The endless stream of lies repeating every old canard.
You know, all these woke leftist "news" media would look the same if they fired everyone and used ChatGPT to produce their content. Oh, that woman doesn't have 6 fingers, Threatener of Our Democracy!

> Write an article about how Bitcoin is a threat to democracy
Bitcoin has become one of the most popular forms of digital currency, with its value skyrocketing over recent months. But while it may be seen as a viable alternative for financial transactions and investments, there are serious implications that come along with Bitcoins’ rise in prominence; particularly when it comes to democracy.
The decentralized nature of the cryptocurrency makes regulating its use difficult at best—and downright impossible at worst. This lack of oversight allows those who would seek to manipulate markets or influence elections with Bitcoins’ value unchecked, posing a serious threat to our democratic processes and institutions.
Furthermore, this lack of transparency also allows those seeking to undermine democracy through illicit means a way to do so with relative ease and anonymity, making it difficult for law enforcement agencies to trace funds back to their source—allowing criminals or other malicious actors to use Bitcoin without being traced.
In conclusion, while cryptocurrency may be seen as viable alternatives in the financial world, its decentralized nature and lack of regulation makes it a serious threat to democracy; particularly when used for illicit purposes such as money laundering or influencing elections through manipulating markets with Bitcoin’s value.
Journalists bfto lmao.

Even down to the bait and switch between Bitcoin and cRyPtOcUrReNcY!
Imagine the bean counters in the towers of Mordor rubbing their hands together about being able to fling formula perfect propaganda copy at a rate of petabytes per microsecond.

The problem is that this is actually what's going to happen. At least with partially censored Google results one can theoretically find links with the opposite point of view. With large scale woke AI, there will be no links, just one centralized point of view.

A search engine that tells you what its operators want you to know isn't going to be very useful. Short term, big propaganda win, long term, further spiraling downwards of public opinion about media. The dinosaur government chartered limited liability corporation will be eaten by the atomisation of production using privacy protecting p2p network systems like Bitcoin.
I barely even look at the web anymore apart from here and there and for technical information and trivia, ah yeah and shopping of course. Quit using google search already 5 years ago. Platform searches are more useful, like Github and such.
It's not like the sheeple weren't already tuned into their Benefactor's psi-beams one way or another anyhow. If it's not unplugged from the matrix, you can't trust it.

Love seeing the MSM showed up once again.
Anyone got one of those BTC price charts that also tracks the timeline of various articles saying "Bitcoin is a bubble and it's gonne die"?

I was 4 minutes earlier, hehe (you can hover over the time to see the exact timestamp)
I think you went looking for the URL and then commented without refreshing the page when you found it. So you didn't see my comment. Am I right? :)

It’s not a chart but this page tracks a bunch of these type of articles, including this one.
$240 at time it was written

I like the Peter Shiff one 😁 he was so early 🤣
reply
Yeah. Either he’s a complete idiot, missed the opportunity and is now salty as all hell. Very possible.
Or
He’s not a complete idiot, bought some later, and is doing ok for himself. And his ant-bitcoin schtick is great marketing to sell his fund to boomers. Everyone knows who he is so part of me thinks it’s the later.

I'm sure this Kurt is a bitcoiner in the closet living a double life writing for Vanity Fair :D At night he writes the most maxi toxic posts here at SN

Opsec since 2013 👌

I like it. Like we all know these articles are just to sell views and ads. So it’s highly possible. Although he’s still on Twitter still writing schlock

Perfect timing to post this article today, almost ten years from its original publication date. I hope it makes the rounds of social media where it just might wake some more people up.

2013 bullshit article, author is truly reeekt and possibly working as a fluffer to make ends meet due to inflation.

My reaction to this kind of nonsense is always the same: more cheap sats for us for longer.
reply
Ah yes of course I remember the “most famous investment bubbles in history, the tulip-and-bulb craze. It took place from 1634 to 1637”
reply
Actually I was ignorant apparently the tulip bubble is quite well known. 😅

"assuming Subway accepted Bitcoins" -> prophetic!
Great article.
