Mainstream Media Attacks on Bitcoin: What's the Deal?

So Ben McKenzie has been going around saying BTC is just a scam and the only uses are crime and gambling. He even calls it a cult. Not sure why we're rehashing these tired arguments because we all see it differently here.

Yeah, calling bitcoin a scam is wild. If it's a scam, why are companies like Blackrock getting involved? Makes zero sense.

Exactly, people won't just stop and listen to someone like him. Just because he says it’s a scam doesn’t change the fact that it’s being adopted by big players.

This dude has no clue. Bitcoin keeps growing despite what people say. Other critics have come and gone, and Bitcoin is still here.

And let's not forget some countries are using it to dodge economic pressures. It's crazy how he misses that.

The whole cult thing is laughable. Bitcoin’s value does rely on faith, but there are real applications. It’s not just a niche thing.

Ben's not the first to spout nonsense, and he won't be the last. Bitcoin thrives despite the haters.

Totally, FUD is everywhere but awareness of Bitcoin is rising. Just look at how Trump used it during his campaign.

Lol, right? He’s acting like Bitcoin only has bad uses. But we see big corporations investing. Seems a bit contradictory.

People will always talk without really understanding. Bitcoin’s value is too big to ignore, no matter what some celebrity says.

Honestly, who cares what he thinks? Fiat is used for crime too, why no hate for that?

True, and I think a lot of this FUD is just noise. It won't shake Bitcoin's foundation.

If anything, it shows how desperate some folks are to knock Bitcoin down. It won’t work.

I think he might just be bitter about something. He probably lost money somewhere and now blames Bitcoin.

Interesting point. Could be true. But still, he’s pushing a narrative that’s been there forever.

Some say the dollar is the real cult. Those are just conspiracy theories though.

From what I see, Bitcoin's community is strong against misinformation. Ben’s just part of the noise.

Been watching this for years. Every time it hits a new high, someone comes out claiming it's a scam. It’s kind of funny.

Right? It’s like clockwork. They just can’t accept it’s here to stay.

What’s wild is calling it a gambling tool while ignoring how many people are using it for real business.
