HaHa

I loved those slutty outfits she would wear. That worked great for her in her 20s and 30s. In her 60s not so much.

That's what the Washington Post needs now. Since their journalistic integrity is gone they should just put porn on the cover.

Bitcoin is here to prove that without FED saving the world, everything will still back to order

FED bought lots of assets with nothing when everyone was in panic, now same trick is going to play again to create another panic (first in petroleum and then everything else) and they will buy a whole lot more this time with money out of thin air Cheesy

The USD inflation judged by base money supply is 6000% since 2008, but banks cover that by using M2 or M3 as measurement, and those are just numbers in bank's database, just like your bitcoins in an exchange, it can be any numbers banks want it to be, they could easily lend to each other multiple times to create lots of those numbers, and they could repay each other to remove those numbers

a lot of bla bla and non senses. how did you buy Bitcoin(if you did it) ? did you work for it or how? with fiat currency, right?

So, keep your bullshits regarding to FED and USD. Sell everything you have and buy Bitcoin and live your live by using it.

Be an example for all of us! Smiley

do you have to be an expert to use Bitcoin? If YES, then say it straight. Smiley

IF NOT then it is not so hard to see that Bitcoin is bubble and only few people are earning from it. It is OK but admit that Smiley

Bitcoin will not dissapear as system, the so called "exchangers" will dissapear because they will be closed very soon. The first ones will be from USA. Either BitPay, either Coinbase.

Journalists are equally clueless on every other subjects they cover be it politics, science, economy, culture and so on but you usually don't notice because you are less proficient in other subjects.

You have to have a moderate degree of intelligence at the moment, which goes a long way to explain why the trolls here are so down on it.

There is a difference between using something and understanding something.
Most people can use a smartphone, but just a few can tell, if your smartphone can be easily hacked.

It doesn't make any sense, that because you can use a technology, you can predict its future. Even if you undertand the technology completly, doesn't mean, you know it's future.

Why don't we fight back?
How about Bitcoin news sites start making 'Fuck you' Washington Post articles?

The author and the whole redaction should be ashamed of themselves. They have no right to claim something like this.

If I were the mainstream media I wouldn't blame them, FUD sells.

If it were a boring, Bitcoin prices stabilizes, technology maturing, and adoption keep increasing article, then they wouldn't get page hits.

It's the way of the world, kick the underdog while he's down.  Then of course when Bitcoin rises like a phoenix, they'll start rising melodramatic sensationalistic articles like "The Bitcoin revolution is here!" or "The internet of money has arrived!" or "Digital gold rush!" or "E-money, how to get involved".

Right now there's not enough people in the mainstream that give a hoot, so only negative spun ones will get attention.

A negatively spun article published about Bitcoin during a price crash...

Big surprise there.


Also poorly written and not entirely accurate. It is far to easy to kick BTC when it is down.
