Don’t Listen to the Mainstream Media on Bitcoin, Blockchain, or… Anything Really
Bitcoin is a spanking-new, highly-specialized topic and even those deeply involved don’t agree on many points. So why trust a reporter who’s only given it an hour’s thought, max?
My well-meaning, non-tech friends know I’m interested in bitcoin — since I’ve written about it every day since mid-2013 and bewilder them about it on Facebook.
So they often send me links to bitcoin articles, usually from the mainstream media. In a way it’s a fresh perspective, since bitcoiners spend most of their days buried in chat rooms and reddit and forget the outside world.
I said fresh — but not particularly edifying. Quite the opposite in fact. After the excitement of the immediate at bitcoin’s edges, it’s a bit depressing to see where the outside world is stuck.
