Today I've seen an article on the economic section of the newspaper which makes be very angry.
Here's the outline of the article translated to English (I've thrown away the newspaper of anger, however I remembered what it spread):

Quote

I (writer) have met a friend who played wth bitcoin (1), and he said that a bitcoin conference held in Philippines have invited a significant people (2) for free.
Then I (writer) think that he is willing to go for free because he have a lot of bitcoin, which are got from satoshi (3).
I (writer) also think that bitcoin will over just for switching off the power supply (4), and make them worthless.

(1) Bitcoin isn't a thing to 'play' with! He is trying to leave a bad impression to the public!
(2) I've forgot who he is, nor know who he is, he is described significant in the article.
(3) Whaaaat satoshi is selling/giving away his bitcoins?! The writer is calling satoshi as a bad guy!
(4) This is a false information - bitcoin will not gone just for switching off the power. Other nodes are running still fine.

What do you think?

1. i have invested in penny shares, bluechip shares, gold, and bitcoin.. and when you can emotionally separate yourself from an investment, to save your sanity if the price drops. then you do indeed treat investments as a game. otherwise you'll go potty
2. i dont think the writer is anyone important so it won't really impact peoples opinion.
3. i think the comment about satoshi was a mis translation, where what he wrote in his native language may have said 'bitcoin, invented by satoshi'..
4. i think that switch off the power, may be another mis-translation. maybe it meant losing power (momentum, desire, demand)

i think this is more of a case where the bitcoin owner had a 5 minute conversation with the writer. so some aspects were missing, then the writer wrote an article in his own words based on his interpretation. and then when translated to english, the meaning of the words changed again..

inshort, not even worth thinking about twice or worrying about

to me i think that ththe quote you wrote was not really a big negative thing about bitcoin.. seems more like a naive opinion grabbed from a blog no one reads
