The problem is that mainstream media specially, don't give a damn about Bitcoin's well being, they just want to make clickbait articles that will bring more traffic to their website, therefore get more ad revenue, that's all they care about, and they knew Mike Hearn saying "Bitcoin is dead" would make tons of traffic. Those people just don't care. Then we have the website that are shills of Bitcoin Foundation and Classic like bitcoin.com and others, that try to FUD Core. Sad to see, but even all that FUD is not working.
It's those mentally ill people that read it, that is the real problem.
Most of them probably have an iq of a mosquito.
