After Years of Vilifying Bitcoin, Now the Mainstream Media Sees it as a Savior for China’s Monetary System

by Kenneth Schortgen, The Daily Economist:

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. These were the words of a famous revolutionary who used non-violent protest as the means to overthrow the British Empire from its hold over India.
