What's being said about Bitcoin by news sites and other media.
This article lists Bitcoin-related press from the project's creation through October 2011.

Quotes
  • By 2015, cash could be looking like an endangered species.
  • So is Bitcoin the future of money, or is it only of interest to currency fans, cyber-utopians and speculators?

On The Guardian there was a negative and stupidly wrong article [2011-10-18, UK, en]:
Bitcoin value crashes below cost of production as broader use stutters

Quotes
  • the appreciation in value was a speculative bubble, caused by people hoarding the currency, rather than the start of a new (or parallel) economy.
  • With the value of Bitcoins dropping so low, and the computing power required to produce them growing steadily, it is becoming uneconomic to generate more except through the use of hacked computers in "botnets".


July

  • I have to say this part of the whole Bitcoin thing for us did seem really easy. Easier than using a credit card or wiring a friend some money.

Bits and bob

Quotes
  • Now, Friedman's dream has finally been realised—albeit not by a real-world central bank.

The Bitcoin Triples Again

Quotes
  • To recap, it's is a purely online currency with no intrinsic value; its worth is based solely on the willingness of holders and merchants to accept it in trade.
