A service that sends you a text message when there is big Bitcoin news?

[Michael Robinson]

For example, if news that the ETF has been approved gets published, you immediately receive a text to your phone?  Or Amazon accepting Bitcoin, etc.  I don't want to miss a major price catalyst because I didn't happen to refresh Coindesk 50 times that day, so was looking to see if anything like this was available.

I intend to know as well. If the news can be sent to my email. Then my Iphone will get instantly as well. I think it is a great opportunity for BTC start up companies who plan to focus on BTC data analysis. The first hand news or data can guide our trading.

I think i want this service too 
But usually, they send email / notification to your smartphone (that news apps)

You should request at news provider if you really want it

Even if there was I doubt you'd be able to tailor it so specific to when Amazon starts accepting it. You could use rs feeds but you're still probably just going to have to keep your ear to the ground in some way.

I don't think there is a service that does that, but thats a pretty good idea, if they would do it in my Country, they do nothing, I might even be the only one mining bitcoin too XD

I have not heard of such servicebut it would really make sense to have one setup.An excellent idea though.

I always found a good source is Twitter with the top Bitcoin news tweeters. I have usually always caught good news for the price of BTC back when I had enough coin to actually trade.

The idea of receiving text news is acutally not bad,  and if you can pick your criteria of have choices on what kind of news you would like text to your phone then much more better.  Sometimes people just dont have the time and search the news and to get news out of no where, where you dont need to look for it might be the answer.

bitcoin doesnt react like that. you are wasting your time. just buy as much as you can stomach and hodl.

Actually something like this is working right now at https://www.coinprices.io

Would you pay a modest fee (say $5 a month) for a service like this that sends text and/or email alerts with important information, including the ability to monitor specific address(es)?

[proofofarat]

One that alerts only when it is actually good news!

Whenever you respond to a request for a product or service and ask if the requester would be willing to pay for said product or service, the answer is almost always "no".
I call that: The Goodnews Everybody Universal Law of Technological Entitlement.

Problem is you often don't know if news is really big until a week later. at least, a lot of headlines i think are big have no immediate effect on price, and sometimes the price makes a big move and it takes me a day or 2 to find out what the catalyst was. anyway, I think your best bet is to use IFTTT and use a RSS feed as input, and an sms as output. trick is to find the best RSS feed for your needs...

Set bitcoin price alerts both ways on your phone so you know when shit goes down.
