How do we know what we know?

I'm a Bitcoin holder and proponent, so when I see FUD, especially in mainstream media, my desire is to disprove it and expose it for what it is- FUD.

However, the problem arises in that my sources invariably come from pro-Bitcoin sources such as The Bitcoin Standard, Inventing Bitcoin, Andreas Aantonopolous YouTube, 99Bitcoins, Swan BTC, etc.

This raises a conflict of interest. Why should a non-believer believe what I have to say when all of my sources are Bitcoin advocates or simply YouTube channels. Of course they will say pro Bitcoin things!

Is the answer running a full node? Why should we trust the above sources to accurately describe bitcoin?

Any help with this perplexing problem would be appreciated- S

Coinmarketcap are listing BCH sites as BTC

Under here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/ They have links to https://bitcoin.com/ and https://forum.bitcoin.com/ which are no longer BTC sites; they're BCH sites. I'm not good at twitter and don't have many followers but I've tweeted at them here: https://twitter.com/bitplane/status/955918445014585344 Can we raise awareness of this and get them to change it please?

15 years of BTC Power Law

5 years ago I made a post in this subreddit showing that BTC is a power law: Price=A*days^n, (days from Genesis Block), n=5.8. Many didn't believe me and said the past doesn't predict the future. Well, after 5 years it turns out that BTC continues its power law behavior with similar exponent. A power law is not another formula or model but the same mathematical behavior behind river formation, mountains growth, cities development, GDP vs population, and metabolic rate. Everything important is ruled by power laws, so BTC. BTC is a force of Nature.
