Investigative journalism is one of the only ways to lift the veil on the threats that face Bitcoin. Only when people KNOW what and where a threat is can they rally to battle harden defences or change a course of action.

As the State becomes more powerful, the ability and the inclination for (many, not all) journalists to dig deeper weakens. As the quality of information disseminated weakens, the ability for Bitcoiners to take action weakens.

Bitching about how important information pertaining to security and privacy is communicated is one big fucking own goal of epic proportions. Attacking the fourth estate or not heeding their warnings is like backing up your private keys on paper and dropping it in public. Fucking stupid.
