Should NOT go to reddit, but to New York Times. Doh! Roll Eyes

My father says that he won't listen to anybody but only somebody serious like the New York Times. What does the New York Times say about Bitcoin and what "experts"(I'm worried about this part!! Embarrassed

) do they(nytimes.com) get to talk about Bitcoin?

In order to transfer the online currency, Mr. Rossi used his smartphone to take a picture of the graphic code on Mr. Gundens phone, which provided access to his bitcoin account.

But that was a poor way to describe it.

I'm afraid it's a good enough way to describe to my dad. One could call it an account, though otherwise we would say "In Bitcoin there are no accounts, but only hashes of a public keys intermixed with some salt" or is that inaccurate?
