Last week I went to a cocktail party so bad that it literally hurt my soul. It was perfect for starched collars and quiet, understated conversations about “market corrections.” I almost dropped my organic dry-aged risotto when I heard the same suited gentleman denounce Bitcoin as “internet funny money.” I can’t point fingers, but let’s just say it starts with “Th” and ends with “On Street Journal.” Internet funny money? Seriously? It was almost like hearing my grandma talk about TikTok.

It's Q2 2025, people! Bitcoin just had a record quarter. We're talking billions flowing into corporate treasuries. ETFs are breaking records. And these fellows are still living in 1995, afraid of dial-up modems and AOL CDs.

Elite Media: Deliberate Or Clueless?

Are they really that out of touch, or are they just willfully ignoring the elephant in the room. Even the Wall Street Journal could only manage a pathetic TWO articles about Bitcoin in this historic quarter. Two! Financial Times and The New York Times hardly did any better with 11 apiece. Articles even as Bitcoin is off to the best start of any asset class in 2019, again. If you’ve ever read any of their pieces, let’s face it, they’ve penned more eulogies for the decline of golf than other folks have for Bitcoin.

It's not like information is scarce. Forbes released a busting 194 articles, sitting at a monstrous 43% positive sentiment, particularly in the wake of institutional retail adoption. CNBC is actually… gasp… aligned with market developments, publishing 141 articles with 42% positive views, acknowledging Bitcoin's role in finance. Even Fortune is beginning to stir from its December torpor, finding a balance between warranted skepticism and real life.

The Independent holding on to bad jokes about crime and cybersecurity from a sinking ship to a lifeboat. Climate change denialism Fox News locked in an endless loop of angry, harping, moron sounds

This isn't just about numbers going up. This is about culture. This is about a generational shift. While those publications are busy crafting think pieces on the latest central bank meeting, the rest of us are building the future on the blockchain.

Missing The Meme Economy?

They're missing the meme economy. They're missing the power of NFTs. They're missing the entire digital art revolution. They're missing the point that Bitcoin is more than just an investment. It's a symbol of defiance against the old guard, against financial gatekeepers. Imagine this meme: a T-Rex (elite media) staring up at a giant asteroid (Bitcoin). That's them.

It’s as if they inhabit a bizarro reality. In their universe, Doge is just a meme about a cute dog rather than a multi-billion dollar phenomenon. Where DeFi is a PowerPoint presentation mistake, not a transformational financial architecture. Where NFTs aren’t JPEGs, digital ownership rights.

At this point, I’m sure they believe “metaverse” is some sort of fancy salad dressing.

This isn't just funny, it's dangerous. Bitcoin Perception calls it an "ostrich strategy." I call it willful ignorance. By sticking their heads completely in the sand in this way, these “elite” publications are willfully creating an information asymmetry that ultimately harms their readers. Their readers—all of whom are intelligent, high-net-worth individuals in their own right who as such should not be actively misled about what’s truly happening.

Since they’re preoccupied reading about the Fed’s interest rate hikes (double yawn), the rest of us are out here actually constructing the future. Their readers are missing out. The FOMO is real, people.

Time To Build Louder!

So, what do we do? We keep building. We keep innovating. We keep meme-ing. As creatives, we’re always challenging ourselves to explore new possibilities and do things that haven’t been done before. We cut through the clutter and confusion with a clear signal.

Let’s just make sure that the revolution we’re all encouraging is not empty rhetoric, but action, purpose and results. Let's launch a Twitter storm. #BitcoinBlackout #LivingIn2025 #EliteMediaFail.

Let’s help them understand that the future hasn’t arrived – it has. And it's powered by Bitcoin.

The suits might not get it. The fudsters will keep fudding. But us, the digital natives, the crypto rebels, the misunderstood, we just know better. And we're not waiting for their permission.

Let's build louder.
