We're sorry to see this happen. Crypto media is a tough business and crypto PRs see this from the front lines. Wishing the entire team of ex-DL news all the best in the next chapter. See you all in the next pitch. 💪

Our CCC members on the ground in Denver had a lovely meet up! ETHDenver may be a little quieter this year but there's a heap of work keeping us all busy.

Crypto has a "credibility for sale" problem, and it’s costing founders their reputations.

We analyzed 2,893 press releases over four months to see how the "wire service" machine actually works. The results were worse than we thought: 62% of crypto press releases come from projects flagged as high-risk or outright scams.

Here is how the crypto press release distribution industry is laundering reputation.

In solidarity with all the journalists🤝

The ACJR is publishing this letter in solidarity with journalists and ex-journalists at crypto . news who wish to remain anonymous for personal protection.

I analyzed robots.txt files of 50 crypto news sites to see how they treat AI bots.

Only 3 sites block AI, and CoinDesk blocks the most.

But all 3 do it inconsistently and miss some bots.

Working on a story for @DecryptMedia about AI companions—apps that talk, flirt, and evolve with users. If you’re developing one (or have), I’d like to hear from you. DMs open. #AIcompanion #aigirlfriends #aiboyfriend

🗞️#Crypto news you should care about so far:

🏦Brazil and HK Central Banks complete settlement of cross-border trade transaction using smart contracts & digital currencies
💶Digital Euro to pilot mid-2027; roll-out in 2029
🤯Circuit judges skeptical of SBF appeal arguments

[Camila Russo @CamiRusso]

Journalism matters.

The accounts cited here delivering breaking news rely on... journalists.

This is not a jab at Blockworks -- it's great they are finding a profitable vertical in crypto information.

But crypto is not fine without newsrooms and journalists.

The opposite is true: crypto doesn't have ENOUGH quality journalism. We need more investigations, more scoops. We need reporters doing the legwork, not just KOLs spouting their thoughts on X.

Uncovering dirt, fact checking, data crunching, putting faces and human stories to this mind-boggling industry, UNCOVERING DIRT, etc... all the hard work that's under appreciated but so crucial.

It's why I'm here, and why @DefiantNews is here.

jk pr/comms people are some of the most t-shaped operators in the game - see across functions, manage chaos and somehow make it all sound intentional. The job description should honestly read: think like a strategist, act like a firefighter and communicate like a diplomat.

Mad respect to everyone doing this work with so much grace ILY @radio_leila @davidjgoosey @candicekteo @miakoddda @0xcoolgirl @__arielle__ @chizhao @julie_mo @emma_nibhroin @Ruth_De_Freitas the whole @Crypto_Comms_ crew + tag whoever I missed here 🫶

@laurashin why are you gatekeeping "the kicker" ?
