Cointelegraph issues apology after falsely announcing that BlackRock's Spot Bitcoin ETF was approved by the SEC.

This news raised the price of Bitcoin in a short time.

where can I find the famous fake news in the last 5 years?

thx guys ;)

The news was shared by Cointelegraph on X (AKA Twitter), and now, after investigating and confirming the news from Blockrock and Bloomberg, they deleted the post. You can read the whole story on the following page:

• Clarification on sharing false spot Bitcoin ETF news (https://cointelegraph.com/news/clarification-sharing-false-spot-bitcoin-etf-news)

And if you are looking for a tweet in which they said, that Ishare's ETF got approved, it also exists in the page I shared. I hope you will get your answers after reading it. Here is another tweet they made as an apology.

Yes, I have read this article. I realize that fake news has a great impact on the price of Bitcoin, so I want to know what famous fake news has caused Bitcoin price fluctuations in recent years.

I have looked at some news sites but there is no column about fake news. That’s why I posted this post to ask for advice

News channels should beware of spreading fake news. This was unprofessional of cointelegraph and this action by them have led to many turmoil in the bitcoin community. So many people believe and rely on their source of news and would have also reacted when they saw the news from them. They should be verifying the source of their news before sharing so as not to lose the trust of many of their readers. There later tweet is a good way to correct their mistake, hope they don’t repeat same in the future as bitcoin price action is in a very critical stage now.

Cointelegraph should keep its apology to itself and I wonder what would be the fate of those that were in the sell position, will the apology give them back the money already lost? The news outlet should be very ashamed of itself and I hope big bags who lost to this unprofessional act would sue them to know the gravity of what they've done.

It's not by force to dispense what you didn't verify.

I don't think such exist in the crypto space, but using Google for individual cases might be the soluton.

I know that rekt.news records the scandals of blockchain projects, so I was curious if there is any fake news aggregation website.

How to get rich scheme.

1. Apply as intern on coindesk
2. Make a leverage 100x bet on bitcoin
3. Post approval of SEC on bitcoin etf application
4. Close position and resign. Boom! Instant millionaire by a crazy pump on news.

Damn this was so fast happened last night like literally a lot of people got swayed by the news. Clearly show how Bitcoin can nonstop pumped when those bittcoin etf got approved.

How possibility with bigger media of cryptocurrency publishing not accurate information, why not research and make analyze first about their information update have been true or not. I doubt with cointelegraph have have commercial interests to make pump and dump in short time. Have future trading model make it easy for cointelegraph opening buy order before publishing about news SEC approving bitcoin ETF and after few minutes later they try clarification about fake news publishing. Its model adopted by whales when opening their position in future trading, they have already publish with positive news and clarification few minutes later when price have been up.

I remember with update news when Litecoin accepted by Amazon but the company not accepted yet before some media make clarification about their information.

Having different sources is good. While the mentioned site is very popular, there are other sources out there that can provide reliable information. If they are apologizing for the fake news, is this the first time that it has happened? If so, I think they can still be considered a reliable outlet. But for significant news like that, it's important not to rely on just one media source. There are many outlets that would report the same news, which would indicate that the news isn't fake.

Regardless of the reasons for posting fake news, this mistake has already tarnished their reputation. So, readers will have to think twice about fully relying on their news. This is not good for transparent reporting as they promise.

This will be the most insane thing ever done. Cointelegraph is actively examining what caused the posting of that news concerning bitcoin ETF. Who knows, maybe it was an intern who planned this to boost his earnings from a trade that would eventually lead to the price of bitcoin skyrocketing as a result of the news breaking about bitcoin ETF.

This appears to be a new opportunity to become a millionaire, but since the event has already occurred, everyone will be sceptical of any subsequent news about it and will confirm and reaffirm the veracity before reacting to the news.

Or the cointelegraph itself. Who knows but this kind of error is unacceptable since many have been liquidated especially if they edited their first post. Unfortunate things to happened since they are a big news platform which are followed and subscribed by a lot of users even the whales who are watching from the sideline.

