Washington Post: 'R.I.P. Bitcoin. It’s time to move on'

[CuntChocula]

What a poorly written piece of crap article this is.. I would expect more from the mainstream media.. It is like it is written by one of the crypto news sites.

Somebody is really trying hard to reduce the price of BTC...... and failing

[Herbert2020]

another day and another nonsense from media about bitcoin. it looks to me like whenever there is any movement in bitcoin, they increase their attacks on bitcoin.
it is more harmful to bitcoin than anything else.

[Lucius]

And it is more than obvious that a good deal of media works against the Bitcoin,probably are sponsored by the banking sector which is not exactly happy that Bitcoin becomes something serious in the financial world.Every time it happens that price drop they go with their black forecasts.

[~Bitcoin~]

Time will tell... These kind of articles have been around since many years ago, and they mean nothing to the growth of bitcoin.

I think now the people who are in bitcoin trading know quite enough not to get manipulated by those articles. Some new traders may get affected but bitcoin market will not die with only articles.

[samsads]

yes .... this makes it as "bitcoin died 90 Times" ... lol

These people are tying so hard.... hope they dont leak early...



 

[onlinedragon]

They are just speculating about what will happen I don't mind what they are thinking. So far Bitcoin still exist there are enough people who support Bitcoin.

[Rotator]

So, when exactly Washington Post become expert for virtual currencies?
I do not believe in their political and economic judgments, much less in their judgment about Bitcoin.
They are really funny

Just remember what did say Rothschild!

Just remember once Bitcoin soars up again with some giant merchant implementing it for payments

You do know that the number of BTC-accepting merchants hasn't increased, and http://www.coindesk.com/is-bitcoins-merchant-appeal-fading/ , right?

it has to do with all the rencet news probably, and anyway there are only two real merchants remained, amazon and ebay, the other even if they not accept bitcoin never, no one would care about

anyway, i'm not expecting bitcoin to be embraced by any single shop out there, especially phisical shop, don't dream too much on certain things..

Think again, Overstock, Newegg and Tigerdirect are considerably medium to big sized merchants. They need not be physical, but even if they are it isn't really dreaming big, it's very much possible.... I say keep dreaming big

Also since you mentioned that amazon and ebay were the only two real merchants remaining, think about Alibaba Group.

Of all the companies mentioned, Overstock is the only one which made claims of actually holding a portion of "BTC payments" in BTC.
All use payment processors, and are actually getting paid in USD, not BTC.

Nowadays, newspaper are unfortunatly written to sell the most. What I still don't understand is why, with all those clowns repeating the same thing again and again, people don't get tired of hearing of Bitcoin's multiple deaths. I think that people will understand that if they see again and again that Bitcoin died, it means that it survided his last death. After a few times, I hope that they will  understand that each time that it is supposetly dead, it isn't.

[thejaytiesto]

The paid FUDsters must be really busy, lately they are working at an alarm pace, it shows they are really scared of Bitcoin being a success so they are going all-in into the FUD departments, the filthy pigs wouldn't shut it up about Bitcoing dying. We will hit 100 times Bitcoin RIP in https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoinobituaries/ this year, a nice milestone.

[virtualdn]

paid article. doesn't mean a thing. bitcoin will still live many years to come

[maku]

First of all it is all in your mind. Bitcoin is still the best, the biggest and won't fall because some angry developer is dissatisfied that his solutions were not accepted.
Bitcoin will change if we really would need that change asap, for now it seems that network capable of surviving for now despite fatalism of Haern.

[btcdevil]

Yeah that's exactly how the media perceives it and tries to communicate it with the outside world. Just cause someone feels Bitcoin isn't going on the right path, they have worded their article to make it seem like Bitcoin's really dead.

Just remember once Bitcoin soars up again with some giant merchant implementing it for payments - "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

This is the 90th time that Bitcoin has died so far.

I like both the comments. It is always that which thing we ignore most that thing one day will come big in their face. In over society their is a proverb that before anyone dies if anyone rumours their death then that person lives some more time, like this they can cheat the death, the same way when ever some one tells that Bitcoin is death that is a boon to Bitcoin and it will boom more soon .

Why but who are really have full knowledge about bitcoin they know that actual fact about bitcoin and they wont get affected by this rumors, this all games played by big players so that low traders will panic and sell their bitcoins and market get some crash , so that they can cash in some price fluctuation and buy back in low price.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

Uh oh, get the paddles.

Clear! "Zaaap"

beep beep beep

Ok, I get a pulse.

[unamis76]

Usual mainstream media coverage on Bitcoin... Should be ignored, as usual.

People are singing (and some want to sing) Bitcoin goodbye too early... Maybe they have suggestions or something already working to replace it

Anyways, cheap coin here I go!
