Senate takes a close look at Bitcoin
- alexeisadeski3 13y agoI'd rather Bitcoin take a close look at the senate.
- jasonzemos 13y agoIt's amazing how an overall positive hearing (see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6756968 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6756968) lasting several hours with nuanced testimony can get shot down by this third rate news agency. This article reads as if the author didn't even watch the testimony, and would rather grab headlines with SEO-friendly newswords like "criminals" "child porn" and "assassins" -- because bitcoin is obviously great for hiring assassins after one guy did it and was caught. I'm worried there are people who will get their primary summary of today's hearing from this trash.
