Here are the Forbes.com stories I collected for my short list, although I easily had more than double this number available from Forbes. Most of the other Forbes stories were of the type 'bitcoin will go {up/down/sideways : choose a direction}'.
- 2018-07-06: Are Bitcoin, Crypto Markets Rigged?
- 2018-07-09: New Paper Reveals Massive Bitcoin Backing • 'Digital currencies are primed for mass adoption'
- 2018-07-11: Bitcoin's Computing Power Growth Is Outpacing The Bitcoin Price
- 2018-07-12: Canadian Central Bank Bitcoin Survey Reveals Worrying Crypto Trends • 'Though [Canadians] are increasingly aware of bitcoin and cryptocurrency, they aren't using it.'
- 2018-07-13: Bitcoin Is A Logarithmic Asset • 'Bitcoin and crypto have been growing and behaving logarithmically. This is a field mark of viral growth.'
- 2018-07-15: Does The Russian Indictment Exonerate Bitcoin? • 'indictment of 12 Russian operatives [...] and the use of bitcoin as a means of payment'
- 2018-07-21: Bitcoin And Stellar Get A Big Boost From IBM's 'Stable Coin'
- 2018-07-22: EU Issues Worrying Warning Over Future Of Bitcoin • 'Bitcoin and other decentralised cryptocurrencies could be derailed by the world's central banks.'
Of those stories, increasing power consumption and the Russian indictments were reported on by a number of other news outlets. Two other stories also attracted wider interest than other stories:-
- 2018-07-01: Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto May Be Writing A Book
- 2018-07-26: Winklevoss twins bitcoin ETF rejected by SEC
As I write this, the price of bitcoin has dropped back into the low $6000s. I'll cover that in next month's Bitcoin in the News.
