My additions about the bitcointalk hacks were deleted because the citations (from coindesk and others) are not considered reliable sources.
I have no qualms about Coindesk in particular but given most bitcoin news is grossly inaccurate, it makes quite hard to find a reliable (by their standards) source.
Based on what I saw on their "
reliable sources page" coindesk is definitely not considered a reliable source. Did not even see even one single "reliable" crypto website in that list...
There is consensus that CoinDesk should not be used to establish
notability for article topics, and that it should be avoided in favor of more mainstream sources. Check CoinDesk articles for
conflict of interest disclosures, and verify whether their parent company (
Digital Currency Group) has an ownership stake in a company covered by CoinDesk
The fact that they tend to be anti-crypto is pretty obvious:
QuartzQuartz is considered generally reliable for factual reporting,
although some editors argue that caution should be used for science and bitcoin topics.
