"Overwhelming evidence shows..." - the whole article is a great example of many of the tactics journalist employ to manipulate people's opinions.
For example it is irrelevant that there are many shitcoins and many scammers. What matters is if there are non-shitcoins. Bitcoin seems to be doing well.
In the dot com aera, there were also many scams and bad startups, but I think nobody would want to cite that as proof now that the internet is bad.
