CoinDesk Retracts Two Opinion Articles
CoinDesk, a well-known cryptocurrency outlet, has retracted two opinion articles. The first article compared Justin Sun, founder of the Tron blockchain, with Do Kwon and Sam Bankman-Fried. The second article, written by Elizabeth Bisbee, head of investigations at Chainalysis, claimed there was no scientific evidence of the software’s accuracy.
Main Points:
- CoinDesk retracted an article comparing Justin Sun with Do Kwon and Sam Bankman-Fried.
- CoinDesk also retracted an article by Elizabeth Bisbee claiming no scientific evidence of Chainalysis software’s accuracy.
- Lola Leetz, the author of the retracted article, criticized CoinDesk for not informing her and for not disclosing the parent company’s investment in Chainalysis.
- The article was republished in Bitcoin Magazine.
- CoinDesk has faced criticism from the crypto community for their actions.
My Hot Take:
CoinDesk’s retraction of the two opinion articles has raised concerns about their editorial standards and transparency. Not informing the authors and failing to disclose the parent company’s investment undermines the outlet’s credibility. CoinDesk should strive to uphold journalistic standards and maintain unbiased reporting in order to inform and serve the crypto community.
