Seriously.
I'm critical of Bitcoin too - but in a positive way.
I try to be realistic about it's weaknesses - for the sake of reason and progress.
But, Jesus H. Christ.
Many of the articles about Bitcoin that I have read lately from the lamestream media
have been absolutely fucking reprehensible.
Loaded with bullshit and lies.
It's like they want it to fail.
I have actually read articles by financial gurus that have absolutely no fucking idea what Bitcoin is.
I don't think they even tried.
The things the public are being told about Bitcoin by these clowns could very well cheat people from being a part of something so liberating.
Makes me wonder about the other shit they report on.
Is objectivity dead in journalism?

Relax, buy more while the price is low and be happy.

Anyone who followed Ron Paul's campaign closely last election (also the one before) will not be surprised by this. The negative journalism and outright lies were reprehensible. Of course his big issue is about the dangers of central banking. Can't have a candidate upsetting the status quo gravy train.
We are stabbing at the heart of the beast; don't expect any help from the presstitutes. They will go down kicking and screaming.

They're just hoping on the story bandwagon. You can't expect them to like Bitcoin; the media loves bad news and they have no reason to naturally "like" Bitcoin.

I've tried to explain Bitcoin to bankers, MBAs, middle managers, and small business owners. Very few really understand Bitcoin. Perhaps there needs to be a scientific brain study to determine what part of the brain it is. Someone needs to invent a pill that turns on the Bitcoin part of the brain. Until then, just enjoy the good fortune that allows you to grok Bitcoin.

It's the same part involved with getting into libertarianism, conspiracy theories and new age stuff for sure.

Real journalism has been all but dead in many places for years, particularly mainstream US television. It isn't just Bitcoin. This is partly a result of a tiny number of media companies dominating the US whereas there used to be many.

Bitcoins need to age more, old people aren't even capable opening their browsers. They will probably never use Bitcoin in its current state.

No surprise, they are zombies and can only follow "guidelines" and checklists. They are unable to focus their attention on something that takes more than 30 seconds to understand. If you want them to understand at least very basic principles of bitcoin, you have to make a presentation with big pictures like those in elementary schools .
