Crypto Twitter going off about this Blockworks article glazing Movement when the Blockworks founder is an investor 

Disclosures are super important when you're running a financial media organization where trust is paramount

@cobie @functi0nZer0 nope. you implied that we published this article because i am an investor. that is incorrect 

our editorial team published this article because they wanted to. i don't see or hear about our articles until they're on the site, including this one

@JasonYanowitz @functi0nZer0 My statement is correct regardless of how you read implications. I said you must have seed bags, and you have seed bags. The fact that they’re undisclosed is a fun extra. 

We can argue about intent all you like, I don’t really care. 

The article is such low quality that I do…

also it is insane they are strawmanning a defense about expectations of them reviewing every article published for conflicts

uh no you just give the media co a list of your investments?? it….does not seem that complicated?

extremely blessed highly favored always grateful

Yeah especially for the founder.  That should be a list that every reporter/editor has easy access to in order to ensure proper disclosure.

Crypto moves so fast that it's difficult to ensure proper disclosures across an entire organization without outright banning people from participating (which is worse imo) 

Not an easy thing to manage but when your company is built on trust then you should handle these situations better

Media is a very tough business and it's not like they're printing money but I agree that the key leaders/execs investments should be disclosed and easy to access for any editor/reporter especially for a company that size

def agree w how fast it moves making it hard to ensure proper disclosures and that’s the luxury of being one of the leading media companies — you can afford someone to handle the extra hassle

i’d be more forgiving if it was a company of 5 people. but 80? ya any key execs conflicts should be kept up to date lol
