I feel the same, mainstream news are terrible all over, and it will probably get worse before it gets better. Don't beat yourself up about mistakes, we have all done them. The people in this thread have widely varying backgrounds and opinions, but most of us (with a few exceptions) want Bitcoin to succeed in one way or another.

BTW: Lately I've had this urge to ditch my smartphone completely, who wears an "ankle tracker" willingly when all you get on it is propaganda and useless notifications in return?
