A few days ago, scrolling through the news on the cryptocurrency groups of the fb pages on which I am registered, I saw a series of comments, more or less offensive about a service that an Italian satirical broadcast aired the night before.
This is the service
https://www.striscialanotizia.mediaset.it/video/bitcoin-e-un-buon-investimento-_71240.shtml
Clearly the video is in Italian.
After the impressive January bitcoin bull-run, everyone started writing, dealing, saying and talking about this phenomenon.
Obviously, the classic "factions" of supporters and detractors have been formed, those who call it the bubble, those who call it ponzi and whoever has more of it, more.
But not one, only one who tells what it is and why certain things can happen ... Bah!
But let's get to this service.
The editor begins by talking about digital currencies, specifying the salient and distinctive characteristics of cryptocurrencies compared to digital currencies, paying particular attention to the fact that they are decentralized.
Through this fundamental aspect of cryptocurrencies, he explained in a simple and comprehensive way that the price of BTC is determined by the market trend with supply and demand.
Speaking of the market, a clarification could certainly not be missing on whales which can potentially distort it with huge sudden sales or equally oversized purchases.
The service then proceeds, alerting all potential cryptocurrency buyers to delve into which currency they are talking about so as not to have any nasty surprises.
Basically the video lasts a few minutes, and in my opinion, was managed in a competent manner and with a low profile, within everyone's reach, and, very importantly, without points of view regarding cryptocurrencies and derivatives.
In my opinion, information must be like this: explain the concept without points of view in simple and affordable terms.
A point of view is never required in information!
What prompted me to write this post were all the comments I read: offensive and definitely out of place as they are not in line with the focus of the report: the intention of the speaker was not to explain in detail what both and how btc works, but simply to make as many people as possible understand in broad terms what Bitcoin is and for what potential reason there is a price hike.
Clearly, it is the viewer's duty to deepen the subject in order to subsequently discern whether it is worth investing a certain sum of money or not.
Lately, gurus are born who have the truth in hand and give out advice without any shame: they do not realize that they are playing with other people's money and, in some cases, with the savings of a lifetime!
A very interesting and apt aspect of this service was the step in which the speaker recommended scrupulously analyzing the project underlying the cryptocurrency to which an investor (including retail) considers it appropriate to spend money.
Let's move on to the comments I read in this post from an Italian cryptocurrency group; they really demonstrate the paucity of certain people who, hidden from a keyboard, think they can spit sentences and claim the right to denigrate people who, like him, believe in this new technology.
Look at it, out of curiosity and then comment below with your point of view!
