MY LETTER TO THE AUTHOR OF THE ARTICLE:   ( <keir@keirthomas.com>  author of   goo.gl/n0UQt )

I appreciate PC World finally doing an article about the most revolutionary and amazing new technology of the 21st Century so far --- Bitcoin.

However, this really is lazy journalism.

The article implies that Bitcoin was invented as a RESULT of Wikileaks troubles...  as sort of an altrernate SOLUTION to Wikileaks donation funding troubles.

That is NOT TRUE.

The truth is:  Most "Bitcoin.org Forum" members want no association with Wikileaks whatsoever.

The Creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi, has even made a public plea to Wikileaks NOT to accept donations via Bitcoin.

The truth is quite the opposite from the impression that this story leaves.

Most in the Bitcoin Community do NOT want Bitcoin to be associated with Wikileaks in any way.
