I created the best database of notable Bitcoin skeptics on the Internet

[hugeblack]

I thought the topic was a joke about April Fools' Day, so I did not open the topic, but after reading it, I think the site deserves to be bookmarked.

You need to move this topic to the project development^[1] board if you want answers and responses on how the site works.

The website is simple, the data is well arranged, you need to add the night mode, the ability to add videos and visual links, and the ability to search within a specific time range.

Wow, this is a very comprehensive table here, thank you for doing this! At first, I didn't notice that there's an option to sort the data here and wanted to suggest it, but it's great that it's already possible to do this. This is a great project to analyze the negative rhetoric around Bitcoin and how the arguments and points change over time.
I think it would also be cool to have some sort of way to work with notable skeptics who talked about Bitcoin on multiple occasions (like Jamie Dimon). Perhaps a separate page for those guys who talked about Bitcoin negatively on multiple occasions or something like this.

I like how clean the website is. Especially how you can organize the different columns towards what you want, A-Z, Z-A, etc.

Upon checking, I'm not sure but the dates and publisher are correct. Names and some wrong spelling are in it though.

Appreciate the comment, but if you go through the article instead of simply looking at its title and author you'll notice that Olga was just the Bloomberg reporter who wrote the piece. The Bitcoin bear in said article was Nathalie Reinelt.

If you do find legitimate mistakes in names/spelling, please let me know and I will definitely fix them!

There is also another good website about those skeptics, maybe the OP can cross reference it?

Excellent find, I'll add in some of the ones I've missed. Thank you!

It's great of you to have created such very organized compilation. There are probably more of these skeptics than those indicated in your site. If I'm not mistaken, Mark Cuban or Bill Gates, for example, have already voiced their skepticism over Bitcoin.

I don't mean to invalidate the effort that OP has put in this database of skeptics but I don't see any use of it but trying to make these skeptics look hypocritical when they suddenly become more engaged and retract their stance on bitcoin.

It is subjective. It's completely up to you how you interpret their U-turn. But admitting that you were wrong is not so bad after all. Well, provided it is genuine.

For me, I'd readily embrace people who admit they're finally enlightened on Bitcoin. I wouldn't call them hypocrites if they will do an about-face, even this late. On the contrary, they're hypocrites if they still stick to their old criticisms over Bitcoin even in the face of rising adoption and acceptance.

I suspect that even hardcore Bitcoin critics such as Peter Schiff has already some idea that Bitcoin's future may even be brighter. The problem is that one has already strongly identified himself too much as a critic that he feels he cannot anymore jump ship without the risk of being called a turncoat or something. That's a bigger hypocrisy. You are lying to yourself.

After all, who was a complete Bitcoin believer right from the start? Many of us were once skeptics in this Bitcoin thing years ago. Saylor was. CZ was. Even Andreas used to be a skeptic. Vitalik was the same.

Thanks for clearing it out. I was checking it but I didn't seem to see her name. And I checked it again and saw the problem. It's because I'm not registered on their site. Sorry for that confusion.

Is the Job title of Nathalie Reinelt, Analyst, Aite Group? This is what I meant on the spelling etc. Will be on lookout for more.

Actually, one these people who announce/speaks/news of bitcoin being dead was one of the reasons why I started in bitcoin and trying to get every single bit of satoshi on those old days.

Good job on this list/directory btw.
