Very interesting... I often wonder just how many stories we read in mainstream media are just "leveraged" from some Average Joe's blog a journalist happened to read... eerily similar, though.
I'm still trying to wrap myself around these Bitcoin forks and how the way they seem to create value basically "out of thin air" is really much different from governments printing fiat at will. I could understand there being a fork, and people having to choose A or B... but getting a full load of both? That's borderline shady... at least to me. What am I missing?
And you aren't missing anything. It is money printing. Just under a different name. A way for bitcoin holders to enrich themselves even fast that the price appreciation alone. Greed always kills in the end though...
I would imagine a lot of them are... Though when people are reporting news it is often pretty similar, no matter what source it comes from. Just with their own unique spin on it. :)
