Every article I read about Bitcoin has a picture of a metal bitcoin in it. I guess that is to make sure very few people get the point of what bitcoin is.

- superprime 13y agoIt's obviously a coin made out of a bit of metal.
- antonius 13y agoI'm sure people that read Bitcoin articles make their judgement through the articles' content as opposed to a picture.
- consz 13y agoI don't. Pictures are very appealing and easy to digest, I'd rather they be more clear with visual media than with the article itself.
- illuminate 13y agoThis is why USA Today exists.
- derefr 13y agoThey need a picture of something. The articles are laid out such that there's a hole labelled "insert illustration-team piece, falling back to relevant stock-image" on them before they ever get written. Suggest what else it could be for a Bitcoin article. Perhaps a visualization of a block-chain? A hash with a lot of zeroes in it? Satoshi walking away from his computer with a wheelbarrow of money?
- Falkon1313 13y agoPerhaps an illustration of a transaction occurring simply, directly, rapidly, and with a tiny fee compared to one requiring trips to the bank at both ends, forms to fill out, taking several days, passing through several intermediary financial organizations, and costing several expensive fees along the way. Cruft-free transactions are one of primary distinguishing characteristics of Bitcoin, right? But then when addressing the negatives, follow that up with an illustration of the current process to obtain Bitcoins.
