Crypto media is retarded

You probably knew this

But I’ve seen both sides of the fence now.

On Friday, i publish a video essay on the surge in crypto wrench attacks in france.

since then a bunch of outlets have written it up as "news".

not one of them reached out to me, the primary source.

it's actually kinda sad given that i worked at cointelegraph for 3 years and would happily talk to them.

plus, afaik no one checked the stats.

So, what you read as "crypto news" is one person's reporting, run through multiple outlets, each adding a headline and calling it journalism.

it's basically hearsay + a byline.

worth keeping in mind next time you read a crypto headline.

The video in question

GM ☕️🫂 That’s actually wild… and kinda depressing. Real journalism should start with talking to the source, not copying headlines from each other 🤝 Respect for doing the actual work.

Probably even just an AI generated summary, which unfortunately is the way "journalism" works these days.

Do you want to get a daily email digest of retardness as one-pager? Setup a google-alert for the word Bitcoin. Bitcoin/Crypto news in 2026 translates to "add the word Bitcoin or Crypto to your headline, then add the most trending SEO keywords and push publish" - such as "Bitcoin tanks 5% amid Trump ...

I am sorry that your informational skills are getting abused this way 🥲 At least they pervert them so much that your value can’t be recognized anymore 😎

You use the word "crypto" but you don't define what you mean.
