That was a fun article to read. For me, it is a bit irritating to see so much misinformation and misconceptions being spread around by the media. Bitcoin is a great thing and the benefits of it are fantastic. Another thing that is bad about the media spreading misinformation is if people hear something negative about Bitcoin, they may stay away from Bitcoin all together.
The general public will come around eventually once they realize the true benefits of it, but hopefully one day they will regret and rue their ignorance. In the meantime just keep promoting the benefits and positives of bitcoin and hopefully more people will come around sooner.
