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.

I read it and you treat Coinbase's atrocities with kid gloves meanwhile taking a recklessly aggressive approach to criticizing others. It is not balanced whatsoever.

You don't have to trust me. Take a look at the comments in this thread. Use your own judgement to evaluate the article. Is this the standard of work readers can expect? Do you feel like this is a solid representation of what TheBlock is all about?
