Title: PR opportunity on WSJ...
Post by: pseudoscops on March 02, 2015, 01:45:08 pm
The counterargument part of the this WSJ article appears to hinge on the fact that Bitcoin is volatile and not backed by anything:

There are only 4 comments in the comment section at present. If someone has a WSJ account then perhaps it might be worth logging in and mentioning how BitShares solves the volatility problem. I expect this will get a lot of eyes today in light of the the imminent release of Barry Silbert's Bitcoin Investment Trust.

Nice find.  I tried in 4 different browsers but the commenting won't load.  Seems like it has to be a paid account despite having social login options.
