It's not at all as if Nick Weaver is the only computer scientist skeptical about Bitcoin. Would you have felt better if they quoted several more?



Yes, thats the point I'm trying to make.

I don't think he's the only one, obviously. But the way the wrote the article and presented it makes it seem like 1 computer scientists opinion = numerous market analysts and companies.

It's unbalanced. Not to mention, why does a computer scientist have significantly more weight than market analysts, when talking about market prices and predictions.

Perhaps Weaver is uniquely qualified for predicting markets in regards to Bitcoin. If so, great. Tell the reader why I should weigh his opinion more heavily than Facebook, Twitter, and (again in their words) several market analysts.
