What makes it particularly hilarious is the author's striking inability to understand that to make a consistent and coherent argument he has to tie up loose ends in his logic and reasoning

This is cancer of today's media coverages. Fake news all around, you can't tell difference between real news and fake news. Its really problem of modern world right now.
People need to learn information analysis in schools, its new era that is coming. It must come.

There's a silver lining to virtually anything

And I guess that has little to do with information analysis as such. What has is your profound understanding of the matter that someone is trying to put in your head, and then making use of simple logic to see where the narrative fails. In this specific case, for example, I know what money is and I know what Bitcoin is, so it was easy to point a finger and explain comprehensively and exhaustively why the author writes complete self-contradictory bullshit. But I agree that the news outlets posting such garbage first and foremost discredit themselves, not Bitcoin or whatever. Makes a perfect study case and example
