Enjoy one of the first articles on Bitcoin written by MSM:
Some of you can close your eyes and take a trip down memory lane. For the others, late to the party :) , it's a little piece of history.
Notice: The author of the article received this e-mail from an angry early adopter:
"I appreciate PC World finally doing an article about the most revolutionary and amazing new technology of the 21st Century so far --- Bitcoin.
However, this really is lazy journalism.
The article implies that Bitcoin was invented as a RESULT of Wikileaks troubles... as sort of an alternate SOLUTION to Wikileaks donation funding troubles.
That is NOT TRUE.
The truth is: Most "Bitcoin.org Forum" members want no association with Wikileaks whatsoever.
The Creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi, has even made a public plea to Wikileaks NOT to accept donations via Bitcoin.
The truth is quite the opposite from the impression that this story leaves.
Most in the Bitcoin Community do NOT want Bitcoin to be associated with Wikileaks in any way.

Notice 0.1:
Angry as he is, he did not mention this quote from the article: "Bitcoin is the creation of Japanese programmer Satoshi Nakamoto"
Notice 0.2:
Bruce Wagner lost 25.000 BTC in the MyBitcoin scandal, 12 years ago,
Let's wrap it up with some comforting words from an anonymous user:
"Poor guy. I feel sorry for everyone who lost bitcoins, but much respect for Bruce Wagner. He's a credit to the community. He lost 25000BTC and is still committed to bitcoin."
