Title: Mainstream Media Starting to Get It?

Their headline is: Bitcoin is not just digital currency. It's Napster for finance. (In the article he says it's not really Napster for finance)

The more the mainstream media reports like this the better.

Political idealists project visions of liberation and revolution onto it; establishment elites heap contempt and scorn on it.

On the other hand, technologists – nerds – are transfixed by it. They see within it enormous potential and spend their nights and weekends tinkering with it.

Any intelligent rational person would see the benefits of Bitcoin / cryptos, but unfortunately the naive, fear-worshipping masses will always believe the media propaganda.
