I think at this point, by questioning whether or not NPR is lying about Bitcoin, you're demonstrating confirmation bias. A better question would be: How much do you personally have invested into Bitcoin that relies on it's success?

I'm not saying NPR is lying, but your argument is based on it being a fact that a TX has failed, where we don't have the details of that TX or if it exists. I also don't think you understand what confirmation bias is. I don't mind disclosing have holdings in XBT, ETH, DASH, XRP, and others. None of my investment portfolio relies on Bitcoin increasing in value significantly, crypto is a small percentage of my overall portfolio. I've also been paid in bitcoin for over a year and won't sell for years. It's evident you're just here to get rich quick.

  Do you think NPR is lying about the transaction failing? (y/n question) So you have a year's worth of wages tied up in Bitcoin?

    You can try and spin this any way you like. Is there any evidence, not hearsay, regarding this TX? (y/n question). Your whole argument is based on this one link, haha. No, I do contract work for bitcoin. As I already stated, "crypto is a small percentage of my overall portfolio." so not sure your point there. I manage my finances just fine thanks, it seems you're upset none of your ponzi schemes have paid off.

        Just so you know, he was completely dishonest about the failed TX. https://twitter.com/nathanielpopper/status/748509723784265728 https://twitter.com/nathanielpopper/status/74850972378426572... https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4qn7xr/npr_hit_piece_on_bitcoin_planet_money_bitcoin/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4qn7xr/npr_hit_pie...
