Topic: CoinsSource Journalist Aleppo Allesadero Fired - page 2. (Read 4434 times)

You are really clutching at straws now, you just render your arguments invalid every time! You have zero proof of anything..Give up, you lose, deal with it like a man instead of a 9 year old! Hell i know 9 y/o that deal with fail better then you. I'd be ashamed of yourself if i was you. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if that hits you soon and you neck yourself!

Guess you didn't read the full article.



Aleppo's article included no such disclosure. His would've read:

"I'm an unethical journalist so don't believe a word I write"

Article actually written by xc spin doctor! 

Full disclosure: I am the writer of this article and I work for XC. I believe the account of events to be true and well substantiated. Nonetheless it is important for readers to be aware of my subject position and therefore the scope for reinterpretation that the facts may allow from differing perspectives. No situation is fully determinate and thus no situation only admits of one possible reading. However I stand by the opinions represented in this text and believe them to be faithful to the facts.

you deceitful coward.




Have you anything to say for yourself?

Please do keep a eye on him but were pretty harsh from what i've read ...

edit : "he's still a very poor journalist" how so ? is this a opinion BTC fact ?It seems as if you had targeted him because of that one article and i haven't even seen his name on the forum anywhere

No i just don't mind these claims, everyone is entitled to their opinion and whatever else, there is nothing i can do to stop it. On Bitcointalk anyone is free to express their opinion good or bad, fud or not. This is just the unregulated, decentralized nature of digital currencies.  

In this scenario, i believe you are pretty much wasting your time with this situation. There was 1 mishap with shadowcoin article where it did not get cross-examined by our editors, and we apologized for that. Everything else will remain consistent with what we've done and tried to achieve.


(edit) Personally, I don't appreciate this skepticism, and fact-less based arguments. I sent you a very thorough response through PM, and yet you've not inclined to quote it any shape or manner.

Spoetnik already crowned himself king when it comes to this sort of thing, i don't foresee any uprising against him soon for that throne.

"He tries to put a positive spin on this by stating the coin has since risen to 18k satoshis lol"

Hello Ib88,

Thank you for contacting me regarding Alleppo.

The quote above made me laugh pretty hard. Anyways, i appreciate your great concern for Coins Source's journalists, but i'm going to clearly state here, Coins Source has almost no agenda, but to help progress the digital currency climate into the future.

Several of our articles have been taken out of reference, several coins that we write about are during a major market-movement, to highlight (most of the time) the good behind the coin, and why it was successful. I'm personally an advocator of all good development, good coins, and etc and in always contact with a vast amount of developers.

Now in certain instance there is a lot of confusion behind coins, most recently blocknet. We put forth our time and effort into really digging into the fud, and finding out the source of it all. We pain pictures in positive, negative and neutral lighting (such as blocknet) and let the reader decide for themselves.


Coins Source isn't the highest funded journalist site, and i can say here, with 100% certainty, we have never been paid for any coverage, any article, or anything whatsoever outside of the advertising, sponsored stories and trust verifications. We truly run on a tight budget, and we work our hardest to bring quality news, and investment advice to the reader, we have a strong passion and desire to do what we do.


Sometimes articles come up for scrutiny due to bias, which is found almost everywhere. But since we like to cover relevant coins, markets they come under the heaviest light. We make sure not to influence markets in any shape or manner (after the keycoin incident)


While not everything is clear, we are working our hardest. We can assure you that, we want to reach out to all digital currencies and make it a global force, which we've slowly doing, through effort, whereas few have dared to venture.


I really hope you can see the light from our perspective, alleppo is a good journalist and does not mean any harm, is not paid-off or anything you would regard him as.


Feel free to contact me anytime, my communication channels are open for anyone. Come speak with me mate, i won't bite.

Also the CEO of CoinsSource has commented in this thread and hasn't refuted any of the claims. What does that tell you?

Whats with all the newbie accounts? Grow up and get some real evidence because all you have is conjecture.. If a few people and an article can upset your business it wasn't that strong or good to begin with.

So go outside, get some fresh air, stop lying and clutching at straws!! If you supported decent projects without premine and all this offering gimmick. You might not even have this issue, so really its you own fault. Own it and move on!

alessandro should be fired for what he has done. Purely unprofessional what he did, and it doesn't help the fact that a cryoto news website also became a medium for spreading FUD which should have never happened without looking at all the facts and information. Not only did the FUD put a bad taste in people's mouth on BTC talk, but now even the casual players in crypto may think wrongly of XC and BlockNET. Extremely disappointed in coin source, its lost all its legitimacy for news at this point. I know things have been made right, but I don't understand how that could even be accepted onto the website. You guys do have a review process dont you??

Please do keep a eye on him but were pretty harsh from what i've read ...

Market Analysis
The market for ShadowCash has been increasing over the past few days. With an initial drop from 66k satoshis to a mediocre 17k satoshis, some began worrying about the coin’s actual market prowess. However, ShadowCoin impressed users by drafting in the full host of features, such as ShadowSend and ShadowChat – both of which are features unique to this coin.

This suddenly led to a steady increase in value with, ShadowCash enjoying a steady but distinctive increase in value with the price rising to 18k satoshis a piece. This 0.71% increase in value has led to some users pumping the price slowly but surely to ensure the coin’s value represents its development.

tk808, Thank you for taking the time to respond to my PM. I had a long-winded response but won't send it as I see you've pulled the article.

FWIW, I've read many good, informative and unbiased articles on your website. I commend you on that. I've particularly enjoyed the XC articles you've published in the past being an XC investor. However, all the positive news pertaining to XC has been completely wiped out and made redundant by this one appalling article by Aleppo. A lot of people in crypto are just casual investors who have read that article and now associate Dan Metcalf with the word scam and have already exited his projects and won't ever be back. What's done is done.

You might not think there's anything sinister behind Aleppo's motives but the trail of evidence against him is quite compelling. At the very least he is an extremely poor journalist. Read his other articles, especially the market analysis sections - He always speculates on a coins potential value. I don't believe a journalist should ever do this as it amounts to offering financial advice based on their own opinion. Anyway I'll drop this Aleppo vendetta. Regardless of his questionable morals, he's still a very poor journalist. I will be keeping a very close eye on him.

I still think you should issue a public statement with an apology to Dan Metcalf. If the world of crypto is ever to be taken seriously then we need to hold ourselves to the same standards as other industries. If a newspaper wrote such libelous claims based on such conjecture then they would be forced to publish a public apology. CoinsSource should do the same.
