There are many news about banks "blockchains" lately; especially on Coindesk. What does have Bitcoin with these blockchains? Nothing ! Then why does Coindesk make so much buzz about that?  What is the interest behind these news? There are hundreds in the last 6 months regarding to different blockchains without ANY relation with Bitcoin. |

In regards to Coindesk, not sure where I red before but it seems their one of few news sites that get money from many sponsors to publish an article that would drive attention to those particular brands. It's just a recurring news that Banks are interested in Blockchain technology and not BTCitcoin so they could study and implement something base on it that they could at least control somehow. Same old news all the time.

They probably get paid to publish them by the banks! Some great discussions about these Bank Blockchain are out there, very interesting talks - Just banks making people think they want to be a part of Bitcoin when really its nothing more than a smoke screen. |

Coindesk does a lot of paid articles. About half the time when I reference a company when doing an article about possible Blockchain applications, I'll have heard about it on Coindesk. But I think the benefit of this is that Coindesk is drawing attention to the fact that the Blockchain can be separated from Bitcoin and do things that Bitcoin was never really designed to do.

Again, so many news on Coindesk about banks blockchain. I doubt the banks are paying Coindesk to advertise... Then, why Coindesk is keep pushing these news? |

Coindesk is a news site so must always "produce" articles... So if there is anything to do with Bitcoin or blockchain, it will appear on the website.

I guess they think greater acceptance towards the blockchain technology means greater acceptance towards blockchain applications like bitcoin. ...or as many people said above they just get paid to do that  . |

in short. the website is called "coin" desk, not "bit" desk.
so its not limited to bitcoins. and can talk abot altcoins too.
i personally hate coindesks lack of independant research and investigations as the copy and paste articles normally lack evidence or have mis-interpretations of the source.
that said, i feel coindesk is like the financial times (as an analogy only) where the OP is analogically asking why the financial times mentions the pound or yen or visa rather than just talking about dollars

(most of the websites like it publish for a fee and they most often just copy and paste the PR that the person paying to have it published has provided them with) thousands of site pro bitcoin are doing the same and spamming n posting garbage once the tide turns its going to be a flood in the opposite direction, and pictures of printing presses on fire   |

What is the interest behind these news? There are hundreds in the last 6 months regarding to different blockchains without ANY relation with Bitcoin. It easy to understand what have to do if you go down the every page of coindesk and find the word "About". The first sentence if click on it is: CoinDesk is the world leader in news and information on digital currencies such as bitcoin, and its underlying technology – the blockchain. The digital currencies (note "currencies" and not "currency") are more than 600 and not only bitcoin. Bitcoin is the King and have the Lion part of the news but must be place even for the simple citizens without which the Kingdom of bitcoin doesn't exist. |

A lot of banks, among other firms are looking into blockchain-based solutions right now.
Unless they are private chains, it would probably be good for bitcoins if they were successful.

That's right.But mostly coindesk writes about Blockchains, private, permissioned, without any token etc. These are often articles about distributed databases and how horny banks and other institutions are about that. I would be happy if they would write some article about one or the other altcoin, what barely to never happens except uncovered scams. So imo OP is definitely having a point here. On the other hand coindesk is a company which wants to make money and therefore everything related to crypto and "Blockchain" is fine for them to get published which I can fully understand. |

Right but they are presenting the things like : X bank is running a blockchain, Y bank is testing the blockchain" Real title: " Majority of Securities Firms Plan to Explore Blockchain This Year" - Coindesk is suggesting that all these news are related with Bitcoin which is false. These companies have nothing related with Bitcoin and they will not have. 100% no bank is paying for shits like these. The banks are not advertising on Coindesk. I think they are just trying to mislead the readers with these news and to pump up somehow the BTC price... |
