Part 8/11:
The speaker acknowledges that media often associate Bitcoin with illegal activities, but dismisses this as misrepresentation—comparing it to the early days of the Internet, which also harbored pirates and illicit trade but later became a force for good. The technology's power and potential for positive use far outweigh its misuse.
Even if the price of Bitcoin crashes or websites fail, the speaker asserts that the underlying technology remains revolutionary and resilient. The focus should be on understanding its core—a digital, programmable, trustless network—that can be built upon to improve or even replace existing financial infrastructure.
