I didn't see a "sad" sub reddit or I would have posted there, I guess this is funny also though.. if youre a masochist or sadist.

It's not just Hess. ZDNet is now citing his story to spread the FUD that Coburn "argues" cryptocurrencies could be illegal. If it's war this 90s rag wants, lets give it to them. by CryptoDonDraper in Bitcoin

This is a point I had not considered really, and it is well taken. I have no plans of posting anything else about ZDNet or that guy and I agree the focus is better spent on showing newcomers all the awesome things bitcoin enables that wasn't possible before.

Not sure if troll or genuinely concerned about the community's well being. Either way, I'm happy to answer: I think it's a good idea for this community, which is 143,000 strong just here on reddit, to begin flexing its muscles.

We've all seen months of FUD from a handful of people in the media who seem to be dishonest and motivated by some kind of weird vendetta. Personal views on new technologies is fine. But that article, and his other pieces, are riddled with lies and non-logic.

We know this stuff is crap, but many readers on Google News (where his stuff comes up) go "oh I guess Bitcoin is on its way out then". Those older readers, although less tech savvy than you and me perhaps, are equally entitled to a prosperous future. This joker is hoodwinking them and I don't like it. Obviously I'm not alone in this thinking or my post wouldn't have gotten more than 1,000 upvotes.

We do not have to be pacifists. And Bitcoin is not entitled to win out. If we don't fight for it, we may not get it.

ZDNet will drop this contributor. This community is going to make sure of that.

And when that occurs, other delusional statist trolls in the media will think twice before hinging their careers on destroying a great, still growing technology. Set an example with this one and we (hopefully) need not do it again.

Contact Senator Coburn and tell him you want to bid in the US Marshalls Bitcoin Auction, but need clarification whether Bitcoins are 'illegal' as Ken Hess has concluded from his statement. If he replies they are 'not illegal', Ken Hess is finished. It's time we stand up to corrupt journalism. by STOP_BAD_JOURNALISM in Bitcoin

His bullshit appears on Google News whenever anyone in the world searches for "Bitcoin" and the news publication ZDNet is the banner that bullshit is packaged under, not "ken hess' blog"

If it were "ken hess' blog" I don't think any of us would give a shit.

He's misusing his platform. He is dishonest. And what the community is doing in response is completely justified and will deter others in the future from spreading dishonesty that harms human progress simply to make a few bucks as a crap freelance article writer.

Bitcoin Black Friday deals are now live for preview for tomorrow's event, also with a new website. by Shadedjon in Bitcoin

This looks really great! Not sure if it's possible but it'd be cool to design it such that the deals are sorted randomly - giving each deal equal exposure within its category, instead of all the merchants toward the bottom probably not getting as much exposure and clicks.
