Perhaps you don't understand the meaning of the phrase "on this news."
Perhaps you do understand, but it makes you feel good to say something nasty about bitcoin. And that feeling is more important to you than honest discussion.
- jarek 12y agoIs context undesirable in honest discussions about Bitcoin then?
- lytedev 12y agoThe given context was "on this news," explicitly referring to the single period of time since this information was made public. In that time and that time alone, bitcoin has come up a few dollars. Nobody is denying the fact that bitcoin is still down from last week - or even last month, but the context in question is the past 4ish hours.
- javert 12y agoContext would be good if it were done without any kind of emotional undertones (which are often used to win arguments through emotional intimidation) or any kind of logical leaps (which are often used to squeeze in emotional understones). So e.g. "It's worth keeping in mind, though, that bitcoin is down X% in the last month."
