I love that FanDuel commercial with the mechanical bulls. It perfectly captures something important about news consumption today. Many of us have one favorite news source. But do you really trust that one source is always accurate? Add another source, then another, and before you know it, you’re in a room full of mechanical bulls all claiming truth, fact, and salvation.
Each source throws you around differently, but they’re all just machines programmed by someone else.
The Solution: Don’t Trust, Verify
This is where Bitcoin’s core principle becomes essential for everything, not just transactions. Don’t trust, verify. Cross-reference information. Check multiple sources. Do your own research.
Even Legitimate Platforms Get Flagged
Just last week I witnessed someone try to download Strike.me and the browser warnings started immediately. Here’s the thing: Strike is a completely legitimate Bitcoin-only exchange with Bitcoin-only data and Bitcoin-only tools.
But because it’s new and different from traditional financial platforms, automated systems flag it as suspicious.
Quality Bitcoin-Only Platforms
If you’re looking for legitimate Bitcoin experiences, here are excellent Bitcoin-only platforms:
- Strike.me – Bitcoin payments and exchange
- River.com – Professional Bitcoin financial services
- BitcoinWell.com – Simple Bitcoin buying experience
Own Your Decisions
Whether it’s news sources or Bitcoin platforms, don’t let anyone else do your thinking for you. The mechanical bulls of media and automated warning systems aren’t always right. Do your research. Verify the information. Make your own informed decisions.
That’s the Bitcoin way.
