Fact Check
The evidence provided strongly and consistently supports the claim that advertisements for Bitcoin were displayed in Times Square. There are multiple, independent sources from different platforms (Reddit, X, Facebook) all reporting the same event. Crucially, several sources corroborate the specific message on the billboard, "No Man Should Work for Printed Money!", which adds a layer of specific detail that makes a fabrication less likely. The Facebook post provides direct visual evidence in the form of a photograph, which is a very strong piece of corroboration. Furthermore, a cryptocurrency-focused news outlet, CCN.com, references the billboard as a significant event, lending secondary-source credibility to the primary social media sightings. While the authority of the individual social media sources is low, their collective agreement and the consistency across platforms create a compelling and coherent body of evidence. There are no contradictions among the sources. The combined weight of eyewitness accounts, photographic evidence, and secondary source confirmation makes the statement highly probable.
