A great article.
I also really like image accompanying the article
The "IN NO ONE WE TRUST" in negative space is very clever. Reminds us of the dollar ("In God we trust") but emphasizes the differences. With bitcoin you don't need to trust anyone to know that the bitcoin you receive is good - no counterfeit bitcoins, no central banker to inflate your savings to zero purchasing power, no third party that can arbitrarily stop your transaction, no bureaucrats that can decide to seize your money to bail out others. No trust necessary, just math based rules.

There is a sort of offhanded reference to being able to do illegal things near the end of the article, but he pretty much glosses over that aspect of bitcoins.

Great article 
I love how bitcoin has taken off in the recent months. Bitcoin miners time spent is finally being paid off.

Anybody know how big the readership for this publication is?
Wikipedia says just under a million for the print edition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusinessWeek
Can probably figure at least that for online.

I've been collecting articles on my blog post, and I have to agree this is one of the best ones I've read. My favorite quote:
Yes.
This.
I care more about this than I do about the current price.

Bitcoin is a hedge against the entire global currency system.
Yes.
This.
I care more about this than I do about the current price.

I'm a permabull, and this article gave me goosebumps
see you at $100 tomorrow morning!
Tomorrow morning? I'm not sure it will take that long...
More seriously, this is probably the best article about bitcoin that I have read, bar none. There were no blatent errors in the entire article, and there were none of the very common myths about bitcoin. That it showed up on Bloomberg BusinessWeek is even better.
