Thought of the week from Marty Bent:
The FUD is about to turn up with the Bitcoin price. Be prepared to combat the low-knowledge "bitcoin is for drug dealers", "Bitcoin is boiling the oceans", and "Bitcoin will lead to a deflationary spiral" types. Luckily, we are better prepared than ever to completely destroy these weak talking points.
