| There's a perception among many that Bitcoin = Scam. Much of this stems from a long-standing false narrative by mainstream media implying Bitcoin is somehow culpable when it comes to criminality. As Bitcoin doesn't sue in the way a corporation would, it makes it an easier target. That said the one thing Bitcoin does have on its side is as Saylor would put it is that "Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire of truth, exponentially growing ever smarter, faster, and stronger behind a wall of encrypted energy".
