In late November, the leading crypto trade publication CoinDesk published a story about the latest antics by one of the industry’s more outlandish figures. The article recounted how blockchain billionaire Justin Sun ate the banana he had purchased for $6.2 million at Sotheby’s from the modern artist Maurizio Cattelan.

The article was titled “I Watched Justin Sun Eat the World's Most Expensive Banana. I Don't Get It.” It provided context about the art world and the banana-eating stunt, as well as background on Sun, including his run-in with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which has charged him with fraud. Sun and Tron have moved to dismiss the lawsuit. The Coindesk report also noted that Sun’s lawyers have threatened media outlets with legal action for reporting on the use of Tron, the blockchain he founded, for illicit finance.

Soon, CoinDesk faced pressure of its own. After Sun’s team complained about the tone of the piece, CoinDesk’s owners, the crypto exchange Bullish, demanded editorial staff remove it from the publication’s website, according to sources familiar with the matter. Tron is a major sponsor of CoinDesk’s flagship Consensus conference series. (A version of the article still appears online through a syndication agreement with Yahoo News.)

In response, sources close to CoinDesk say the site’s journalists raised concerns over editorial independence, including at a newsroom meeting last week with Bullish CEO Tom Farley and CoinDesk CEO Sara Stratoberdha, and asked for the article to be restored with an editor’s note.

The incident highlights the growing tension between CoinDesk, an award-winning outlet whose reporting is largely credited for exposing the massive fraud at FTX, and its new owner Bullish, which purchased the publication late last year. It also reflects the increasing influence of Sun, who bought $30 million of tokens from President-elect Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial in November and joined the crypto project as an advisor.

I included CoinDesk in the PMBug News page a long time ago and it has worked well for coverage of crypto news. It's also one of the only crypto news outlets that expose an RSS feed that makes it possible for us to include in the news page. Hopefully, CoinDesk doesn't devolve into a captured propaganda promotion tool.

On a separate note, seems like more smoke that something is very rotten with Justin Sun and his crypto endeavors:

How low will it go? My short is still active and don't need it to turn around over a weekend.
 
Interesting look at bitcoin / crypto in this one. It's not a plug, not a hit piece. It's a look at things from a different perspective than usually posted here. It's 18 mins long. I watched it but you can listen to it in one tab, play around the forum in a different tab. Remember - this is an opinion piece. Take it fwiw and dyodd.
