Right every wrong!
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hello fellow kids.</p> <p>Yesterday I was reading my country’s most popular newspaper and was greeted with the headline “Hacker demands cryptocurrency!!”. Naturally my interest was grabbed and I went on reading the article that stated “The hacker demands the private and untraceable cryptocurrency Bitcoin”, which is obviously wrong since Bitcoin is a public ledger and every single transaction is recorded and saved for eternity. Mildly annoyed I emailed the author of the article and explained that Bitcoin is in fact not very private, and certainly not untraceable. After a few back and forth with relevant facts the newspaper issued a correction saying Bitcoin is indeed not very private and is traceable. </p> <p>This is what we, the cryptocurrency community, must do every time we see people outside the community reference crypto the wrong way. I urge you all to take a few moments out of your very busy life following shitcoins to correct newspapers and other publications when they simply misinform the public.</p> <p>The result of their misinformation leads to the public associating cryptocurrency with crime, and this must change.</p> <p>Please, pretty please, do this. It does not take long, and we all do benefit from it.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> Kind Regards R
