April Fool's Wrong for Crypto Market About 12 years ago, I wrote a newsletter focused on government technology and created a full April Fool's issue filled with fake stories. At the time it was a hit, at least in the feedback I got from readers. I say all this to frame my following statement: I appreciate a good fake story, but hated the joke piece Finance Magnates wrote about the SEC approving a bitcoin ETF earlier this week. If you haven't read, the article, which has since changed its headline to promote the joke, pretended that the SEC held an emergency meeting over the weekend to approve a bitcoin ETF. The article even included a fake tweet from the SEC's public affairs account (which Rick Rolled those that clicked on it, but I'm willing to bet many readers didn't take that step). The joke, though, fell flat for me on two accounts. First, the article did not present itself as a joke. The idea that the SEC held an emergency meeting to approve an ETF is not likely, but it is also not out of the realm of possibilities. The article itself included quotes and background information that read like a normal news story. My second issue comes with the market itself. The cryptocurrency market has no shortage of FUD. The industry suffers from erroneous news reports, rumors, and outright misinformation that could affect how investors act. Doing a fake April Fool's story only adds to that for no real reason. A quick look at Twitter showed that many bought in, users sending out the headline and the link – probably without knowing much more than that, unknowingly adding to the spread of misinformation. So my question today is this: Did the fake story rub you the wrong way like it did me or do I need to loosen up a bit? Hit reply to this email, or send me a note @davidstegon on Twitter, and let me know why. | | | | 5.
