On: Bitcoin's Black Friday

I am not saying to trust LulzSec, but to address this information? Also the price is roughly 24 hours old. I don't think this article deserves to find its way on the front of Hacker News, by the time it did, the information contained in would be 36 hours old and the numbers cited off by a factor of 4.

Although I must admit, the Financial Times covering bitcoin is news in itself.

"36 hours old and the numbers cited off by a factor of 4"

Just what I want in my currency . . .

I am not advocating or attacking bitcoin.

Yeah, bitcoin is getting some high level interest, unquestionably.
