What do you think?

Just finished reading this article on The Verge. My thoughts are that I think the article oversimplifies how macroeconomic events like tariffs affect Bitcoin, implying it should rise in response to government policy, when in reality investor behavior during uncertainty typically leads to selling risk assets across the board. I also think it overstates the role of crime in Bitcoin’s use, ignoring data showing illegal activity makes up only a small portion of transactions. The portrayal of Bitcoin as merely speculative also misses its use cases in remittances, inflation hedging (especially in restrictive or developing countries), and ongoing tech development like the Lightning Network. The reference to Bitcoin ETFs also lacks nuance, and overlooks how it also represents broader legitimacy. The sarcastic tone and facetious language doesn't help make the article sound serious and just alienates readers looking for an actual thoughtful analysis. Look, I get it. They're having fun with the "I told you so" attitude, but it isn't helpful, and comes across as punching down. Reducing all interest in Bitcoin to "Number Go Up" ignores a significant portion of the global user base who value its decentralized, censorship-resistant, portable nature, ya know, the thing that actually makes it valuable besides speculation. What do you think about the articles' main points?
