Why 'The News Agents' Missed the Mark on Bitcoin

A Response to The News Agents on Bitcoin

Main Criticisms & Responses

Bitcoin is Driven by Libertarian & Anarcho-Capitalist Ideology
- While some Bitcoiners are libertarian, Bitcoin itself is neutral. It’s used by people across the political spectrum, especially in countries with inflation and capital controls.
- Many Bitcoin advocates focus on financial freedom, not anarcho-capitalism. Its adoption by institutions (BlackRock, Fidelity) and nation-states (El Salvador) shows its mainstream relevance.
Bitcoiners Want the Financial System to Collapse
- Most Bitcoin users see it as a hedge, not a weapon. They seek financial sovereignty amid inflation, reckless monetary policy, and overreach.
- Bitcoin is integrating with traditional finance, not replacing it. Major institutions hold Bitcoin, signaling coexistence, not destruction.
Bitcoin is a Male-Dominated, Exclusive Community
- Early adopters were mostly male, but adoption is diversifying. Women-led Bitcoin initiatives and education efforts are growing.
- Bitcoin is open to everyone, with grassroots adoption increasing in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
Bitcoin is a Bubble & Could Collapse
- Bitcoin has survived multiple cycles over 15 years and remains a $2T asset. It’s now embedded in global finance through ETFs and corporate treasuries.
- A Bitcoin collapse would impact investors but wouldn’t trigger a systemic banking crisis.
Bitcoin is Part of a Broader Tech Elitist Movement
- Bitcoin’s core purpose is financial independence, not AI-driven utopias.
- The majority of Bitcoin users are ordinary people in struggling economies, using it for remittances and savings.
