In a statement on its website, Bitcoin said it had given a presentation to the Bank of Thailand about how the currency works in a bid to operate in the country.

When did Bitcoin become sentient and able to give presentations to banks? And when did it get its own website?
I took that to mean the Bitcoin Foundation... just assuming, though.

I took it to mean that the journalist replaced 'Bitcoin Co. Ltd' with just 'Bitcoin', which could be quite misleading to the uninformed reader.

Yes, i took it to mean that too. But a misleading article nonetheless.

This clears it up a bit!
