At Least Four Factual Errors In Just 89 Words

89 words (and 4 numbers). That’s all New York Post columnist, John Crudele, acquainted was appropriate to aback up his banderole assertion. “But wait,” I apprehend you cry, “That’s not abundant to put advanced a able-bodied articular argument, or alike a solid opinion.”

And you’d be right. It was about abundant to accomplish at atomic four absolute errors, and of advance appropriate the blank of several important considerations. There was additionally a annoying abridgement of absolute news; bold that it was declared to be a account article, and not a very-expensive-per-word column.

Let’s breach bottomward what appears to canyon for journalism at the New York Post. We’ll booty it a book at a time.

Not A Great Start If You Can’t Even Quote Yourself Correctly

No, Mr Crudele, you didn’t, although you acutely anticipate the pun is actual able as you do use it regularly. You absolutely aloof tacked a bit on the end of an different column, abandoning ECB arch Mario Draghi, and afield conflating cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. You wrote ‘They [Bitcoin] are allotment of a scam’, after abetment up the claim. Still, it’s a column, so opinions are fine.

True, and in this December 2024 assessment allotment you do absolutely use your amusing ‘Bitcon’ pun. However, your ’email from a reader’ rather trips itself up as the absolute con in this article.

No. Again, he didn’t. He described cryptocurrencies as not actuality absolute currencies, but abstract assets, with aerial risks. That’s not the aforementioned as a betray or con. Plus, you already mentioned that in your ‘last column’…

So, Where Is The News In This News Article?

Nope. It comatose on Friday, and went a lot lower. If you’re activity to sensationalise again do it properly. And is that the account element? You’re a bit late. It already aback up appear $8000… or does that not fit your narrative?

No. No it won’t… and if you can ascertain ‘soon’ for me, again I’ll appropriately abode a bet on that. Well it worked for fil₿fil₿.

Nope, abyss application Bitcoin leave an enduring trail, and are absolutely easier to catch, according to the DEA.

It’s Easy To Criticise Something You Don’t Understand

The New York Post shows already afresh that its handle on Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and how they assignment is none existent. Two weeks ago they were confusing Bitcoin and shitcoins, but at atomic there was a account adventure absorbed to that, about uninformed.

It is accessible to criticise article you don’t understand… but it’s difficult to do it effectively. These 89 words are absolutely a badly-executed hatchet job, and Mr. Crudele should be ashamed by his acutely wilful benightedness of the affair on which he writes.

I aloof ambition I got paid as abundant per chat as he does.
