Blockchain Just Entered The Real World
Alex Jones lol, what a time to be alive, truly.

The technology has probably been brought by the aliens to president Trump to save the humanity according to him.

Regardless his products have made a lonesome skinny nerd like me into a buffed navy seal. I highly vouch for the Primitive Energy-Burst Stamina-Force Solution, incredibly tasty water!

I have said it a a lot of times and will say it again:every publicity is good,people need to stop observing who said this and focus on the positive:BTC is being mentioned amongst people and in the media and that is the only thing that matters.I personally believe that is the only way not only for BTC,but for any idea or project to succeed:people have to recognise that you have to offer something and if that's not the case, it will be hard to move forward

100% agreed. Every source of publicity is great for crypto, whoever it came from.
Nice to see bitcoin being mentioned in the mainstream media more continuously. The majority of average joe's still haven't heard of bitcoin or crypto before in their life but I hope that will change gradually.
It would really change gradually if media will continue do air about bitcoin and this is really a great news on which bitcoin is gaining already popularity and now being mentioned to these mediums.I do remember that everytime media do mention about bitcoin they are saying about its usage or developments but it cant really be avoided for them to mentioned about the negative sides of it into the public which causes hindrance for them to engage.

This is some good news, these days all are about segwit or bu and it's really getting annoying. This I hope will serve a reminder to people that people all over only care about Bitcoins and no other alt coins and it's pertinent to note for me BU will always be alt coins only. Let's hope this reaches to miners and they remember who gave them work. They are trying to kill the goose who laid the Golden eggs and results won't be good at all.

Isn't Alex Jones a disinfo agent?

Yes.

But like all the smart disinfo agents, he began by building trust.

Some of the best info and reporting on the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing was gathered by none other than Alex Jones. He then went on to ridiculous stuff about "Bohemian Grove satanic rituals" and "the Chinese are building a Death Star"


That's how all, and I mean all, these people work.

Who subtly pumped Roger Ver's reputation, both before and during the BU coup attempt? Who subtly propagated the "Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landings" myth? Who subtly promotes the veracity of hypnotised assassins and mind control? None other than trusted darling of the alt-media conspiracy/NWO personalities, James Corbett.

Infowars is a big show, their fans and listeners are growing very fast every year. This is very good news for Bitcoin and the whole blockchain community.
The important thing is that the average person get to hear more about Bitcoin and the blockchain. Also keep in mind that Alex Jones has been a Bitcoin
supporter since long time ago, see more details below from 2014:

Regardless your political leanings, it is always nice when a hugely popular news platform covers your technology.

I'm not so sure.  To be honest, I'm pretty conflicted on this one.  While the generally accepted notion is that any publicity is good publicity, the fact remains infowars has a bit of an image problem, to put it mildly.  A reputation for being a magnet for tinfoil-hat-wearing conspiracy theorists and extremists.  If the wider public begin to conflate infowars' lack of credibility with Bitcoin, it's not ideal.  We don't want the average person to get the impression that a large proportion of people involved in this space are on some sort of hardline political fringe, or on the outer edges of what society deems normal.  Any more than they might already do, at least.

Not if this exposure is only circling in the Infowars crowd. People that are not part of that group, will not even know about this. Let's take

Mike Tyson for instance... He has a BadBoy image {biting off someones ear} but he is big in the boxing and pigeon community. Someone not

interested in Mike Tyson will not look for news about him.  Tongue

Oh god alex jones. He probably thinks Satoshi Nakamoto is really an alien.

Whether you like Alex or not is not the point (and i think an insect ive never seen before is an alien), but what DOES matter is huge numbers of people looking for solutions are starting to hear about our blockchain technology Smiley

to me....this is just plain sexy.   Roll Eyes
Average shmuck on the street doesn't know about blockchain tech or bitcoin and wouldn't care about either even if he did hear about them.  Alex Jones is a suck ass, bottom feeding scumbag...but whatever, if he got bitcoin some press then it's not a bad thing.   "Sexy" and "Alex Jones" ought not exist in the same paragraph.

Would be nice to have positive news and updates on the forums and reddit again, instead of a constant feed of infighting.

A matter of time I guess

Ironically there is a bitcoin tag on steemit and its censorship resistant cause (well) blockchain. id love to see some more going on over there since reddit seems to love censorship.  actually steem is the "special mention"...just didnt want to take away from the good news since it was posted on steemit. At some point that becomes plugging overkill Tongue

Id love to see more togetherness these days too but i think bitcoin and crypto are still building all the tools we need to take bitcoin and other tokens to the moon and beyond...without help from the old paradigms pinnacle players. Smiley

Regardless your political leanings, it is always nice when a hugely popular news platform covers your technology.  Well in the following post, former Green Beret Blake Miles plugged Bitcoin and his other favorite tech in the space.  This is Great news for Bitcoina and crypto in general everyone! 

Check out his post to learn more and listen to him plug the technology we love so dearly!
