"Bitcoin Is Evil"

Published in New York Times on 2013-12-27, "Bitcoin Is Evil" declared Bitcoin dead or fundamentally doomed. The piece argued that Bitcoin's fundamental flaws — including volatility, scalability limitations, and lack of intrinsic value — made long-term survival unlikely. Bitcoin was trading at $747 at the time of publication. Bitcoin saw explosive growth from $13 to over $1,000, driven by the Cyprus banking crisis and speculative interest.
