The smallest of nits to pick, but Readability has issues with the "images as text" behavior of the variables and numbers in the crypto parts of the post.
Otherwise, I'm very sorry that I didn't find this until after Thanksgiving. As many of you are likely similarly tagged, I'm the "computer" guy in the family, and so whenever something happens in the news that's got anything to do with computers, I'm the guy people bug for answers.
Bitcoin was the topic de jour this Thanksgiving, and my explanations would have benefitted greatly from this plain-English run-through.
Fortunately, after having read this, I now will be able to give people the deluxe explanation, should they make the fatal mistake of asking. :) Thanks.

Yeah, and I find they're more difficult to read. Anyone have suggestions for a good solution, which still allows for image fallback?
