The BBE article.  It gives me an error.  Even after getting rid of the word "List" at the end.  I even tried Googling the title, and it still gave me an error.

Thanks!

Something interesting I saw.  He said Bitcoins aren't backed up by gold.  Damn.  He actually gave an indirect nod to the gold standard, thereby making the article unusually tame in that regard. XD
