Adrian Chen Bitcoin
In his article about Much Ado About Bitcoin, he wrote; Bitcoin is based on a combination of traditional speculative greed and a modern utopian cyberlibertarian ideology. A decentralized network of computers, rather than a bank, ensures the authenticity of bitcoin transactions. It’s digital cash, and it provides the same anonymity and freedom as a paper sack of bills. The concepts underlying bitcoin can be traced back to a 1988 pamphlet titled the Crypto Anarchist Manifesto. The promise of bitcoin appears to be limited to assisting online retailers in avoiding credit-card processing fees. Its technomagic sheen has allowed uber-rational geeks to treat the casino-floor frenzy as a serious technological story. Bitcoin is too reliant on speculative mania to be useful as a currency. It is, however, gold as a symbol of the misguided dream that one can tap into the global data stream and download riches like a pop song.

The story topped the Post’s most-read list and was widely shared on Twitter by prominent journalists and politicians. … However, a close examination of the report revealed that it was a shambles.” Chen argued that PropOrNot’s criteria for establishing propaganda were so broad that they could have included “not only Russian state-controlled media organizations, such as Russia Today, but nearly every news outlet in the world, including the Post itself” on their list.
