I pop the radio on every morning, I like a bit of music first thing, that and a cuppa. And then the news interupts my enjoyment. For the past couple of month I have realised an increase in the mention of 'cryptocurrency' and always in negative ways - today was in connection to cocain and the Russian war machine.

I am not blind to the potential uses, scams and risks of cryptocurrencies, as I am not to those of fiat money either. I've simply observed the increased use of the word 'cryptocurrency' in association with negative news stories.

No accident. No mention of freedom, decentralization or safety. No balance of pros and cons, no mention of the challenges involved or the potential. Just 'cryptocurrency' = negativity. Drip drip.
