ABIB Files Complaint Against ABC Over Misleading Bitcoin Coverage

The Australian Bitcoin Industry Body (ABIB) has filed a complaint with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) about factual errors and biased reporting concerning cryptocurrency coverage. The ABIB cites concerns regarding misrepresentations of Bitcoin’s purpose, unfounded conflation with criminal activity, omissions of well-documented use cases, and reliance on sensational language rather than credible evidence. They argue that ABC’s recent coverage reduced the discussion to outdated tropes about price swings and US politics.
