Frustration with most of the other subs on reddit when Bitcoin is brought up. Just need to vent.

It's still incredible to me how many downvotes just mentioning bitcoin gets. There was a popular post on videos subreddit recently where someone asked about the value of Bitcoin as a currency, outside the view of an investment vehicle. I mentioned that it's currently used for payment in impoverished countries in Africa where people don't have stable financial institutions to store their money. I was asked for sources, I provided a coindesk publication. Apparently it was too biased for their liking so I provided a Forbes article, and still received downvotes. It's hard to see this kind of news in mainstream media, because the news rarely cares about poor people in poor countries. So most news sources covering this type of stuff tend to be bitcoin centric publications.

There's two factors at play here, one a lot of people still don't like hearing about bitcoin, and the second being, people don't up/down vote on facts, they do it based on their feelings, which is problematic.

Anyway. Just a rant.
