The Australian Bitcoin Industry Body (ABIB) has lodged a formal protest against the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), accusing it of sensationalist and biased reporting on Bitcoin. The ABIB contends that a recent ABC segment disproportionately highlighted Bitcoin's criminal use cases, neglecting its technological advancements and legitimate applications. This portrayal, according to the ABIB, risks misleading the public and potentially influencing regulatory decisions negatively, thereby hindering cryptocurrency adoption in Australia. While ABC has acknowledged receiving the complaint, it has yet to issue a public response.
