In fairness to the media they went in to overdrive against the bankers when the financial world came crashing down in 2008 resulting in Lehman Brothers collapsing. There was a clear and open anti-
financial institute agenda all over the media but sadly it did not last long enough. A stunning £90 billion worth of value in listed UK companies was lost in one day during the height of the collapse and the UK bailout to its banks was around £500 billion from tax payers money which included buying a huge stake in RBS which they sold later.
We hardly ever see or read anything in the media nowadays about exactly what happened in previous crashes that were attributed to the recklessness of the banking sector.
Keeping that aside, you are spot on about the Bitcoin article in The Guardian, it is poor journalism in general but any large media corporation such as athe BBC news should know better than to regurgitate the same highly debatable information.
Some parts of the media are not putting Bitcoin in a good light to those that might be interested in getting involved with crypto.
Of course not. The media, banks, Wall Street, etc., are all owned by people who have little to gain and a lot to lose from bitcoin's growing dominance. They will never portray it in a good light.
Reporting stuff like this without any investigation is pretty poor journalism, though. You expect it from all the trash that passes as crypto "news" sites, but you expect better from corporations like the BBC. It is an article funded by a bank and based on assumptions with no hard data. It is the equivalent of Philip Morris funding a study saying that if you smoke you look 30% cooler.
