Bitcoin journalism is fucked.
I started The Rage because I'm tired of investors and advertisers telling me what to do for below minimum wage compensation.
What we need are publications willing to l...
Yep, agreed.
A lot of my investigative pieces were thrown out or brushed over while i was at Cointelegraph.
Eg: showing how, from A to Z, Bitboy and other crypto influencers, scam people. (i even interviewed with Bitboy for a job to show how the scam works).
I pitched BM for a few similar ideas but they went cold.
I still managed to expose a few truths—egs i reported on two exchanges' insolvency before they froze withdrawals.
One of the funniest was me asking the CEO of Zipmex about his company when I had it on good authority that they were insolvent during the Celsius collapse.
He confirmed on the phone to me they were solvent. All is fine bla bla bla. So i published an article with headline: "Zipmex CEO counters rumours of insolvency" bla bla.
And had to publish a BREAKING article literally 20 minutes later saying ZIPMEX IS INSOLVENT. My call had forced his hand.
I'm now independent but i have money from sponsors. Goes without saying that the sponsorship money distorts my view.
The space needs MUCH MUCH better journalism.
Kudos to you. I'd like to help where I can with ideas and scoops.
