Just FYI, the Financial Times is one of the world's leading business news and information organisations.

Your grandma might not have heard of it, but anyone with money or influence has, which is why this might be a good thing for Bitcoin (so far I think it's fair to say the FT has been negative on Bitcoin, but it's only a matter of time).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Times

Oh, and The Economist is 50% owned by the FT.

Again, how many do you think will "discover" Bitcoin with FT?

If they have money and influence, my guess is that they already know what it is.

Not necessarily true. While it does have a great chance (especially after being in the news) a lot of people, even after hearing about it, still don't understand what it is or why it matters.

“My goal is to get rich,” says Jonathan Mohan, blunt as you like.

I stopped reading after this. If your goal is to get rich doing bitcoins, your doing it for the wrong reasons. Getting rich was a by product, and people like this don't believe in bitcoin like other people on this forum do. They even labeled him as a "Bitcoin promoter", this is insane.

The "get rich" mentality is also what is the most detrimental. These are the people who help raise it up a bit, then all of a sudden dump and move on, leaving behind a wake of destruction.

Nope, never saw it before. Which is my point.

While Bitcoin has been constantly on Techcrunch, Hacker News, Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, The Economist, Forbes, Mises Institute, 4chan, Radio ads, and national TV news in many countries.
Oh, and special 30 minutes reports on China's national TV.

My coworkers and my parents' coworkers have heard of Bitcoin.
Even my grandparents heard of Bitcoin!
We aren't a year ago anymore...

How much readers are now seeing FT through this forum, reddit, or other affiliated Bitcoin platforms, compared to the number of readers who are just discovering Bitcoin with FT?

Huh You mean Financial Times might get more publicity from US? Or their "magazine" weekly edition. You do know what FT is, right?

Well, hopefully this article gets a few wealthy people interested then they decide to buy a good amount, which with then bump the price and all the other wealthy guys just watching it out of curiosity will see the crazy gains that can be made in such a short period of time and then they decide to join in the "fun" and we have another crazy week or two of skyrocketing prices as greed takes over.

That would be nice anyways.  Grin

Well my Mucus old sport, there is no fun in trading if you can't deliberate over when to purchase. Besides, I'm interested in seeing what will happen this coming Sunday.

As for you Frozenlock, Financial times is a very well known publication in investment circles. Audience is not a concern.

I'm feeling the price will explode upwards once market sentiment against the manipulators is forgotten about or so predictable that the whales end up losing money.

This news is very bullish, our market cap is so small that even 1% investment from some of the FT whales would prop us up at least $20.

I have 100 BTC in a cold wallet, sue me. This beats playing flash games at work.  Cool
Too bad I thought you had 10,000 USD available to buy coins...

I do...I could also sell my silver and car, have around 20k available. Would that make you happy? I'll looking for a good low point brother... add to my total bitcoins then come back in a month!

Do you really think I care about what you say? I don't care. Yes I made a lot of bitcoins when they were like $5, but that wasn't the main reason I was here. If that is the first thing that comes out your mouth then you to me are just another one of these get rich quick people and probably leave soon anyway. I have also done a lot for the community and I am not going to sit here and list out what I have done, but since your new, I wouldn't hold against you.
You are so righteous!  Wink

What's wrong with trying to get rich, ya socialist weenie? Not everyone is in the bitcoin cult, sorry  Tongue
Honestly, thinking like that is not going to get you anywhere. Venture capitalists are needed to help build the infrastructure needed for wider adoption. And venture capitalists don't invest because they are "bitcoin beliebers" and they are part of the Gweedo Cult where nobody should try to get rich, everyone should just give everyone else their money and BELIEEEEVVVEEE. Venture capitalists invest because... they are rich, and they are trying to get richer.

Good luck with the socialist bitcoin cult mentality, though. At least it's amusing.  Roll Eyes

There is nothing "wrong" with trying to turn a profit.

Then he shouldn't be labeled a bitcoin promoter. I am wealthy from bitcoins, and I could retire, but I don't cause I am so passionate about it. I think if your doing bitcoins just to get rich, you are not here for the right reasons. That is my opinion. I see that you don't like when people have opinions against your opinion. You need to work on that.
He probably should; he is just not promoting your own limited vision. The thing is, bitcoin is not your little pet project. It is not going to be what you fantasize that it will. It is what others make it. Keep telling people that you're righteous and they're not. It only marginalizes you and (in its small way) perpetuates the perception of bitcoiners as a cult. Bitcoins are useless to me as currency; I have dollars and more versatile payment systems for that. You don't like people like me? Watch what happens if all the speculators leave the market.

It is opinion dude, get over yourself LMAO. Let the speculators leave, I made my money off of them doing panics sells and buys LMAO

What is the ft magazine?
financial times

its site seem pretty popular
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/ft.com#

Some newspapers have a free small format "magazine" in them on weekends, and a TV program on Wednesday. Is that it?
