Bitcoin at $100K: How the media’s perception has shifted since 2009
Mainstream media has attacked everything from Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, to Bitcoin’s volatility and high-energy consumption.
Bitcoin has reached the historic $100,000 milestone almost 16 years after launching in 2009 — but the road hasn’t been easy for OG Bitcoiners, who have had to endure some of the most brutal attacks from mainstream media’s (MSM) biggest names.
Media coverage of Bitcoin (BTC) started slowly picking up around the time its pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, vanished from Bitcoin talk boards in 2011.
It caught the attention of the likes of Forbes, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, and CNN — publishing mostly negative stories, which has, without a doubt, significantly influenced society’s perception of Bitcoin (BTC) today.
