Leah McGrath Goodman, I could almost swear I've seen that name before somewhere. Google... oh yeah, she was the one who did that story about that Japanese-American guy being the inventor of Bitcoin, the one that turned out to be a rather irresponsible fabrication.
Looking at this story, the first couple of paragraphs talk about a nonvirtual currency created by a bunch of racists. Why? Does that have anything to do with Bitcoin? As far as I can tell, no, it's just an attempt to smear by insinuation.
Then it starts into "but terrorists". Stopped reading at that point.
I'm not saying Bitcoin doesn't have flaws. By all means let them be discussed fairly and with intellectual honesty. I don't think this article is the place to look for that discussion.
- mr_spothawk 10y agoclearly, this is fluff. the trouble for me is evaluating whether this fluff is a float: 'we will outlaw zcash', or a flop: 'the authorities should outlaw zcash'.
