Yes it's mostly all noise. All hype and propaganda should be avoided. I will stop and read about news about the largest miners sometimes, keep tabs on what they're up to. Facts (not hype) about the ETFs. Things that are happening on Bitcoin, an unusual transaction, etc, may pique my curiosity. Anything related to the Bitcoin core devs (or a new BIP), who tend to try very hard to stay out of the news.

It is precisely the ramping up of the, effectively, propaganda articles that I speculate are funded and created by the market makers, which tend to give me an indication that some fuckery is afoot. The more they try to drive a narrative, the more I am inclined to push back against what they are selling to the masses.

That's when I start to engage in risk management, because, contrary to what ideologues believe, we do not live in a Bitcoin economy yet.

All financial news is full of hype, not just Bitcoin. I can't believe I used to pay over $300 a year for Bloomberg News and used to think it made me a more informed trader. 80% of financial news is trying to sway you to do something with your money that will benefit somebody else who paid for that article to be published.
