I think at this point, by questioning whether or not NPR is lying about Bitcoin, you're demonstrating confirmation bias. A better question would be: How much do you personally have invested into Bitcoin that relies on it's success?

I'm not saying NPR is lying, but your argument is based on it being a fact that a TX has failed, where we don't have the details of that TX or if it exists. I also don't think you understand what confirmation bias is.

I don't mind disclosing have holdings in XBT, ETH, DASH, XRP, and others. None of my investment portfolio relies on Bitcoin increasing in value significantly, crypto is a small percentage of my overall portfolio. I've also been paid in bitcoin for over a year and won't sell for years. It's evident you're just here to get rich quick.

Do you think NPR is lying about the transaction failing? (y/n question)

So you have a year's worth of wages tied up in Bitcoin?

You can try and spin this any way you like. Is there any evidence, not hearsay, regarding this TX? (y/n question). Your whole argument is based on this one link, haha.

No, I do contract work for bitcoin. As I already stated, "crypto is a small percentage of my overall portfolio." so not sure your point there. I manage my finances just fine thanks, it seems you're upset none of your ponzi schemes have paid off.

I think the tone of your comment just demonstrated what I was getting at. Thanks.
Great! Glad this is on public record.
