Yes I felt slightly retarded trying to figure out what the pic was telling me.
I'm sure the author knew what he was trying to achieve with that chart.
Look at the chart through the eyes of the uninitiated. Their immediate response will be "whatever, seems to be too complicated".
Yeah - but confusing the uninitiated is easy, without the extravagance of using nonsense.
This one is just bamboozling even if you do have some understanding of Bitcoin transactions.
Overall I'm happy with the article. I think it's fantastic that it's there and that it's such a big feature and covers so many aspects. I do get the impression the writer's failure to grasp the simplicity of transactions from a user perspective (recipient Bitcoin address, amount, send) made its use to be much more complicated than it actually is, for instance with a blockchain.info wallet and smartphone app. And the infogaphic just exacerbated this.
Also, given the number of precious metals ads in the magazine I'm a little disappointed that there was no talk of Bitcoin in terms of its parallels with PMs and its potential as a store of value. But all things considered it will be interesting to see if this has an impact on demand over the next few weeks/months.
I was told once people on average need to hear of something three times (ideally from three separate media/sources) before they remember it and take enough of an interest to act. For many Emirates travelers it is likely to have been the first time they heard of Bitcoin but for some it may be the magic third. Let's wait and see
That's page 7, not page 9.
