Who are Coindesk's journalists??? Ugh, for the millionth time corration =/= causation
You're right about the probable correlation irrelevance, but I found the piece worth reading despite both that and occasional grammatical oddities - I got the impression the author's first language is not English.
The piece seemed to undercut its own sensationalism with "people who believe that some currencies should be out of government hands should in fact be buying Bitcoins as a result of the past week’s news."
This snippet caught my eye also: “There is a massive apparatus within the United States government that with complete secrecy has been building this enormous structure that has only one goal, and that is to destroy privacy and anonymity, not just in the United States but around the world,” said Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian reporter speaking on CNN. “That is not hyperbole. That is their objective.”
Assuming that is true - what would follow from it? What should a person do, especially in the context of
BTC? Things are heating up.
