Title: 2013-07-30 Yahoo Finance: Bitcoin Is Money… It’s Just Terrible At It Post by: Arvicco on July 30, 2013, 08:45:23 PM http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/the-exchange/bitcoin-money-just-terrible-205752180.html
EDIT: Seems like the author is not a journalist at all, but just a pusher of a competing "regulated global peer-to-peer money transfer platform". No wonder his badly written hit piece is so glaringly biased: "Why is anyone even interested in a non-regulated P2P system when my superior regulated alternative is available?"

What a coincidence to see it here. ::) I was updating my site data from yahoo. I read it just now from Yahoo Finance. And notice the article. Title: Re: 2013-07-30 Yahoo Finance: Bitcoin Is Money… It’s Just Terrible At It Post by: lexxus on July 30, 2013, 08:58:50 PM And the author of that bull... is:
Quote A technology and alternative payments lawyer, Robert MacGregor is the founder and CEO and founder of nTrust, a regulated global peer-to-peer money transfer platform.

Yes, I was just fishing out more detail when I saw your post. Hilarious. The author owns nTrust, which would be hugely threatened by BTC. His webpage says modestly "Worldwide domination in 3 years". Even funnier, his company originated in 2010: "nTrust was founded on the vision of creating a better way to send money whenever and wherever people need it most. In 2010, a trip overseas inspired us to think beyond traditional banking to create an online service that is safe, easy, and most importantly, accessible." http://dev.ntrust.com/tag/rob-macgregor You'd think Yahoo Finance might be a bit more alert re conflict of interest issues, but....

Yahoo has sucked for a long time ... now they are just a grey-faced government lackey that sucks.

I wonder if their email still works... Might check AOL and CompUServe too. ;-)

He blew his mind out in a car He didn't notice that the lights had changed A crowd of people stood and stared They'd seen his face before Nobody was really sure If he was from the House of Lords.

Yahoo on the other side, what kind of usefulness has it nowadays? They failed nearly in each aspect of the market. Within 3 years : Bye Bye Yahoo. :)

Title: Re: 2013-07-30 Yahoo Finance: Bitcoin Is Money… It’s Just Terrible At It Post by: Kprawn on June 21, 2016, 05:54:09 PM I really did not expect this from Yahoo and are seriously considering switching to another search platform... I also thought they would spot such biased nonsense, but this is so blatant the blind next
door neighbour would have spotted that... so it must be deliberate. ??? We will see more misinformation and re-direction when Bitcoin becomes more mainstream.... When their competitors start things like this --> http://www.coindesk.com/microsoft-bing-search-engine-bitcoin-currency-conversions/ and they do nothing, it should give you an idea where their loyalty are.. ::) Not to mention --> http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-browser-brave-responds-cease-desist/ ;D |
