The author has this on his wikipedia page: "Fortune described Singer as "a passionate defender of the 1% and a rising Republican power broker"."

Is it any wonder that he's singing the tune that supports his chosen team? The fact is that, if I remember correctly, he's a big pusher of gold paper. Not physical gold, but paper that says you have some interest in gold. Gold is sliding and his butt's a puckerin' because he's been pushing that paper for a long time.

The fact is that the 1% can jump in on Bitcoin at any time (and many probably already have) so he can say what ever he wants (or what ever he's being paid to say). His clients are still going to have their own brains and can tell the difference between a useable currency and something that sits burried in basements and vaults for that day when the SHTF and they suddenly realize that gold sucks as a currency. When the SHTF in reality, medicine, munitions and munchies will be more valuable than gold. But, in the mean time, a lot of people will get ripped off by these pitch men and their 'mainstream platforms'. (Remember how hard Glenn Beck was pitching gold on his show? Yeah, that turned out to be a company that was ripping off little old ladies. Something you really can't do with bitcoin.)

Bitcoin goes mainstream.
Bitcoin readily available to everybody with a smartphone.
Church accepts tithes via bitcoins.
Churches asks congregation for suggestions for a fund raising event.
Little old ladies suggest Bingo.
Bingo it is.
Then the Bitcoins-Accepted-Here gold plated plate is passed from pew to pew.

"According to their ability they gave to the treasury for the work 61,000 gold drachmas and 5,000 silver minas and 100 priestly garments and some satoshis."
