CoinDesk censors Monero, loses credibility

[mineshaft]

Monero is the currency which is most stable! How can it lose some credibility?

[bingopoint]

Nothing can stop the XMR spreading!!!

Coindesk censors are blind. Monero is fine.

[coinamigo]

Monero is very credible currency by the way! I'm not sure that guys from coindesk are clever.

Cryptsy has a lot of markets but some of the coins with market caps in the top 50 are missing. Monero being an example.

It happens. Cryptsy is not the be-all and end-all of the altcoin world.

As I predict four days ago nothing can stop the XMR spreading!!! That is why you have no reason to buy other currency.

It is more obvious than a so-called captain.

Haha! Nice reference. Maybe that will show them that Monero is the best!

[giveBTCpls]

I just don't get the link between Monero being censored by CoinDesk and the coin lossing credibility? Why is this a loss of credibility specifically? Credibility seems like a vague term thrown within this context for the sake of FUD.

[newuser01]

I wasn't aware of this. If it's true, I'm disappointed.

Now you know

I too thought this was common knowledge

[asdlolciterquit]

What? They lose credibility? Its THEIR choice what they want to do with their service

Sure it's their choice, but biased news sources who intentionally withold information from readers are not credible.

totally agree!

Monero was 3rd in volume among all coins yesterday, and is now in the top 10 by market cap.

Maybe Coindesk will notice Monero when Shen publishes the paper and merges the code for Ring Multisignature.

Man, that is fucked up.  I wonder if the GUI will get a mention when it comes.

Do you have any idea what is their motivation for not covering Monero?

It makes sense they are likely being paid to pump technobabble such as ETH.

I think they would be most motivated to pump those who kick back with advertising expenditure.

In my past experience, this is the way mass media works. I bought advertising, my product got reviewed.

Always follow the money trail when searching for explanation.

Mass media is a business. In the crypto-currency arena, this works most profitably by pumping unicorns that have no viability whatsoever so as to siphon $millions of n00bs' lunch money back through the insiders to those in the media who don't bother to investigate if they claimed technobabble has been peer reviewed.

Never rule out the possibility of nefarious political intent. There are many bad actors out there who would love to see a global all-seeing blockchain.
