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
