1 Scrivi un articolo per spiegare che il #bitcoin ha perso il 60% del suo valore, che oltre la metà dei suoi investitori lo ha comprato negli ultimi 12 mesi, che un terzo di loro non sa nemmeno cosa sia, e un'orda di massimalisti invasati ti assale e copre di insulti, dicendo 2 in sostanza che non sai di cosa parli, che sei un incompetente e/o un idiota, che il futuro è delle cripto eccetera eccetera.

1 - Chiasso is a small, anonymous town on Italian border at the extreme southbound Canton Ticino, Italian speaking part of #Switzerland. A place which has been well known for decades as a centre for money laundering of Italian nationals capitals fleeing away. An offshore haven. 2 - It's a transit for many legit and unlegal businesses. When Switzerland signed an treaty with Italy on tax informations and ruled out bank secrecy, which was for decades the engine of its bank industry, Chiasso banks and its whole financial industry were badly hit.
