The Bitcoin Maze
This post was released for Issue 15 of Bitcoin Magazine as part of a series of articles about puzzles and games that started with Issue 12. Time for maze crawling!

A search for "Bitcoin" on the foundation's website returns a maze of headlines going back to 2010, leading every-which-way.
