 Good article but I find it strange when people in the Bitcoin/Nostr community post these as if this is an actual Forbes journalist writing it. This is an opinion piece from a frequent commentator using their platform. They even say that the opinions expressed are the authors and the authors alone. 
 Precisely. 
And it’s not exactly new for Roger Huang to be talking about bitcoin, either. He’s been a Forbes contributor since 2019, submitting monthly, and sometimes weekly.

I guess it’s just that most people are fired up about Nostr and impressed to see it talked about on a widely known media site. But, let’s see if this article does numbers. Say 10k+ views?  That would be impressive. 
 I know. But when most people see it, they still see “Forbes”. And they don’t let anyone become a contributor.
