, EUR, and USD.

    You should set up an ewallet, people can send you money there and you'll generate some for free, it won't make your computer go slow.

    Bitcoin is too buggy and won't replace current money for 30 years.

    And my own note:

    We're going to need Bitcoin education classes in every city within 2 years or there are going to be some confused folks bouncing around.

    Please do not think I made that article. I just found it and posted it.

    I don't think anyone does, but you have to admit, it was obviously written by someone who didn't do their homework very well.

    I certainly didn't think that. I appreciate link posting.

    Even though that article is pretty flawed I didn't mean to be critical. People, unsurprisingly even writers, are having trouble understanding. I was just pointing that out.

    The comments are filled with patheticly uneducated perspectives.

    In this episode, Max Keiser and co-host Stacy Herbert discuss getting Zhou Tonged and Jamie Dimon-ed in financial markets. They also discuss bucket shop derivatives, a debit card repo scam and a compound of morons and regulatory flatulence. In the second half of the show Max talks to Michel Bauwens of the P2P Foundation about bitcoin in the virtual world and about pseudo abundance and artificial scarcity in the real world.

    Hey, let's get this straight, I'm the one who originated the term and it's one word, a verb, as in any member of a class of words that are formally distinguished in many languages, as in English by taking the past ending in -ed,  that function as the main elements of predicates, that typically express action, state, or a relation between two things, and that (when inflected) may be inflected for tense, aspect, voice, mood, and to show agreement with their subject or object.; as in being Zhoutonged.

    Yep.

    It's also out in print. Which is cool 'cause it is lying around in every bar and in every home in Berlin for two weeks and literally everybody in Berlin flicks through it at some point.

    Hi Everyone,

    Let's try to reach an audience of 800000+ facebook users through the Samsung NX page. Amazing photographer Boris Austin put up a series of 10 pictures explaining why the world needs Bitcoin!

    To view, please go to this link:

    https://apps.facebook.com/nxphotoexhibition/

    (To find the photos: Like the page, click on Boris Austin, enter his gallery, it's on the left wall)


    If you like the photos and the girl in it; 'Like', comment and spread the message! You can even enter the Name & Share contest, and win something from Samsung.

    It is a bit weird, how that facebook app works. Try again after "Like"-ing the Samsung NX page, and clicking on the Enter Gallery button, and then you can see Boris Austin... good luck

    if you are impatient, I found this to view the 10 photos:

    It's unclear whether or not this development can lead to a legitimate revenue stream but it's quite interesting in the short term and certainly opens up the possiblity of a bit of media attention for early adopters in the music world.
