When did Bitcoin become sentient and able to give presentations to banks? And when did it get its own website?
The entity in question is some Thai company called "Bitcoin Co., Ltd". Apparently they operate (or, well, used to operate) a currency exchange.
Whoever wrote the article was either pretty confused, or didn't realize that conflating Bitcoin as a whole with this Thai currency exchange would be pretty confusing to readers.
Agreed - My impression was that whoever wrote the article was in a rush to publish the sensationalist news, and didn't want to waste time making sure they got their facts straight.
