She doesn't mention the whole tether fiasco at all, which is the strongest point against bitcoin currently in my opinion.

Tether is a completely unregulated de facto 'bank' that makes up a very significant portion of the demand for bitcoin. If that blows, bitcoin will inevitably go with it.

Buying bitcoin is betting not on bitcoin, but on tether.
