The author of this article does not know how bitcoin works and maybe tried to explain bitcoin to other people who don't know well how bitcoin is made and what the bitcoin multi-signature and private keys are. Is there any place to report this as a false article, misinforming the audience?

This its just another article paid from the credit companies, as banks and maybe some others companies that lost some costumers to bitcoin, this will never end even if bitcoin reach 2000 dollars value, those magazines wanna to sell and they know we crypto community will buy it to read, there isnt any new significant at the real world to they talk about? If they wanna help about bitcoin just come here and ask, im sure the people will be able to explain and clear any question around bitcoin.

At this point there is simply no regard for making sure anything is factually accurate anymore, and a lot of it is just based on either shock value or a half-assed attempt at applying some knowledge that the journalist attempts to apply to whatever the article is.

This goes for most things these days, and I don't think it will change anytime soon.

lol - cracks me up every time.  Look at Yuji Nakamura  twitter: ynakamura56; and Lulu Yilun Chen twitter: luluyilun.

How fucking dumb and wrong can you get?!  lol.  



Here is their story on Bitcoin keys/hack.  http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-11/bitcoin-hack-upends-world-of-700-yields
There is so much wrong in here, clearly their boss has made no effort whatever to be sure this isn't crap.  They just write whatever they want.  

Journalism is at the lowest integrity level of all time.


"Every bitcoin is created with a private key" - No.  This is not true.  Misrepresents the nature between keys and bitcoin.  Should be keys and addresses.

"Every time bitcoin is sent, the private key changes its value"  - lol  No.  Not true.  A private key never changes its value.  

"So you cannot re-use old private keys."  lol.  No. Wrong again.  Totally wrong.

"Multi signature effectively breaks each private key into multiple pieces."  No.  Not true.  Not even close to true!

"You need a majority of the pieces to move the bitcoin"  Not true.  Totally false.  Multi sig and do a 2/10 for example.  

Journalists don't even bother trying at all to get it right.  Any competent proof reader would have told these two buffoons they are idiots.  Quit making shit up!  If you want to be a writer, you have to write stuff that is true.  Don't just make up a bunch of shit and publish it as if it were true.  These writers have no understanding whatever of bitcoin keys.  They need to go do a story on flowers.  Bloomberg should be embarrassed to put their name on such low grade garbage.

Well the first point is kinda true since they do land somewhere

The second one is just poor writing skills; I believe they were trying to say the balance changes, as in monetary value. If any other intention was met, then yes they're wrong

The other three are really just journalistic incompetence that show a clear lack of due diligence or integrity

"Ermahgah there was a big bitcoin hack who wants to write about it"

"I'll do it"

"But do you even know how the system works"

"Nope but it'll sound legit trust me"

I swear a lot of these magazines just copy and paste stories like this and run with it. Was reading a magazine on some book write up when I had that thought I had read this article already,but the magazine was new that week. It was word for word and Bloomberg has a tendency to do this a lot that I noticed. Their bitcoin articles always smell of not really proofing the story and just running with it.
