Deleted content[edit]
@Jytdog: here is the original content with sources relating to the print version.
In 2012, Bitcoin Magazine began publishing a print edition and has been referred to as the first serious publication dedicated to cryptocurrencies.[1] The magazine was mailed to subscribers worldwide, sold at Barnes & Noble, bookstores and published online.[2] Bitcoin magazine was the first magazine dedicated to crypto currency.[2] The magazine was available in 2012 for $9 per month, although many of its articles were also available online for free.[3] Buterin noted he spent 10-20 hours per week writing for the publication.[4]

Which part should we keep? Looks like a lot of non-neutral stripping of some high quality (google books) sources here [1] by Smallbones (talk · contribs) Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 05:34, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
- 1. Where is the material referred to? I certainly can't find it.
- 2. Self-reference from an amateur mag.
- 3. The article is titled "Free Money for Everyone", a real chatty piece with a mention in passing from the Libertarian "Foundation for Economic Education" ending "It’s a small price to pay to circumvent central banking. Are we up for it?" If you put crap like that in as a reference, nobody is going to take you seriously.
- 4. I don't know EducaseReview but that article is super promotional. Blockchain is going to revolutionize education - what a joke!

Abandoned user draft[edit]
Please would an interested editor assess whether the earlier 2014 draft at User:Urbenz/sandbox contains any material that is valid and still useful. If so, please incorporate it and leave a note here. – Fayenatic London 12:31, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- Problem is that it lacks sources. I recall a few years ago this article had more sources, but we later clamped down on the industry sources, and thus there is much less to work with today. I suppose the statement "If you don’t know me (Mihai Alisie), I have been involved with Bitcoin Magazine since its original..." is interesting and encyclopedic, do you have a source for this?

Notability?[edit]
I notice that the extensive list of sources is ... tangential at best. What three sources most clearly illustrate that Bitcoin Magazine is notable in its own right? - David Gerard (talk) 12:37, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- I think most of the notability stems from Vitalik Buterin's association with it as former writer, or editor, what whatever he did. It is the first Bitcoin print publication and is notable in that respect. Publications are often notable for what they cover, not themself. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 20:46, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
Junk sourcing[edit]
Hi, I removed a long of junk sourced content. We are not using bitcoin magazine as a source on its own article, that would be WP:PROMO among other problems. Please note that we are not using cryptocurrency news site sources, such as this one, coindesk, the block, etc on these cryptocurrency articles. Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 08:12, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
