The article was pretty good, but the title was definitely sensationalist. We don't take kindly to that around here. I almost didn't read it because of the title alone.

I'm sure you've put time into reading about BitCoin but it's difficult to take a "piece" seriously when the grammatical and mechanical errors in your writing are abundant. Additionally, beginning a "piece" with a vapid 6 point list.
Also not to mention the comment stacking with "bradpineau". Whatevs, I guess I'm just feeding the shark. Please flag this submission to anyone who get here - it's obvious social media spam.

If that's the result of a) to g) PLUS 100 hours of your own research, I'm quite disappointed because there's various misconceptions and hand-waving.

Outside of members of the bitcoin project, Jason is probably the most qualified to write a bitcoin article. As he states above, he definetly did the research.
Seriously, let's break this down:
a) I hear about a trend
b) I read everything I can find about it
c) I have two full-time analysts read everything on it and talk to 10 people.
d) I have 30+ producers of my show do research
e) I host a podcast with the lead developers
f) I read a ton of comments and listen to the feedback on the show
g) I write a piece two weeks later after taking it all in.
Yep, I just did 100+ hours of research on the top and put out a link-baiting piece. :-)
