Are people who instead hold USD, EUR, or CNY unbiased when writing about those currencies or BTC?
I would agree authors should disclose their participation, but I think disinterest/divestment on such matters is an unrealistic goal. Any stake or non-stake implies some personal preferences, and some personal stake is practically a prerequisite for motivating enough attention to understand and explain.
(Or as VC John Doerr has said: "No conflict, no interest".)
