Crypto lobbying group slams Australia’s ABC for “sensationalist” bitcoin coverage and files complaint
Jinse Finance reported that the Australian Bitcoin Industry Body (ABIB), a cryptocurrency industry organization, has filed a formal complaint with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), requesting a correction to a recent report containing multiple false statements and factual errors about bitcoin. In its complaint, the association stated that the report portrayed bitcoin as a highly volatile asset and a tool for criminals, while ignoring bitcoin's value in grid optimization and humanitarian aid. "This report distorts the core use of bitcoin, conflates it with criminal activity, omits long-standing publicly available information, and is not based on facts. Instead, it uses sensational language to mislead readers," the Australian Bitcoin Industry Body (ABIB) accused.
