The article then goes on to say:

>In fact the picture is rather different: a sorting process is under way

And talks more about the process of penalizing weaker crypto assets, focusing on Tether. So it's actually a balanced and interesting overview of the fallout of the current selloff on what is now becoming a rather large and very complex market all of its own.

I only mention this as your comment seems a bit dismissive based on that one sentence.



Thanks for bringing this up! The good stuff you've mentioned is behind the paywall for me and the intro I can read does look non-balanced.


There are always archive links. It’s a good idea to read the whole article before condemning it.

Bit OT, a further good idea will be to buy the subscription and support good journalism. I am not being flippant, I believe good journalism needs support.


How can one make the judgement that the journalism is good when one cannot read the articles as they are behind paywalls?


IIRC they offer some trial subscription where you can register and read a few articles for free in a month or so. Also articles from "The Economist" are frequently posted in HN and often comments have non-paywalled links. Reading through them probably help you to judge whether it is good journalism or not.
