Hello! In my effort to highlight the misconceptions and uninformed reactions on bitcoin I bring you two more examples I found online.
Once again, a portuguese mainstream newspaper failed to publish an article about bitcoin without mentioning the words "illegal activity"
Bitcoin... is frequently used in illegal activities.
and mention that the recent HBO hack attack responsibles are demanding a payment in Bitcoins...
as well as the WannaCry hack attack...
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I've read their articles about the Euro and the USD. They don't mention anything about illegal activities. I guess there is none...
In a forum:
User 2: "For starters, you should be able to answer why you want to get in with all time high. You see, in the traditional stock market what you said would make no sense. Regarding BTC and the foreseeable future, it makes completely sense, so you should join. Being able to see the differences in both worlds would be a great start to justify your actions and decisions."
User 1: "Why doesn't it make sense for the normal market? Last week my brother bought $50k is stocks because it has been going up."
...
I know we can't save everyone!

I just tried to check my bank account movements ONLINE. A warning came up... For them to unblock the access to records older than 6 month they would have to charge me a fee...
The Governments are the reason for cryptocurrency in the first place, their propaganda is the best marketing approach for crypto.
People always go to where they are told not to... even just for a peek. But then as they do so, their interest and I dare say thirst for yield anywhere is what hooks them in.
So thank you media, Thank you governments and banks for pushing people out to a new paradigm out of your control!
Viva la revolución (Spanish), Vive la révolution (French) or sometimes Viva la revolution (a hybrid)
I find it curious how most of them are still clueless about something they helped to create.
Well I wonder what they will say at $000 and beyond. I woke up this morning to $3775, almost $300 more than yesterday. Now all we need is for BCH to reach parity with BTC with one as a store of wealth and one as the experimental spendable model.
oh, I would be very happy if that parity comes!
On anything that is strange to the mass, there is a push back on acceptance. Also media likes to bring bad news, since that is what triggers the mass to actually watch. Years ago our prime news at 20hrs decided to always bring 1 positive news items in their 22 minute of news. They always do this as the last item. But to be honest, most if the people do not watch the news for the positive item, but for all the negative items. Anyway, I guess that is the world like we live in. Bad news sells. From marketing point of view, the rule is: "better news than no news", so I think even when BTC is covered by the media in a bad light, it is still in favour of spreading the news and awareness about BTC. More and more people will talk about it, giving others more opportunity to debunk the negativities around BTC.
for sure! There's no such thing as bad advertising in this kind of thing.
Everyone should inform his or her friends, family, just everybody. After they realize what is happening they will automatically want btc
That's the way to go :)
I get upset as well when people always have to mention illegal uses. Paper fiat is used way more for illegal activities but no one mentions that when talking about cash.
I'm done with the upset mode. Now I just make fun of it and feel glad I'm getting ahead.
Great post, thanks for sharing. Increased information about bitcoin!
no prob. I'll keep them coming
