Boycott CCN - Spreading negative news and mentioning we are begging whales

[jvdp]

I just went through the news article by CCN but such worst thought and article by them. They started the article stating we (crypto community) continuously begging big investors to on board over bitcoin. Must need to avoid news site and paper CCN.

Let's hope we will find more bull run coming to trash this s***y centralized site's fake news.

Skimmed through the article and I didn't seem to find anything regarding 'begging' but rather continuously relating bitcoin and conventional asset classes. I'm not defending anything regarding CCN but you may have overly analyzed the said article. Also, ultimately it's the choice of institutional investors and those meddling with the Dow to place their money on cryptoassets, and not because the community is 'begging' them but they simply want to take advantage of the opportunity for profits.

CCN (not CNN by the way as your topic title says) is a known shitsite that has been publishing clickbait articles for a very long time. they basically publish things based on the mood of the market. nowadays a lot of people are actually begging for imaginary "big players" to come in and buy the coins they are bag holding so that they can make profit. i didn't get that from this particular article but that is a reality which you can see if you read some of the posts around bitcointalk too. they sometimes even go as far as begging the government to intervene and "pump" the price by "regulating" cryptos thinking if that happens they can become rich!!!

The small number of Crypto currency supporters that reads CNN or some of these media shills, will not influence their total viewership world wide.   They will just laugh at our attempts to boycott their news platform and this will strengthen their negativity towards Crypto currencies.

We just need to discuss these articles on public forums and sites like Reddit, where you can actually counter the FUD that are spread in these articles and we should create our own Crypto currency websites to get a positive message out there.

Exactly, if you go around the Press board, the OP can find lots of shitty articles being posted and once your read it, they are all garbage and everything was put up because they want revenues for it. I did go around the around, not much to say, the same gibberish and rehearse article. Begging? we don't need to ,if money will flow again into the ecosystem, then it will. And this is just another FUD and non-sense article.

boycotting news you disagree with is not a good thing.

then all news would be boycotted.

[niisarearning]

Crypto community never begged whales to enter market and invest . Any investor find the opportunity in new technology its been more than 10 years for mobile application market still its able to adopt 50 billion market . Crypto currency 2 times ahead of that in this bearish market. So CNN can reconsider this fact why investors are investing their hard earned money . Its simple they found potentiality in blockchain and new mode of currency.

Every new site comes with some form of correlation, and for the same if we begin to boycott there won't be any new source provider for Cryptocurrency. CCN from view is one amongst the most preferred cryptocurrency news provider available for the users. Every news website reveals some negative news at times, for which we can't say every news from the particular website is wrong and against cryptocurrencies.

We know the media should not be trusted whether it is CCN or CNN whatsoever, Because they only show us what they want us to believe to they don't care If it is right or Wrong, True or False it doesn't really matter to them as long as they get a profit out of it. The News that really need to publish are  ignored by them. they're just good to pass  wrong idea to the people.

[Yaunfitda]

No need to boycott them, if you have been in crypto for a long time, you will understand that crypto journalism is one of the worst, in the industry. Everyone website is just copying each other and just putting some spin around.

Or most of the time, they will just quote someone and taking everything out of context. I would say get immune with those websites and don't be too emotional.

[MakeMoneyBtc]

It's typical for this kind of news websites to spread different kind of news that attract more people to follow them so most of the times they are either clickbait or only partially true. I've never liked them and I also never follow them especially for this reason, they probably don't even know much about bitcoin but they post articles about it trying to get more views.

[Harlot]

These fake crypto news media sites are jabbing as everytime and I think we don't need to get offended by it most of the time as its how the media works. The problem here is most of the crypto related news sites I see don't really have any quality news or at least news of their own as theybare all recycled from one another. That is why I don't make them my first source when I get news as they aren't really reliable, they can't even create their own news story and they will always connect everything pn why the market has moved that way.

[okala]

The media have always been negative about cryptocurrency and I expected nothing less from them because their are own and operated by the government and we all have known what the government stands is with bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

[kingpin4321]

You don't just expect everyone here to boycott CNN just because of that article.
Are I must ask who are the "we" in your context is it bitcointalk users or bitcoin holders?
Nevertheless we all should no what to do with news or information that can create FUD

[ribowo76]

CNN is a propaganda tool for certain people, I believe. Whatever their interest in bitcoin, the news will not affect the development of bitcoin. Especially nowadays, the bitcoin community is getting bigger

[Siren]

The way i see it?why affected on their statements when that is really true?many of us are looking for another player to enter and buy crypto to help the market grow and i see nothing wrong about this

Looking for investors is just like a real state agenthos asking for someone to buy property because this will bring him profit same as the company.

So whats the problem about that?you are just exaggerating to react mate.dont take it seriously instead use this as motivation

[alisafidel58]

Nothing new about those Media who always portray bitcoin this and that. US media news agency always spread negative news about bitcoin on a weekly basis. There's no point in boycotting that news agency it's not really worth the hassle.

[Mr.Ease]

It would really depend on who you consider "The Crypto Community"

If it's people who jumped in after bitcoin skyrocketed past 10-15k... Then sure, I can see why they would be bitching

But if your more selective on who can be in the CryptoClan - Then I doubt many are begging for regulation or some whale to pump said shitcoin 

The real crypto community understands how great times can be, and also how incredible devestating it can be.

CNN loves emotions... That's why i wouldn't bother listening to them more than I would the Colbert report

[zuziekatee]

There is nothing that seem like begging in the said article even though I am not a fan of CCN. Obviously investors will come in when the see great works and adoptions that Bitcoin is doing. You can’t beg someone to invest in what will benefit them only if they see it that way and not other way round. The way we see things and interpret me really matters a lot and it ususlaly have effect on our decisions.

[jakelyson]

OP should really check his title and change it accordingly. The website is CCN not CNN. Now people is throwing hate to CNN which is unfair to them.

We should be used to it right now, there are lots of bad publicity aimed at bitcoin before. This is nothing new. But you see, even with a bad news article, bitcoin still keeps growing.
