We’ve covered the Neutrino debacle extensively and I’ve tweeted multiple times about severe issues with Coinbase. Mike Dudas is just the CEO and has no say in the editorial process.

We’ve taken less than 30k from Coinbase. If you think that it affects our coverage in any way, you are delusional

The whole reason pharma gave doctors $3 pens is because they know that even small amounts of money has outsized influence.
Not to say that the Block is biased - just that, when taking money from the subject of coverage, you have to go to great lengths to avoid that perception.

I can tell you with honesty that Coinbase has no influence in what we cover and how we cover it.

Right, right.. because Neutrino remains its own independent company.. we get it. Don't worry, I'm not going to report you.

Dudas plays no effect in what we cover. Believe it or not, it's true. Some of the articles that covered Coinbase are paywalled. Such as this one (excerpt below): theblockcrypto.com/2019/02/25/mon

So, I take it TheBlock thinks a single professional trader not understanding how stop losses work is a travesty compared to the easily explained and understandable acquisition of a company accused of facilitating the murder of journalists and political dissidents.

Your coverage of Coinbase's murderous past looks like coverage of a stop loss. Your coverage of a stop loss looks like coverage of a murderous past.

Yes, WTF.. thank god. I can't believe there is someone willing to stand up to lowlife journalists selling fake news, recklessly and wrongfully tarnishing the reputation of upstanding citizens in order to catch a few more eyeballs. I know, it's a sight for sore eyes.
