OP is clearly a troll. Although news on CNN with "experts" are making the same points. So are those knowitall news anchors with their experts trolls too? Or they are just ignorant?

From what I've seen from the media, they may make mistakes like assuming "Gox is Bitcoin" but from an economics standpoint, most of the ones I've heard speak about Bitcoin, are far more knowledgeable than most people on this forum.  Seems if you watch a couple of conspiracy theory videos on the Federal reserve and shout "to the moon", you're some how an expert in currency, monetary systems and economics.  

They also have the advantage of not living in a Bitcoin "bubble", where anything contradictory to the zealot rantings, is merely dismissed as hating or ignorance.  Bitcoin is not rocket science and many of the critiques about Bitcoin are extremely valid.  Bitcoin still has a lot to prove.  There is nothing guaranteed about a digital, deflationary currency's prospects of success.
