After trying to engage normies on Twitter over the FUD NYT article on Riot and bitcoin mining I’ve come to the conclusions that: 1) some people have an unnatural hatred of bitcoin and are happy to swallow any garbage that feeds that hatred. 2) very few prepared to actually get in to a discussion, preferring to wish ill on me and my future. 3) everyone has their on set of “facts” that reinforce their bias. These are entrenched and unchangeable.
I guess for some, their bias will only be changed when bitcoin is at a level of dominance it becomes part of their day to day life - much like with the internet. You could say it has no use until you actually had to use it and found it useful, for example finding directions somewhere, purchasing goods, online banking.
Does this mean it’s not worth engaging anti bitcoin luddites? It would be easier not to, but I think it’s still something that’s worthwhile…
