Why? The news is legit as it was posted on as press release distributed on different finance-related big websites. It is also clearly stated in the news headline that such person invest in a crypto trading platform.

Quote
JUST IN: Goldman Sachs and Barclays have invested in Bitcoin and crypto trading platform Elwood Technologies.
Blame the telegram channel you're subscribe to not the news coz the news doesn't related to bitcoin investment as quoted.

You can't seriously tell me this is your first time?

I was on Twitter, Telegram, even Discord and Slack, then crypto came and ruined all of it around 2016 onwards.

I deleted all that crap, cause of all the spam. Yes I liked crypto but the spam and scams came to me everywhere, and Twitter I guess saw all my forum talk and internet searches and suggested me 99% shitcoin spam.

This was me without following shitcoin groups. Did you expect different things joining/following influencers?

Clickbait news articles exist since the early years of both the internet and mass media.
Fake news existed even before the internet and the mass media.
There's no reason to get angry at some clickbait fake news.You just have to do the research and try to find some reliable news sources.
Expecting Youtube/social media influencers to be honest and reliable is the same as expecting a hooker to love you forever,for who you are. Grin
Are you desperate to find bullish news about Bitcoin?Don't worry,OP.They will come after a few months.
I've never even heard anything about this Elwood Technolgies crypto trading platform.They probably aren't a significant player on the crypto market.

Here is another article with the same information ==> https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-15/goldman-barclays-invest-in-alan-howard-crypto-trading-platform

In a way it has something to do with Crypto currencies because Elwood Technologies is a cryptocurrency trading platform....  Wink So OP actually got angry for nothing.  Wink

I am not saying that influencers are some times not full of bollocks ....but this time it was not the case.

Enjoy....

Said it before, YouTube influencers are not real. They are just there to make money and nothing else guys. In fact its not worth it to follow such stuff on telegram as well because they could take you to the wrong direction as well. These days all the social platforms are just there to make money. Create some videos keep publishing them until they get shit loads of subscribers who believes in them and keep watching the video on daily basis. They show the advertisement, they get paid believers get screwed in wrong investments.

Its good you researched it before publishing. There are noobs who would just believe in such news and think there are opportunities if we go down to that road. This is just general news, but think about the influencers who would be spread rumours of shitcoin projects.

Why the hell people believe in them or even follow them I don't know because they only speak crap about the market and are paid influencers spreading rumours but the mistake is on part of people believing them and taking investment decision based on what they say without doing their research.So best is to stay away from them and use your own mind.

It's happening all the time and no one can totally avoid clicking such news. At some point everyone will fall for it. It only gets worse when you access some bitcoin content through smartphone and the google app starts tracking any bitcoin content online and notifying you all day long. This is the most annoying way to get notified about the worse clickbait crypto news disponible on the internet.

I think these kinds of news only lose for those claiming bitcoin is dead a new altcoin is going to take its place.

In my country this is something normal, for example the person will hear that in place Z something X happened and when it comes time for the news the person will see something else and then the person will understand that what they saw first was disinformation (fake news) as we have called these kinds of things. In the crypto market this has reached a scary level, it is the same as in my country, that's why I stopped reading news about cryptocurrencies a lot because they are news with rumors and few truths and this trend is not changing and I highly doubt it will change anytime soon

So it was a clickbait thing that you hate @OP, isn't it?  I think we should be used to this kind of trick.  It is widely used in the industry so getting one once in a while should not irritate you.  You can just put them on "ignore".

That is just sad. By using this tactic, they simply spread the false ideas and information that can lead people to make the wrong decisions. That is not only irresponsible, but it is downright harmful, especially for kids and others who might follow these actors.

Indeed spreading false rumors and wrong information is a sad thing that is why we need to verify it through other sources but verifying them is a hard task because often times publisher of these wrong information spreads it on different sites with different publishers' names.  The sadder thing is when reputable sites exaggerate things just to get more views and clicks.

I feel you man, Influencers like this do piss me off a lot as well. Nowadays, as information gets easier to find, more unreliable sources pop up which makes it quite bad to trust a single source alone. Just goes to show that like how televisions were used for personal gains and agenda by the media back then, social media platforms nowadays are also experiencing the same greedy manipulation caused by the same selfishness of the capable individuals or groups. Which is why I never follow any shillers/influencers and only hear about them coincidentally. Although, I still watch sometimes but just to hear about new hypes and all so I can do my own research about how worthy are the ones being mentioned and yes, some are true but not all.

Yeah, such influencers simply love clickbait titles and other cheap tricks to attract attention. They are not interested in the truth, they just want to make money out of everyone's ignorance, but anyone who read the full story can see right through the BS.

