Having said that, I believe a headline of "Bitcoin is under attack!" would have been equally effective. But we're talking about sleazy mega corporations who spread lies to help the government start illegal wars and further political agendas, so anything is possible.
that's prolly the gist of it eh. + not investigating it in the slightest. i've noticed many of the mainstream articles quote each other- a lot. sure, they all have their "what you need to know about bitcoin in 30 seconds" articles but i'm realizing they prolly just read some other 30 second overview on it all to write their's.

it's too bad because it truly is a fucking fantastic experiment. doomed to fail? prolly. still a few years away though, but, just like the dotcom crash, investors took the hit, the infratructure remained and now here we are.
