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…

extremely blessed highly favored always grateful

ok i will just say it: if cobie is pushing back on your ethics or comms you are probably wrong

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

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?

They still do generally speaking but it's harder to ensure quality as you grow and expand

idk what happened but back in 2022 I swear they produced high-quality content

It's not just media. I think we should all wear nascar suits with our bags on them. An engineering team with unknown bags is just as important to know.

yeah his stance on that was surprising to me too 

especially after seeing the same thing happen to the Bankless guys over the last couple years

it's interesting that Jason doesn't understand the need to disclose his own investments, even though I 100% believe he had no say in this article and never does, it's obviously a legal risk

glad someone else noticed it, all i got was replies from movement bots shilling it haha

Five reasons Movement stands out in the crowded field of L2 blockchains:
