That's something new. I don't usually browse popular media so I didn't have a chance to see such headline. So far, I have seen articles that warned people against investing in Bitcoin since it's a bubble. No further explanation, just some opinion of "economist" who usually provides information for certain website.

While it is true that most of bitcointalk became bloated with huge amount of people who are spamming only because they want to earn money, there are still sections where you can find useful information and discuss with other, competent members.
