LOL.

"Bitcoin will continue to be the currency of choice for drug dealers, conspiracy theorists, and loony enthusiasts who really should get a life … and a job."

See 2nd bullet point from bottom of page.

Remember that Bitcoin is still beta software. Don't put all of your money into BTC!

if thats all someones got to say about bitcoin, clearly he didnt spend more than 15 minutes to study bitcoins.
and he talks like he defines it and he knows it.
ppl like these wont get far in life anyways..geez he even wrote a book i see at the bottom of the article. and this is all he has to say about bitcoins?
how are we going to rely on the media with dumbass writers like this.
im not hating because he criticized bitcoin but really... "Bitcoin will continue to be the currency of choice for drug dealers, conspiracy theorists, and loony enthusiasts who really should get a life … and a job." is this all he can say about the blockchain and btc.
wow that some white guy

Agreed.  That guy seems to have a chip on his shoulder when it comes to bitcoin.  Maybe he got burned by a scammer or something?

Nobody watches Fox Business much less read their back benchers website for any meaningful commentary on anything. This writer is just someone that is hoping to go brash on something that seems to be down and out yet not knowing shit outside of the surface level. He'll be another disgraced nit wit when the champagne bottles start popping coming up here at some point.

BTC is not and has never been the currency of choice for drug dealers nor terrorists.

The drug business is in billions and most of it is done with US $. Islamists are boycotting Apple and they have no interest in the Internet of things nor anything attractive to geeks like BTC.

I wish someone could tell this journalist about it.

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

It can be. They only see bitcoin on one side, they won't learn more about bitcoin.

The phrase First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win comes to mind. Obviously we know what they're saying isn't true and is just essentially fud so disregard it and keep doing that drug dealing and conspiracy theorizing lol.
