At same time there are many lies about bitcoin, which of course must be completely exposed and then ignored next. Actually, lies aren't a big issue on long run, because they don't last longer when put face to face with the facts and the reality.
Actually there are a lot of lies about Bitcoin spread by Bitcoin haters, and that can make people who don't understand Bitcoin wrong in
understanding Bitcoin. Finally people who misunderstood Bitcoin, become negative about Bitcoin and it only prevents them get benefit
from Bitcoin. Therefore, it is important to seek information from trusted sources, so that we can get correct information and avoid lies.
But somehow the lie will not last as long as you say, because sooner or later the real truth will be revealed, especially now we are very easy
to get information. So we can compare the various information, and we get to find out the truth.
Yes, that is it. For an example, look how many news sites and posts on the internet in general have said during past years bitcoin was dead, that it would never recover after the bear market of 2018 and that it was a ponzi scheme. On those times people making such statements made complete sense, they looked totally right, but then time passed and showed they were wrong.
The same happens with that argument saying bitcoin mining demands too much electricity, so it is harmful to the environment, but the fact this electricity would be used in a way or another is ignored by critics.
