Title: Top Bitcoin Lies explained by Chico Crypto
Post by: serjent05 on June 16, 2019, 11:12:34 AM
I believe it is best to know the top lies about Bitcoin if we wanted to dwell or invest in it.  There is no harm in knowing what other famous people say against Bitcoin and why they are wrong.  In this video published by Chico Crypto he discuss stuff about lies that were spread about Bitcoin and give reason why they are not true.  Good thing is he already broken the video into time stamp links wherein it is listed as follows.

While most of these statements are definitely not factual, I don't think most are lies per se. I think most are just just statements that are mostly assumptions without actual proof to back their statements made by people who don't know better and are just ignorant on what Bitcoin is trying to achieve.

Decent video though.

The problem with statement that is based on assumption oftens degrades the subject and often brings FUD on the table.  I agree with you but most people who are not knowledgeable about Bitcoin gets a wrong impression because someone like Warren Buffet stated that Bitcoin is something like "rat poison2" and think of Bitcoin negatively.  I believe it is important for us especially those who wanted to engage in business using blockhain tech provided by Bitcoin to counter these kinds of argument with facts or good reasoning.
