The apology was wrapped in a “sorry, not sorry” tone as FT Alphaville’s city editor said the firm still stands by “every single one of those posts.”
FT Alphaville — a daily news commentary service created by the Financial Times — has been slammed on X after issuing a spiteful apology to Bitcoiners as the asset soared to $100,000 on Dec. 5.
The op-ed — published on the same day — was seen as a tongue-in-cheek apology to those who chose not to invest in Bitcoin (BTC) since FT’s first article on June 6, 2011, when Bitcoin was trading at $15.90.
”We’re sorry if at any moment in the past 14 years you chose based on our coverage not to buy a thing whose number has gone up. It’s nice when your number goes up,” said Bryce Elder, city editor of FT’s op-ed section, Alphaville.
