Good! They are competing to be the leading press media and try to attract as many readers as possible to generate revenue. We, as a cryptocoiner, pick the best site to read the information about it.

Most of them are there only for the ad revenue. Nothing else.

Well! the more sites the better .
Why does it matter if most of the site is having same article or talk , it's news and everyone covers it in their own way.

it costs a couple grand per month to operate a basic website for news ... especially if you are the one person writing all the "articles" ... and if you've got 10,000 + btc or so ... each dollar up makes you more money than the total operating costs of the site + your time ... basically each and every one of the "bitcoin news" sites is operated by people with an extreme heavy position in bitcoin gaining value for profit ... ad revenue is irrelevant compared to the price of the bitcoin when you're heavily invested in bitcoin ... just ask yourself ... what would i do if i had 100,000 btc ? ... i'd make a website with nothing but positive slanted news in regards to bitcoin ... duh ...

From what I've seen, most of these news sites have more than one person writing the articles. For example, I can see four different names on the front page of CoinDesk alone. Although I'm sure the writers themselves have lots of BTC so it would be in their best interests to write favorable articles about Bitcoin.


Just out of curiosity but which news sites spread FUD, misinformation, or fake articles?

That reminds me, are there any negatively-slanted Bitcoin news sites? I know there was Buttcoin.org which liked to poke fun at the Bitcoin community but that one was satirical and not at all supposed to be serious.

everyone wants its slice, it's natural, that so many site pop up, this is true in everything in the world when something new come out or get the world attention

There is a thread or post on this subject on this forum... I searched for key words, but cannot seem to find it. {Maybe one of the other forum members can post a link to it... but I will keep on searching for it, and I will update this post, with the link}

The point I wanted to make, is not all Bitcoin news sites are above board, with the content provided. {They will post FUD and fake articles to attract attention to their sites, and this will increase their traffic for better adverticement income}

You should always "check" them against comments made on forums like this. {They get exposed VERY quickly} To take one example .... the announcement made, Coinbase - first licensed u.s. exchange for bitcoin... and it listed 24 jurisdictions.... some people checked it, and it was false. Some of these jurisdictions had no registered licensing for a bitcoin exchange. {Hype misinformation.... ?} you decide.

Things are blown up, to sensationalize... it's like that all over the internet, and not just with Bitcoin news sites.

I hadn't noticed that there aren't really any anti-BTC sites out there. I think BTC has a great future but I would love to watch a major TV show called Fuck Bitcoin or whatever

Yup. That's why an ad blocker comes in handy when visiting these sites  And some of their ads are too annoying for the user that reading the news they've come for isn't achieved without too much hassle going around.
