I fail to see how they can claim "bitcoin" to be a reasonable inclusion in a dictionary. Is gnutella a word? Is BluRay a word? You can spell them, but they're not useful in literature, or at least if you find product placement in a novel, you likely made a bad choice. Do these people have nothing better to do? Who pays for this nonsense?

Not really a "press article", but seems to fit here.
