We still have awhile to go! At least in other mainstream media it is to catching on but it's still annoying when they try to use "blockchain" for the wording instead of bitcoin.

Corporate television media drag their feet about decentralised cryptocurrency at their peril. The message that their information is not as accurate as doing your own internet research is really starting to hit home finally, and this will only be yet one more example of an issue that turns out differently in reality to how an organisation like ABC choose to present it.

Haha this is funny, my best friend lives in San Diego and we were just in Skype and he was telling me about this. Now I come here and first thing that I see is about this.

It's a shame who gets to talk about everything on TV. I don't think this is even a bashing on purpose, this looks more like an ignorance to me.

Corporate tv still caters to the old farts that don't leave their house and have no clue about the world.

The idea though is to pick them up as they're transforming into old farts (aged 30-50), so they at least have to appear credible to the life weary/plain dull out of that demographic. Point mostly taken though, they ultimately only care about herding the opinions of old folks.
