I have some friends working in this sector So there are real news (they buy it from news agencies, it's subscribtion based) And there are bulls#it (fake) news written by bulls#t paid writers Pay attention that bulls#it news are often in section "entertainment" because they cannot classify it as real news Also bulls#it news are cheaper than real news, because you only pay fir bulls#it writer and today probably just use gpt The worst kind of bulls#it news are paid scandals (some girl shows up and tell that some politician raped her), secret advertisement (writing something good about company x), stock manipulation (remember analyat who said that btc etf will be rejected on January) and so on So basically what I think that there are 2 narratives in regards to btc - pump and dump. Sometimes they get command to pump, then you see neutral or good articles, later they get command dump, and you see a lot of fud I don't have a proof but I think big bank groups pay for the articles P. S. Everyone can order a paid article, you can order BBC to write that btc is currency of the future and they will write it

Not so. I saw Trace Meyer on BBC's Newsnight ten years ago.

Captain_Planet

I can't remember the site but it was a fairly mainstream site and it was an article which went into reasonable detail. It detailed the limited supply and decentralized nature. The first thing I learned in economics was about supply and demand, I had always been interested in the freedom of the web so put two and two together. I honestly thought I was too late though, I read about mining but sounded complicated. This was late 2012... Caught my attention again in the 2013 bullrun and I fomoed in. Anyone who says it was not in the mainstream media in 2013 is bullshitting, it was on the BBC, mentioned in most mainstream news outlets. Of course there was a lot of talk of it being hacked, bubble, tulips etc. I'm pretty sure 99.5% of people that say they had not heard of it by 2013/14 DID hear about it but paid no attention.

lostparanoia

That's exactly it. The guardian, BBC, SVT and a few other outlets are not dependent on clickbaits and/or false reporting. They don't care about which news "sells" or which news enriches their owners. They are publicly funded and their mission is exactly that, to provide a counterweight to private news networks that has all sorts of money-driven agendas. These are the places you want to go if you want real journalism.

ahleeky

For the BBC?

lostparanoia

Ah "the echo chamber", funny that you mention it. The right wing in the US gets their news basically from one single place, fox news, which is a news network controlled by one single multi billionaire family who actually has control over which "news" they should be touting and how they should be spun. I, and most others in the western world get our news from many different sources, some of them which are paid by taxes and are required by law to be as unbiased as possible, like BBC, SVT and others, removing financial and political interests from their news reporting to an as large extent as is possible. These news networks are constantly independently monitored for bias, and if a reporter is found to be consistently reporting with a particular bias, they will be disciplined or even fired. Obviously, it's impossible to remove all bias as we are all humans and we all have our own bias, but if you just think for a small moment, which of the two options sounds more like an "echo chamber" to you? 1: A single news network which editorial direction is controlled by a single family. 2: Many different news networks controlled by many different entities, some of them financially independent, independently monitored, and required by law to only state facts in an unbiased manner.

During our weekly chess match, where it can take 45 minutes to 2 hours because of the debates we have, I mentioned BTC to my friend/opponent and was met with immediate criticism and overall hatred for BTC and/or crypto currencies in general. A week later, last week, he messaged me for BBC, beers, bowls, and chess. I said yes, and when I arrived and we started playing, he asked me how to get in to it. People are slowly coming around, but yes, overall, I feel like of the hundred or so close friends and family members that I have, like 4 of them have any interest, let alone actual holdings.

Because most of crypto is pump and dump shit. One study by the BBC found that 75% of people who buy crypto lose most/ all of their money. That shows that is sensible to be wary.

in the text of the article, some clues to answer your question are revealed Money she was qttempting to launder was linked to fraud Lied about her business dealings other suspect at large BBC is, as usual, light on details so a quick Google of her name revealed: declared under £6000 in income last year conspirator (the one who did the fraud) perpetrated fraudulent wealth management schemes Only traveled to countries without extradition agreements with China First claimed it came from mining, then later that it was a gift says she was duped by the co conspirator so, what money definitely came from fraud, and her actions definitely constitute money laundry, according to all the news I could read in 10 minutes. Hope that helps

Not unprecedented, indeed repeated three times so far. The last two fell. BBC/WS says, "It will fall again, watch." just bought back in.

