Strange to see such a positive article on a mainstream media site like CNBC. I can't help but wonder why. Maybe I'm just paranoid
Zero privacy, and using a USD pegged stablecoin. What is to dislike from the regime perspective?

Paranoid about what? There cannot be something behind that, it's just Bitcoin in a poor country.
Also, there is no mainstream media conspiracy against Bitcoin. They are just unaware of the benefits of Bitcoin in 1st world countries, just missing education and short sighted thinking. Never Attribute to Malice That Which Is Adequately Explained by Stupidity. And in a 3rd world country they just tell the news as is / as reported, why should they lie about it?

I think it's safe to say that CNBC understands bitcoin

I think they do not, they barely understand stock market stuff... these journalists probably write if of as something Michael Saylor talks about on Fox News and do no further research on...

Kevin O'leary owns it and is pro bitcoin, Cramer owned it for a while, Jon Najarian has owned bitcoin for at least two years, and they have a group of reporters who just cover btc and shitcoins.
