TD₿: Who Benefits from the New York Times' Attacks on Bitcoin (an article) by Level39
TL;DR: A recent editorial attack on Bitcoin mining by The New York Times raises questions about its journalistic integrity and editorial process.
Hey Bitcoiners,
Are some large shareholders of the New York Times who benefit from high variances in demand for energy influencing the publication? Level39 researches this issue and asks the hard-hitting questions of why we would be seeing such exaggerated, doctored and inaccurate reporting when it comes to this issue.
Enjoy!

Meme of the Day
I find your cartoon of the Irish and the pot of gold offensive… reminds me of English cartoons portrayed images of the Irish as monkeys. Totally unexceptable and crass.
