Bitcoin in the News : 2016-09

September was a quiet month for bitcoin, both on this blog and in general. After posting Bitcoin in the News : 2016-08, I managed only to highlight a New Online Bitcoin Course followed by two posts on the old course.

As for general news, at least half of the stories served by Google alerts had to do with bitcoin price action -- which was a yawner as far as I could tell -- and the other half were lists like The 5 Greatest Moments in Bitcoin History (cointelegraph.com). No.1 was 'The Dawn of The Bitcoin Era (31 October 2008 - 12 February 2009)' -- who could have guessed that would be first? -- and you can read the article for the nos. 2 through 5.

As for 'news' -- with emphasis on the 'new' portion of the word -- the newsiest story was probably about bitcoin on the small screen: How Sony's New Show 'Startup' Gets Bitcoin Right (fortune.com):-

It was only a matter of time until someone made a TV show featuring bitcoin. Well, that show is here in the form of a 10-episode series called Startup, and, frankly, it does a good job of depicting the weird world of crypto-currency.

That story -- one of several about the show -- was complete with an embedded video and links to reviews. And that -- he said parenthetically -- was that!
