Just when you thought Fortune couldn’t sink any lower with their Bitcoin slander, the publication tries to relate a neutral technology to “the alt-right” and “white supremacists.” Is this what journalism has devolved into? Unfortunately, in the case of Fortune, the answer is yes. This is not the first time they have used their publication as a weapon.

On-chain analytics provider Santiment has reported that the supply of Bitcoin sitting on exchanges has fallen to levels not seen since May 2019. This is usually considered bullish as investors take BTC off exchanges when they’re in a position to hold and are not interested in selling. Santiment called it a “good sign of sell-off risk decreasing.” Bitcoin prices have been falling this week in the wake of a renewed crackdown in China and another round of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) that followed it. Since Monday, BTC prices have

During a recent episode of the Unchained podcast, host Laura Shin let the author of The Bullish Case for Bitcoin, Vijay Boyapati, and Ethereum Foundation Researcher Justin Drake take a stab at the question.
