You see what they're trying to do here, right? Salon gives it away immediately with their smug "currency, which has been tied to terrorism" remark as if fiat hasn't. They're happy to have Trump be the face of #Bitcoin in order to try and persuade people away from it. "Oh, you use Bitcoin? Isn't that what QAnon people use?"

Do they know how much USD cash they found in Afghanistan doing raids on al-Qaeda? Millions in cash....It's becoming increasingly obvious to people how terribly bought and paid for msm is...
I agree with your perspective, however, I think it is important to realize that basically nobody reads Salon. Or the NYT. Or Wapo, or Fox, or CNN, or NPR, or ABC, CBS, NBC, and on and on. I have to keep reminding myself of this because we are constantly being gaslight about stupid shit, incessantly. The deadstream media is just that, dead. I know plenty of age 70+ people that have given up on legacy media. Salon has never turned a profit. Ever. All of these shitstain "media" organization are various incarnations of mockingbird ops. And, the few million tards (out of what 335 million people??) who read this drivel don't have the intellectual capacity to understand they are being psyoped. So, what to do? Absolutely fucking nothing and popcorn-watch it all with a shit-eating grin as it continues its slow implosion. What a time to be alive!
