"Bitcoin simply asks the question, Are you going to trust a
government or are you going to trust a worldwide system monitored and
maintained by the individuals most concerned with keeping it stable
and valuable?"
Dear Folks,
You've probably heard of it, but if you're like most of us, Bitcoin
is a mystery. This week in the Reno News & Review, Brian Burghart
gives us a long look at the aspiring currency.
In MusicBeat, Brad Bynum profiles a local band that once advertised
its influences as Christmas songs, superhero songs, and TV theme
songs. In our inside-back-cover feature 15 Minutes, Brad also
interviews Laci Bell Crow of the charity Dining for Women.
In Green, Sage Leehey reports on the completion of the long-sought
Nevada power line linking north and south. Bob Grimm will tell us
whether I, Frankenstein is a monster or a dream, and Bruce Van Dyke
offers a defense of Nevada alum Colin Kaepernick. In Arts & Culture,
Clint Demeritt pays a visit to the archery range Washing Arrows. In
news, we report that the unfortunate news surrounding the Galaxy
plane crash memorial grove of trees goes beyond a stolen plaque.
We hope you'll read us this week. Without you, to coin a phrase, we'd
be a bit lost.
Take care,
Dennis Myers
