@CElston I’m sure that @aantonop wouldn’t mind me directing you to “Mastering Bitcoin” https://t.co/iWEM0DMoTG http://t.co/VeSoddhMsx
@ezraklein @binarybits You made the wrong call when you chose ignorance over experience.
@danlowe in a pinch, saliva can be used as lube
.@voxdotcom flip flops, chooses ignorance over firsthand experience with cryptocurrency. http://t.co/3nJAAmL1DK
@curtwoodward Everyone is biased; I don’t see the point trying to pretend that a journalist isn’t biased.
@curtwoodward I guess; it seems silly to me. Whatever you write about any public good or service may have an effect upon it.
@ezrabutler @cdixon If positive articles you write about Paypal creates more users, that increases the value of Paypal’s network to you…
@curtwoodward Gotcha. So how should we view journalists who are bullish on the dollar and write articles flaming cryptocurrency? :-P
@ezrabutler @cdixon That sounds terrible. Can journalists not have Paypal / Google wallet / Square / etc accounts if they write about them?
@ezrabutler Sure, but first hand experience is orders of magnitude more valuable than secondhand. Pretty sure that’s @cdixon’s point.
@curtwoodward Pump? Last I checked, buying cryptocurrency doesn’t affect the spot price unless you’re buying many thousands of dollars worth
@ezrabutler @cdixon That is indeed absurd, given that one is legal and the other is not. One is violent and the other is voluntary.
@curtwoodward @cdixon Hard to say. I’ve had a number of reporters interview me, and most of them manage to screw up the details.
@hblodget @cdixon Last I checked, @coinbase made it pretty darn easy. Assuming that you trust their Vault service.
@binarybits Good to hear you’re back in the game. Let me know when you’re ready to level up. ;-) https://t.co/uemffoje8X
