the article is about western union. so not news worthy, althogh i do find it funny that people do try to grab any small thread or glimmer of mentioning money tothen turn it into a big deal about bitcoin..

even the OP is doing it, not only media..

summary, after reading the words western union 5 times you realise that its not a big bitcoin story..

Agreed that it's not a BIG Bitcoin bad story but why the heck would they throw anything in there about Bitcoin? Man the mass media is so into fear mongering. Whatever sells...like you ever see the local news, every story is a negative/scary one.

A Great Time to Start Something!

I do not approve, but (supposedly) hard core kiddie porn is very popular among the top-level ruling class.

Bloomberg are pillars of the ponzi bankster architecture
Negative slant not really a shocker tbh

Disappointing, especially after the hype generated when they added the Bitcoin ticker to their system. But that said, Bitcoin doesn't need any support from Bloomberg to get popular.

Nothing new. Do peadophiles even need to actually pay for cp anyway? I imagine there's places on the darknet that host it for free. I'm also sure they buy this sort of stuff with paypal and other payment processors too.

How stupid..

"" While credit-card payments for child porn on the public Internet have plummeted, huge amounts of material have moved underground, and are often paid for using anonymous wire transfers and the bitcoin virtual currency. ""

I love how they make general sweeping statements like this. Really good PR for us... sigh.

It just sucks because we don't have a 20 billion dollar news media(or whatever the heck it is) giving us good PR. You know? So I guess we gotta do all we can, grass roots movement with some financial backing and believers. CoinDesk is helpful for sure, but sometimes a little off putting for my tastes. I feel like CoinDesk talks at a higher level so a normal person wouldn't really want to read anything there. I was off put by CoinDesk in the beginning days of my discovering Bitcoin because I didn't really understand anything I was reading there. It is fine we got technical details and blah there, but they need some more Joe Schmo dumbing down of articles for the (dumb)masses. lol.
