Even with the qualifier "benevolent" and even if it is technically accurate... in my opinion... that is a terrible metaphor to use.
Do you know how many people in our modern world have lost loved ones to cancer?
No amount of qualifiers are going to remove the negative psychological weight from a word like that.
And surely you must know how the enemies of something like bitcoin would just love to have good key words to jump on and
use against it.
( below said in something like a Rush Limbaugh voice )
"Harumpf! And here we have another article where we have another bitcoin "expert", comparing this new "technology", to cancer! People, I ask you!"