The BBC found that around 75% of people who invested in crypto lost most or all of their money. That is extremely negative compared to investing in the stock market.

I’m watching interviews of American and British soldiers from the front, most recently Avdiivka, so I would say I might be slightly better informed than you are. I travel around quite a bit, EU especially, you don’t realise it, it’s okay - but Russians do their own research - it’s our boys are over there in the trenches. My cousin is currently at the front lines. Im not really another dummy westerner eating what BBC and Fox News telling me about China bad Russia bad, so for that reason I dismiss your comment, as quite a valueless one, you don’t really know what I’d going on, but let’s be honest you aren’t an Eastern European and couldn’t care enough to get into it. I suggest you learn what a proxy war is and how it is used to spread military influence over regions. Dig deeper in what US is doing and what are its ways of doing politics, research the conflicts. Also there are next to none Ukrainians on the lines, it’s all contractors, I’m sure western media does not cover Nazi troops and ex ISIS contractors either, does it

Bitcoin news article on the BBC: [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-68434579](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-68434579) Surprisingly not terrible - unlike most of the BBC reporting on Bitcoin. It's still got a bit of bias in there (they can't help but mention illicit activity) but it's honestly not the usual tripe that comes from the beeb regarding Bitcoin... Only skimmed it but it's mostly accurate/neutral.

I disagree, it's not pointless. BBC has no adverts because the costs are covered by the license. I honestly wish more countries did this.

springularity

Hehe, It makes for a good joke but no, you don't have to just for watching TV full stop. To clarify, you need to pay the licence fee if you watch or stream the uk's terrestrial channels (like the BBC etc) that are paid for via the license fee. If you don't watch those specific terrestrial channels then you don't need to pay the fee.

Reality+ assists global brands, including BBC Studios, ITV Studios, FIFA and Paul Frank, to navigate the transition to the new generation of the web through immersive experiences including games, the metaverse and digital collectibles, and will use Hedera Network Services exclusively for all its projects going forward due to its market-leading performance and functionality. Hedera offers low, fixed fees and immutable royalties enforced on-chain at the protocol level, scalable transactions, and a carbon-negative footprint, making it the premier network for offering the latest decentralized technologies. Hedera is purpose-built to deliver seamless Web3 experiences at scale. The network can process 10,000+ transactions in a single shard and on-ledger, without compromising on network security, sustainability, or stability. Reality+ will use Hedera to mint a staggering 1.4 million digital collectibles, which have already been purchased by gamers across its portfolio of games. Hedera's consensus is also incredibly lightweight, allowing for the cost per transaction to be very small - around $0.0001 USD.

Perfect_Ability_1190

Reality + CEO Tony Pearce explains that when he co-founded the company back in 2017, the biggest-selling blockchain games were trading card games such as Gods Unchained, where players could buy packs of digital cards, play them in the game, or trade them in NFT marketplaces. Pearce wanted to create a new game based on the concept but wanted to find a brand that had millions of fans and thousands of great characters that could be used in the cards. "I put my thinking cap on, and it came to me. Doctor Who was it! A global IP with more than 60 years of great content and a huge fan base. Even better, the BBC was based 30 minutes from my office and not 11 hours on a plane to Hollywood." Pearce came up with a game design similar to Top Trumps where users purchase a pack of digital cards and then challenge an opponent trying to win their card — a Dalek will take on a Cyberman, for example. "I eventually got a meeting with the BBC and presented this new concept. Almost a year later, and many, many meetings with the BBC, they agreed to license to us the global rights to Doctor Who."

SWMRepresent

Not sure what you’re talking about, BBC is usually pretty accurate, even if they have certain bias and when they do report something incorrectly they often issue retractions as any respectable media org should. Could you link me to one of those “blatant propaganda” reporting?

slvbtc

"Correctly"? BBC? No. Even 15 years ago it was blatant propaganda attacking Dubai solely because it was a tax free jurisdciction that wealthy individuals could use to cease paying taxes in the UK. All the UK wanted to do was make people think moving to Dubai to reduce their taxes was a bad idea, and here you are still brainwashed believing it all.

