Bloomberg - total fucking idiots!!!

[yayayo]

You have to imagine that there are a lot of people out there that are actually willing to pay for this kind of journalism. It's unbelievable that in today's world where you can research a topic on the internet more effortless than ever before you are confronted with such kind of pure misinformation. But maybe bloomberg is on a mission to spread such misinformation to prevent potential users from understanding and using it properly.

However as it happens that I personally know a few journalists I'm not surprised at all. These people tend to quickly sort every kind of information into some kind of personal mind grid, even if it means bending the truth. Their working style is extremely superficial and they are not interested in true insights - I would even go as far to say that they generally lack basic technological and mathematical abilities - , yet they tend to think highly of themselves.

ya.ya.yo!

The question.
Where the hell did they get that idea?
Is this some kind of a movement to make people get the wrong idea?
I am using bloomberg with my work so I thought they are right as always. But now?

Who, that time they made something strong ! Those idiots will always impress me ! Telling so much bullshit wouldn't be possible for me even by wanting it.

Oh my goodness, what on earth is this article, it gives us all the wrong information, it is very bad especially for the newbie or common people who just want to start to join bitcoin world, it will give them the wrong idea on how bitcoin work and how bitcoin is earn, how can they just published an article without knowing the truth, it is ridiculous

Mainstream media never gets the technical details right, so they shouldn't even bother with going into them. Even the specialized media makes lots of mistakes. In Bitcoin.com they constantly make articles that interpret the lightning network in a good way (then again who knows if it's in purpose due an anti blockstream agenda)

You really shouldn't have to expect this from such a big name a Bloombergs, I would expect their articles had to be proofread before publishing.
Sad to say that this isn't even the worst article I've read about Bitcoin, in terms of misinformation.

I am not surprised to see this kind of journalism on Bitcoin coming from a source like this. You have to remember the editor will have to be

more knowledable about the subject for them to approve the articles, and in many instances these editors are even more clueless than the

journalist writing the article, so the editor do not want to look stupid, and he just accepts what the journalist is feeding them.

But the editor could contact a bitcoin expert and pay him $1000/hr to ask: "Is the OK, or bullshit".  In two minutes the bitcoiner can say this is bullshit.  So, for a cost of $33 (two minutes) the editor can have a decent story with integrity.   

Next time you read a story on a completely different topic, one in which you are not an expert, just remember it is also likely to be extreme bullshit too. 

Integrity is long gone from reporting.  Journalism today does not include even a tiny obligation to be correct.

This is something what we all already knew...

Yes, probably the author only know more of blockchain but lacking good knowledge of the Bitcoin in it entirety.
It is highly important if someone wants to say or write any about bitcoin or cryptocurrency should have in-depth knowledge of it before embarking on that journey of his.
