"Overwhelming evidence shows..." - the whole article is a great example of many of the tactics journalist employ to manipulate people's opinions.

It's too tiresome. One of the strategies is the "overwhelming" part - listing an "overwhelming" amount of anecdotes or other articles, that give the impression of overwhelming evidence, but is really irrelevant. To address them all would be an overwhelming amount of work.
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.
