Ok, let me add forbes.com to my "never trust" list... Done.

I wouldn't.  There have been a lot of well written articles by Forbes (the magazine) not to be confused with the personal opinion of Mr Forbes (the person).  Actually the fact that his magazine has been fairly even handed when writing about Bitcoin despite the owner's very obvious bias and lack of knowledge is a good thing.  It shows the magazine enjoys a level of journalistic independence.   

I'll give it a second chance then Smiley
But the words "We don’t really know how this coin is created." are quite worrying for Mr Forbes IQ and professionalism, quite clearly.

Steve Forbes inherited the magazine from his dad (and his dad's dad), he's a yammering idiot with money.
I mean, "A mile has 5280 feet" - are you f**king kidding me?  He means to say "a dollar is always worth a dollar"?
LOLZ a dollar from 2013 is not even worth what a penny was in 1945...

Michael Moore (not saying I'm a fan) made some good points about his failed 1996 US presidential campaign:
