Topic: Bitcoin still involves too much to deceptive behavior! - page 5. (Read 914 times)
that is only your personal perspective not what bitcoin is really about. and unlike what others say i don't think it is the news fault. it is your fault for only focusing on part of the news that is negative. otherwise there is a lot of positive news too. for example the news that is about millions of merchants accepting bitcoin all around the world and increasing their revenue and security.
Wishing you a very good day, I am a lover of blockchain and cryptocurrency. Haiz! But I'm not happy, when I wake up and read bad news about bitcoin, most of them are bitcoin related scams. I wonder when we can manage bitcoins avoid cheating and fraud, if I'm a normal person do not know about bitcoin, I certainly would not want to find out about it when the news I read about bitcoin is mostly negative as scam. The good news about bitcoin is minimal, mostly on blockchain technology, not many people understand the relationship between bitcoin and blockchain. All of this leads to bitcoin being difficult to accept as a payment method, at least for the moment.

The concern of those media is the rating, I mean they want more viewers who attracted and watch their tv program or news paper. If they spread the news about the good of bitcoin then it only attracts attention of bitcoin users, but if they spread about bitcoin related crimes then it can be more attractive. The "deceptive behavior" is only bad image that media create for bitcoinThese are the articles I read this morning: https://cointelegraph.com/news/report-google-g-suite-twitter-account-compromised-to-promote-10-000-bitcoin-scam
The complexity around buying bitcoin along with the scams in the media can be off putting, but when the media hypes the bull run they will join in and learn how it all works
You're only affected by what you choose to pay attention to.
Bitcoin is storing value for the owners of bitcoin.
Who reads bitcoin related news? Is there going to be something happening other than side chains and 2nd layer releases over the next two years? It isn't dramatically changing in any way soon.
Following crypto related drama is the readers fault. It's not news, its garbage packaged to excite people who want something new in crypto currency to happen.
Bitcoin is just storing value and being secure. There is no news to write or read about that.

bitcoin isn't involved in anything. bitcoin is just a currency like any other currency in the world and acts as a tool that happens to be used for a variety of reasons, most of which are good and legal but it also happens to be used for illegal activities too. the more popular bitcoin gets the more users will use it and usage of it for both legal and illegal activities will increase just like any other currency.
you just happened to stumble upon the negativity more than anything else because your source is news sites.

It is really noticeable on social media, specially twitter. Pick any celebrity you want, go to their twitter and look for some of their tweets, on the comments below you will see a ton of cryptocurrency addresses, usually big coins like BTC and ETH. Even Elon Musk was involved in this recently.
There are many instagram bots with links on their bio which are bitcoin mining malware in most cases.
In Youtube comment section there's tons of spam of supposed crypto trading geniuses that will make you rich.
The thing is, automating moderation of all of that is really difficult, and human moderation is limited and not enough.
What can you do? when you see scams, report them. And do not get involved in scams yourself and don't click on any dumb looking links and you should be good.

when you turn on your TV in the morning and watch the news you will see that they are talking about all kinds of crimes that happened recently: robberies, murders, rapes, car crashes, .... that is what the news does. they report these kinds of events that gets them more viewership. and there is no difference when it comes to bitcoin either.
