Doesn't surprise me most of the mainstream mouthpieces have boughten into Keynesian propaganda and couldn't see good sense if it smacked them in the head. Oh well, we'll let our bank accounts do the talking at the end  Grin

More like the lack of bank accounts Cool

These idiots have proven they don't understand the fundamentals behind Bitcoin and view it as just some fad Internet funny money like all those .com busts of the early 2000's, like Flooze.

So be it, leave them to champion their dying meat-world currencies. Sorry I don't have one to add

It takes a lot of front for an ageing QE instigator to dismiss bitcoin using a popular culture reference...

Thanks for that one. This is going to be an interesting list when BTC stabilizes somewhere above $1000 ..  Smiley