SWMRepresent

So BBC was correctly reporting something on dubai 15 years ago and now it’s suddenly propaganda?🤡 What about slavery though? What about freedom of speech?

slvbtc

This is true. All of the misconception surrounding Dubai stems from attacks on it by the BBC 15 years ago when it was still a poor developing city. But today Dubai is a more just place to work and safer place to live than almost anywhere else on earth. Dubai has come such a long way in terms of developing laws to protect workers and becoming highly tolerant of western norms and other religuous beliefs over just the last decade. People who do not like Dubai were brainwashed by BBC propoganda 15 years ago and havent changed their views. They are still living in a past the doesnt exist anymore.

I've just been reading up on the recent Ponzi scheme coscoin after seeing an article about it on the BBC. I hadn't heard about it prior but I've noticed a few people commenting on their sub Reddit to get in and withdraw as much as you can before it ends. But couldn't money be taken back through clawbacks? Like what happened with some people who took money out of Bernie Madoff's scheme had their money clawed back?

Mainstream media still have absolutely no idea what crypto is. I recently saw where the BBC wrote that a Bitcoin transaction uses all the water in a swimming pool or something stupid like that. The mainstream media still thinks Bitcoin is a tech stock.

Quixote0630

I agree. But all forms of adoption will be hindered if people believe that crypto isn't worth looking into, or isn't a safe and viable option for storing money/making payments. The SEC's actions create a knock-on effect that leads to lawsuits like the one reported in this article. This is also front page news on global media outlets like the BBC. Scandals like this are the only crypto-related news that the average person is exposed to, and whilst some is justified, like the whole SBF thing, I think the SEC also leans on this as a tactic.

Plonker2000

I’m embarrassed to say that I once listened to what passed for BBC news. It’s a pity they’ve fallen so far. They’re trying to convince the British public bitcoin isn’t worth it, it’s too harmful for whatever reasons, but bitcoin will prove them wrong. And the British public if gullible enough will be left behind whilst other nations innovate using a hyper secure network as there base layer for commerce.

Captain_Planet

Naive? I didn't say 9 billion people would invest in it, I was trying to help you understand my point. Why should you have a god given right to get rich off 1k dollar investment when you are 10 years too late? My point is you only think it is expensive because 1 Bitcoin is expensive, however the unit of 'one' Bitcoin is arbitrary, just like the size of a gold bar is. You measure the true value in Satoshis. Yes you could have got rich from Bitcoin if you had got in early and now you can't, but so what? You've had 13 fucking years to get into it, if you are that slow then don't blame the rich for finally getting into it, we had a massive head start. And yes Bitoin was widely known ten years ago, it was literally on BBC1, ITV, Channel 4 Radio 1, Radio 2 Radio 4, extensively covered online since 2012 at least. Lots of people have big amounts but it is still probably the most unstacked against you thing around. You aren't going to become a rich by buying a bit (but then why the fuck should you?) but it will still give you a great return and help you into later life.

There's a psychology behind this which is sometimes overlooked. Do you want to be considered a fool? Of course not. When a scammer with a Korean girl profile photo follows me on X, I feel (briefly) offended for being taken for a stupid fool. Those old guys are subject to the same thing. On Facebook, I used to get Rolex ads targeting me. Those didn't work. Then over-40s male inferiority complex products (T-shirts for fatties, testosterone supplements, beard oil, etc.) Those didn't work either. Now Facebook bombards me with actual scams as advertisements (e.g. "Martin Lewis inadvertently slips his secret for becoming a millionaire" with a fake BBC page). Case 1: algo thinks I'm rich Case 2: algo thinks I've got a midlife crisis and am insecure Case 3: also thinks I'm poor and stupid All because I'm not clicking or buying any shit at all. This is what people face, hundreds of times a day, on the internet. The internet is actually dead, and what's meant by the internet is just 4 sites for most people: Youtube, Facebook, X, Reddit. That's it. And it's full of bullshit. People feel offended and sick of the bullshit. Here's a test. Search for bitcoin news on Google or DuckDuckGo. It will show you scammy-as-fuck crypto news sites. If you trawl through enough of them you might (but unlikely) find an actual news provider saying something about Bitcoin. That's it, you see. They think it's a scam because of the psychology of the internet and how it tries to turn people into a sort of product.
