HISTORY IS LONGER THAN YOU THINK no global leader alive has governed under a hard money standard. not one will that always be true? i don’t think so bitcoin disrupts — not by accident, but by design

Great post by @intangiblecoins. Full agree. The last six months of crypto coverage have fully and finally shattered the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect for me at the NYT. Hard to read it now on anything. I feel it as a real loss.

i really want to believe that NYT is trustworthy but that has become nearly impossible the whole framing of this new crypto story (yet again) relies on the (false) premise that the prior admin’s attack on crypto totally normal it wasn’t the attack was widely rebuked for years

Important post by @intangiblecoins. The NYT narrative is completely disconnected from reality.

I, unfortunately, agree with every word that @intangiblecoins just said about the @nytimes here. To say this article was biased or lacking context would be like saying water is damp. The dishonesty also makes it hard for crypto folks to bother with the NYT going forward.

I do appreciate the reporter's candor in the comments to the online version of the story: "there is no indication that president or the White House pressured the S.E.C. to go easy on specific crypto firms, and we did not find evidence that the firms had tried to influence the

I 100% agree with Alex here. But I also get more confident as the deranged hit pieces come in quicker succession... This group wouldn't be running a constant barrage of hit pieces if they weren't worried that market structure legislation was making real progress.

When I read this NYT article on the SEC's approach to crypto yesterday, I was outraged and submitted a comment on the article that has not been approved. I suspect it may not ever be approved. I happened to save the text since I was on my phone and paranoid about losing the

@AchimWar @thetrocro the NYT article spends a while explaining how cases were dropped, and some of those cases were against donors to the president. (it implies impropriety. let alone the fact that in the third image NYT expressly states that they have no evidence of the president intervening or any

an even more thorough explanation of why framing the SEC pivot as surprising or “irregular” is totally misleading
