The more history I learn about NYT the more convinced I am that it should be more shocking how much credence that institution is given vs the "problem" of fake news. The benefit of fake news is that it is slowly teaching society to question what they read. We should question everything we read/watch. It is far more dangerous to have blind trust in institutions like the state or NYT than it is to get tricked by a singular fake news story from time to time.
But you know what... my opinion doesn't matter. I don't need to express my opinion on the latest fake news story. What matters is my actions. Proof of work as an idea is not new but it is interesting how bitcoin has given me a different perspective on many things in the context of words/thoughts vs. action. Action is always better. Skin in the game always trumps words.

Love it. Keep it up guys.

Why is your article not sourced? How do you know any of this?

The Bugle is 'satirical', like The Onion. Never fails to shock the bejeebers out of me when I read such a post. They'll be getting a letter from my heart doctor...
Maybe you're being satirical too?
reply
Oh it is hard to determine what is satire and what is legitimately trying to pass as news these days. They should make it much more clear on their website.
reply
Wrong. The ones publishing fake news and pretending to be the real news are the problem. Not the ones who are up front about it being satirical

Every week there’s someone, I love it

Haha right We've all been there I guess

If your brain can't make the difference, then you wouldn't make the difference between what is posting NYT. And you have a serious problem then.

Jesus fucking Christ the fuck? MY BAD???? I am done with this site you guys are assholes.

Take a breath. Their about page says this...
The Bitcoin Bugle is an independent publication launched in January 2023 by Richard Greaser to create fake news relating to Bitcoin. Our goal is to create news so fake that you will think it's real. Our goal is to be entirely community funded with no support from sponsorships so we don't end up looking like Pomp.
Taking 5 minutes to check for yourself before commenting avoids this response. Or don't do that...

@FrickFrickFrick I don't know if you will see this but sincerely here is some advice. Don't take "people" online personal. None of this is real. I'm including myself here. We are all personas. You are as well. You are better off adjusting your perspective of online discourse. I'm not excusing or condemning anyone's behavior online but when you realize it isn't real... it changes the way you receive communications. I don't know you, you don't know me. We could have 1000s of exchanges on this site. You still don't know me. Don't kid yourself. I see this a lot online. Our online personas are just that. Personas. Not the real person.
Take it or leave it. My advice here is sincere, I have allowed others to trigger me online. I still do at times but now I realize, that's my flaw. I need to see the Internet for what it truly is.

Yikes! I come back and there's all this (the replies below)...
Hope you're okay dude.

I mean, they got me the first time too but seriously, if you take 5 minutes to look at their site it is pretty clear. Look at the author names for example.

Because The Bugle’s news is so raw, It does not need any sauce!

New York Times

LOL
Yeah, the NYT should be considered satire at this point.

wait to see NYT citing as "sources" The Bitcoin Bugle πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

That will be a glorious day
reply
They don't. It’s satire that only borders on humorous. You can safely ignore everything the Bitcoin bugle posts.
reply
The funny thing about this title is the only part that isn't completely true is "formally". Functionally it would appear they have actually done this.