Clickbait news is the truth of the world right now. Just be aware and read all the information yourself. The reality is that if they just make the headline something boring related to the news itself then it would not be getting that much attention. SEO changed the news world too much, the more clicks you get means the higher you will be ranked and the higher you will be ranked means that you will be getting more clicks and that is why they changed all headlines to this clickbaity stuff. Not going to really change anytime soon either because having a lot of clicks results in getting paid more and that's all they care about at the end of the course.

Any type of information that interests you for a reason, then double-checking is of the utmost importance. Doing investigations and seeking the truth from various sources is what I often do. Because swallowing the raw information that is shared will only generate a lot of doubts. Even so what you are doing is a good way and don't trust only one source. Especially when it comes to investing, where you have an obligation to know the truth factually. Think critically and always find out until you get the answer.

I got this notification from a telegram channel which I follow. It is a telegram channel of a Youtube influencer who talks about cryptocurrency in his regional language. When I checked the notification from that channel it stated
Quote
JUST IN: Goldman Sachs and Barclays have invested in Bitcoin and crypto trading platform Elwood Technologies.
Well it clearly says "invested in Bitcoin and crypto trading platform Elwood Technologies", so it means, money was invested in an "Bitcoin and crypto trading platform".
Not Bitcoin directly like it looks.

But ofcourse, it can be intended to generate more views.  Cheesy

Yeah, I understood your problem the first second that I read your first sentence of your post. Rule number 1: never believe any influencer, no matter how influencial they are. Especially when it comes to important matters like investing your money or buying a certain product/coin.

They obviously only advertise something if they get paid or otherwise renumerated for their efforts. Only trust yourself.

A lot of people keep falling for the "influencers" and their scams but see it as an expensive life lesson instead of a mistake. Next time, do your own research on whatever you want to invest in and do not listen to others.

You're right mate, most of the crypto influencers would push bullish news for people to buy.
No one watches a video that says negative about crypto, people would just love to join the FOMO if there is because they believe that Bull run is forever.

here's the reality, when the market is bull run, they hype it more, but when the market is bearish they make people optimistic.

These content creators are making money for the views, that's what click bait is.

If you don't like what that content creator has made, unsubscribe to him and never follow any of his contents anymore. He's just one of the many that keeps on doing that.

It is because the interest for cryptocurrencies, mainly for bitcoin has became huge. So, anything that they can capitalize and twist a story and just use some headlines to catch attentions of their viewers and crypto enthusiasts, they'll do it.

What do you have in mind what this influencer's motive?
Its true that there is no real update from Goldsach and Barclays Bank.

I did some googling since I have not subscribed to FT as well and found out about Alan Howard from this link and he is behind Elwood Technologies.

Quote
Howard joined fellow moguls including Peter Thiel and Louis Bacon in May to put $10bn behind a new cryptocurrency asset exchange, Block.one. He is also an investor in the Sweden-listed digital asset manager Coinshares, and crypto custodian Komainu, which is backed by Japan’s Nomura bank.

I think this is the news you are looking for.
Code:
https://en.ethereumworldnews.com/goldman-sachs-barclays-bank-invest-in-london-based-bitcoin-crypto-trading-platform-elwood-technologies/

Confirming its real is hard to know. ethereumworldnews.com doesn't look like a good source.

influencers get paid to speak. or tweak their message to whatever drama/trend gets them most noticed in the hope of getting paid due to high subscriber numbers

they are not interested in the truth, they just want to clickbait stories to get more viewers to get paid more

its like TV doctors. if your too busy being on TV selling snake oil's then your not actually being a real doctor treating real patients(dr Oz, Dr Phil, and that idiot paid by alex jones). anyone that has time to do book tours, speaking gigs at conferences and regular podcasts/vlogs is doing it for the money, not for the actual desire to speak honestly/informatively

its like this forum. anyone with adverts in their avatar or footer just want to speak BS just to get as many messages made to earn as much as they can in their campaigns.

always DYOR (do your own research) and never ROSM(Rely on Social Media)

This is why you need to do a search before believing anything promoted.
No wonder lately almost all social media, telegram, Youtube, Twitter, Facebook talk about Luna, news about Goldman Sachs and Barclays is not much different, Bitcoin investment.

We are aware, not a few who do not seek authenticity are ultimately caught in the trap of fraud, the lure of gifts and so on, for that what you said I agree, don't immediately believe the news that is going viral, it's not necessarily true that fraudsters have loopholes to take advantage of situations like that.

A little smart and careful thinking, can avoid fraud attacks.
