I’m Irish and not many people over here are familiar with Cryptocurrency and the potential that it brings, I read this ignorant and tone deaf article this morning and I was probably displaying visible anger.
Ireland, like many places is suffering from inflation and rising housing prices, comments such as “why would you swap your nice steady euros” left me perplexed. Are these people completely out of touch with the reality that the average person is living in? Nothing is mentioned about the long term goal of these cryptocurrencies, I am well and truly flabbergasted that our national news provider would publish such an article.
The real shame is that many in Ireland will only use RTE as their source of information and this is the first thing they would have read about Crypto and they will run a million miles away from it.
