Of course that totally falls on its face since there isn't any one person controlling anything - more of a global consensus than a secret circle of 'rulers'. But I suppose they need to demonize bitcoin somehow, and that is a pretty easy jump for them.

It is so much easier than actually learning somthing and also makes the critic feel superior. Unfortunately, there have been people like this as long as there have been people and I don't think that is going to change any time soon. :-\ |
