The media plays a big part when talking about cryptocurrency and bitcoin,like we all know bitcoin is always the first coin on the list and it has faced a lot of attacks from the government and some rich individuals.
Most people don't want to accept the revolution because they are afraid of getting hurt and losing money but I am sure in the future there will be mass adoption and it would face less attacks by then
Media inflates everything out of proportion, be it good or bad. One comment from someone already well known, article is written with media responding (story always get bigger in the telling). End up with news that needs to be continuously researched for integrity.