  Current Telegraph has already apologized for spreading the fake news but I think they need to work on themselves they need to always make sure that the news is genuine before they post out for the world to see current Telegraph is a big crypto feed platform that is why the news affected many people and they lose money trying to Long the market for profit.

This will also serve as a warning to all crypto investors that all crypto news feeds can't always be accurate, sometimes they may feed the world lies, next time when news about crypto gets online people will be very careful to make financial decisions, not until they clarified that the news is from a genuine source.

I was aware of the news because I have activated some crypto news on my smartphone so I always get notified immediately the news is online, but after seeing the news I was not very happy about it because I believe that the ETF approval is too fast I was expecting this approval at the end of the year or very early into the next year 2024, but now I am happy that it's not a genuine news.

Let's be more careful of the news spread online about crypto, before you make any decision make sure that the news is real.

All those who get information from such bad sources do not deserve to have something good happen to them. From some other sources, it seems that someone from their team made very nice money, and the apology is free anyway.

When I just remember that that news portal paid members of this forum to shill links and that we barely got rid of them, and today they have become some kind of source of "crypto news", then I am not surprised that so many people are ill-informed and completely lost. My advice is not to follow them anymore, and not to post their links on the forum.

They really owe the world an apology and whoever is behind that monitor, the intern they say, is likely gonna feel ashamed of what has happened. This incident will make them better and will verify before they publish a news that will be read globally. The next time they make an error, then there could be possible legal consequences that they have to face.

I can't find an overview or list of the fake news that has happened for the past 5 years. I think if you're looking for them, all you have to do is to allot time and search them manually since everything are published on the web. And if you're going to search for most of them, they'll definitely appear with certain keywords that you're looking for.

The heck. What a nice payday for that intern.

What has fake news got to do with your request for such, are you going to work on the previous events to see how they were being operated in other for you to know how to channel yours and release one as well, because am still surprised on what will historical fake news do to you, maybe you hunt around the internet by yourself if the recent one already provided isn't enough for you, fake news is not what one should brag about or create mind for showing interest on.

The apology is insignificant as it is believed to be a professional premeditated handiwork that was carefully done to trigger the crypto market as what could be the resultant effect on the ETF approval.

More like an early experimental design done to test how the market reaction could be like at the approval of bitcoin spot ETF and obviously the market price really did reacted in an upward way in less than 120 minutes before the news was debunked.

Such news can raise the price or can dump it too.

Why do you care about fake news but don't care to find facts?

Knowing about facts will help you to be less or non affected by fake news, fud in this market. It is a better way for your to survive in this market, avoid loss and can take advantage of panic sell, liquidations to buy the *ing dips and do dollar cost averaging DCA.

I don't waste my time to read all of fake news.

Several times, news was published that only later turned out to be fake, but it rarely happened that the source that published the fake news also published a denial and an apology.
I would single out here some statements/news by Elon Musk or the manipulation of news about the acceptance of Bitcoin in China. Every time it caused a raising price, but now it just looks like price manipulation.

I think that's a great idea ;D
Maybe I was the only one who felt relieved after seeing that the news turned out to be fake and made Bitcoin correct again. Because I'm not ready for a bullrun because I still haven't finished collecting my bitcoin chunks. :P

And it seems that when the Bitcoin ETF is actually approved by the SEC then the market will move faster as it did last night. And I'm seeing a lot of bitcoin flowing out of exchanges today. Massive accumulation appears to be taking place. Maybe people are starting to realize that bull markets can move quickly without waiting for them to finish accumulating.

I doubt if you will find any fake news category on any news website, there might be some news websites that have this category but I am not aware of any (website) but I can mention some news that are not too recent but crypto is not that old dear. so everything is still young here. hehe. Well, here is another piece of news, I found for you and you can read it from the respective link I provided.

• Bitcoin drops $2,000 in value as South Korea announces planned trading ban (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jan/11/bitcoin-drops-value-south-korea-trading-ban-cryptocurrencies-tax-gambling)-->The price of Bitcoin fell by more than 20% as a result of this news.

To be honest, I think you should spend some time by your own and then you will come to realize that, everything seems a little bit scripted (IYKYK).

I have read many articles and many news, but this is definitely not the new one, but you have to find them using your research skills.

