I guess the world is much bigger out there. The handful of "Bitcoin veterans" are terribly outnumbered by "newbies or liars or fakes." No veteran could always guide or guard them, scolding them when the need arises.
It is not only the social media where disinformation or misinformation about Bitcoin or crypto is spreading. As a matter of fact, both the print media and broadcast media, here in the Philippines at least, are guilty of it.
However, the virus is still on the process of spreading. The good thing is that it is moving now a bit faster than before.
