Yeah basically you’ve run into worm hole of “protect the source” diatribe of the media conglomerates
🎯
As far as I aware, there is no unified repository. You’d have to cobble together a picture from the BBC’s corrections page, X posts, parliamentary reports, Ofcom studies, and scattered journalism.
It’s a fragmented trail, reflecting both the difficulty of holding a major broadcaster accountable and the decentralised nature of public pushback.
I had a similar thought!
The BBC’s FOI exemption is deeply troubling, shielding serious scandals from scrutiny. This was the first response I received from the BBC when I tried to hold them accountable for their misinformation and disinformation.
I raised concerns about this exception with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), and they said the BBC exemption stands; see their response below.
The BBC has inflicted notable harm by consistently promoting incorrect and misleading narratives about Bitcoin. This perpetuates negative public perceptions and overshadows its potential as a transformative technology.
By framing Bitcoin in a way that often lacks clarity or relies on outdated stereotypes, such as associating it primarily with criminal activity or environmental concerns, the BBC has skewed public understanding and stifled informed discourse.
The BBC’s influence as a trusted news outlet amplifies the damage: its narratives have historically shaped opinions that deter adoption, investment, and innovation in a technology that could revolutionise financial inclusion, decentralised systems, and economic sovereignty.
This is particularly harmful given Bitcoin’s surged value, reaching a record high of around $109,000, and when global leaders are increasingly recognising its strategic importance, such as the US establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
By obscuring Bitcoin's potential to empower individuals and challenge traditional financial systems, the BBC has delayed societal benefits and reinforced a status quo favouring established institutions over technological progress and freedom.
People deserve transparency. The exemption should be scrapped, but then again, so should the BBC.
I made the first Bitcoin transaction at Stringfellows! 💋
The Motley Fool just endorsed XRP, saying:
“As an investor, it makes perfect sense to buy and hold both of these assets.”
But does it? Even they admit XRP and Bitcoin are very different. One is a censorship-resistant protocol, the other controlled by a company. One is sound money, the other a “zombie coin” (Forbes).
XRP has been tied up in SEC lawsuits, its price driven by speculation, and its supply controlled by Ripple.
On the other hand, Bitcoin is the only truly sound, permissionless monetary network.
The Motley Fool should know better.

Yes, it’s very disingenuous.
In June 2023, I published "Why I believe the Bank of England’s CBDC consultation amounts to a national scandal", highlighting concerns over transparency and control.
Since then, the Bank of England has promised legislation to protect privacy and maintain access to cash. But officials are now expressing doubts about launching Britcoin before 2030, citing privacy concerns, costs, and public apprehension about government control over finances.
As the House of Lords' Economic Affairs Committee aptly described, CBDCs are "a solution in search of a problem," potentially costing taxpayers significantly without clear benefits.
To date, there have been no successful CBDC launches when measured by adoption. Every attempt so far has failed to gain meaningful traction. So why are we doing this?
Also, the choice of the name Britcoin is certainly interesting. Whether intentional or not, it risks confusing a state-controlled currency with Bitcoin, which operates outside government control.
Is this a win for privacy—or just a delay before rollout?
