- jheimark 14y agoBitcoin is a currency, not ownership of a company. Bitcoin are still so difficult to purchase that I doubt writing about them seriously raises the price. There have been bubbles in Bitcoin before, many are suggesting Spain/Cyprus are encouraging the current one. Just as financial journalists do not have to disclose their personal wealth when writing about currency markets, tech journalists shouldn't have to disclose their bitcoin holdings when writing about Bitcoin.