OP you relying on fake news can not help you in anyway but rather put more question mark on your thought and perspective towards bitcoin. Fake news have a way of truncating event either for or against a purpose to fulfill the major aim it  was created for. As you can see, people already talked about it so you could know how effective it could be on the bitcoin price. Most times people spill it out just for their own gain because of their influence and personality in the system so they use it in their favour to control the price market thereby achieving their goal. There are a million and one fake news out there if you care sourcing for them but at your own risk.

I initially saw the news on X, I was even suprise to later notice it was fake.
But my question is, why were they in a rush to publish such fake information to the public, is it that there is something they have in mind to drive at or is it that they're trying to get to SEC to make them approve Bitcoin ETH, because this approval has been lingering for a long time now and Rumours have been flying about this approval thing.

Over sometimes now that I have been reading crypto media and news, I have not seen cointelegraph make mistakes or spread any bad news. The Blackrock was a catalyst but I don't know if I should say it's a bad one but shorters were disappointed for such and I fear if they will sue Cointelegraph for that even after issuing apologies for everyone, it was never their intentions because who will hate bitcoin ETF disapprove.

Looking for one of the best place for crypto news, coindesk, cryptopotato,Cointelegraph, decrypt and many more that I can't remember.

Whatever news that is shared without a proper confirmation before sharing can damaged a lot in the crypto space especially when it's being broadcasted or published. I don't blame those who keeps relying on news from such site, after sharing fake news they went on writing an apology to whom they had already given fake information and they want people to start relying on them again for whatever they share across their site without knowing that the crypto space are being driven by news.

That's how they manipulate the market and play peoples decision making, For the news they release then the market reaction we see it really proven that once there's a great news comes up a bullish run will follow after that since many will accumulate to think that bull run might gonna happen after those positive news release. That's why we need to watch out on how those media manipulate the minds of people reading their article since it can somehow destroy us if we hardly believe in their statements and also if we are not careful about taking decisions on the actions we take for that situation.

We need to watch out on what manipulative attempt they want to do since medias are useful tools for manipulators to make their plans to happen.

If you are seeking for famous fake news threads created by many people then use the search bar of this forum and dig up those old information's. For sure you can see a lot of interesting old discussions happened here.

They really should, but after reading their story, I can say, they did not do it on purpose, and it was all just a mistake of the team, which might cost them. Well, this really showed, how much impact these new outlets have on the overall market, and those who used to say that, news are not the ones which have a big impact on the market, they should see now.

Only one piece of news from a reputed new source, scrambled the whole market, no doubt, it was good for the market, but of course not for those who took short positions.

We all sometimes, get into FOMO, for example, I as a content writer can understand the feeling, if things get loosened, they try to put all the blame on the team and say, the news was never authorized by the auditor, but the thing is, this might not be the first time, happening, because whenever a thief got caught stealing, he says this is my first time while it is the first time we got caught him and same happened with Cointelegraph. They got caught.

Overall, We all should not depend on the news from these news outlets, we should follow the main sources. And I am still confused why market is still holding this position, even though the news has been confirmed as fake one!

Welcome to the crypto space mate expect more of this  so you be less surprised next time, similar news may arise in the coming days or months as we approaching the bitcoin halving expecting the bull market a lot of shit will be hitting the media even from those quarters we considered to be of good reputation. The ideal thing to do is whenever this sort of news pops out we just have to do proper digging and research about how legit and factual it is no matter where it's emanating from before trying to be excited about it. It's possible there's something they are driving at or have already driven at and most of us don't know we're merely taking it as fake news that has been published and deleted asap.

If fake news could skyrocket the price of Bitcoin, then what are we waiting for, or won't you be happy to see the price of Bitcoin hit $50k per BTC @ "Doan9269"? Lolz...
However, I don't think asking a question to know what fake news and how it influence the price of Bitcoin to be a bad thing to ask, because having a clue on how each of those fake news affected the price of Bitcoin will give us an idea of what to expect in case of another, of which I just made some research on Google, but yet couldn't find a single fake news like that of "Blackrock Bitcoin ETF approval" posted by cointelegraph.
