New study: Why misinformation about Bitcoin is so persistent

Many statements about Bitcoin, such as the old narrative that Bitcoin would only have harmful effects on the climate, are primarily based on the work of various authors who spread alleged facts about the largest cryptocurrency without reliable data. The authors' statements mainly included negative aspects about Bitcoin. They initially paid no attention to the advantages offered by Bitcoin.

Dr. Simon Collins has studied this phenomenon for the Digital Assets Research Institute (DARI) and has written a working paper titled "Rampant Citations and the Persistence of Misinformation about Bitcoin".
