Thanks for that. The washington post needs a btc tip address. Well worth the reading for the laughs.
I'm getting more and more concerned that no-one here seems to want to explore or even counter the 'negative' arguments around bitcoin or crypto...I don't mind reading erudite or informed denunciations of such arguments but everyone seems awful keen to dismiss any naysayers as idiots/fools without actually making a cogent defence.
After you've read 100 articles written by "journalists" or even "economists" who have refused to do even a few minutes worth of research, you get burned out. Making intelligent arguments to counter a ridiculous claim/outright lie is a waste of time. I'm glad there are some people who bother, but seriously... it's a never ending job with no gratification to be had for your efforts.
Yep. I was about to say exactly this.
The arguments have already been made, this is just the newest Johnny Come Lately to not understand what Bitcoin is.
