I love stories written like this:

After holding in a range of $900 to $1,000 for most of 2014, Bitcoin prices dropped as low as $500 before recovering slightly to around $700 on Monday.
"Most of 2014" .. you mean for 38 or 39 days? I keep listening to crap like this on the radio: "Lowest/highest/worst/best in the last three years" -- for something that happens once a year ..

Reporters need to get some perspective before making "statistical" statements.
