"Tulsa World" Huh

Must have a different definition of "notable".

Unfortunately it's more serious FUD than that. Because it's from AP, it's picked up by every rag whose editor needs filler copy. Google "ap bitcoin miner takeover" and be amazed at how pervasive the story is.

Nasty propaganda mechanism - that one might not even notice if it weren't for a BTC story.

Good point. Terrible reporting.

Some more misinformation to try to hurt the BTC currency. {Wheels at work, to save fiat} Conspiracy theory. Wink

Do you not find it strange, that there is no author, only Associated press? And nobody has commented on the article?

We should go on there, and expose the truth! The BTC price, did not drop because of the Ghash situation, it dropped only 6% because of the influx of Fed coins.

Simply more coins coming in and less demand. People with little knowledge, having a podium to peddle their own propaganda.
