Add this article about state price-suppression attack via futures market #30

here is the article: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/markets/bitcoin-futures-market-explained-price-manipulation

Since the suppression of gold prices by USA through futures market is a known story, some people think this applies also to bitcoin. I guess it's a matter of time until we'll see articles about it in mainstream media. So maybe this article should be added in advance.

What do you think?

I'll add it. It makes some good point. I think it's a shame the writer had to pepper this otherwise eloquent and clear post with political rhetoric about marxists. It makes the tone of the article less inviting to newcomers - people who aren't decided yet - and they are the target audience for EndTheFUD type articles. Reasonable people who haven't yet made up their minds about all this Bitcoin stuff will be distracted and perhaps turned off by completely unnecessary editorial choices like "scumbag marxists" etc.
