Potential Abstract:
Cryptocurrency has gained significant popularity in recent years, leading to a surge in online resources aimed at educating individuals about this complex and evolving technology. These resources, often in the form of mediated websites, play a crucial role in shaping public perception and understanding of cryptocurrency. This study employs a rhetorical analysis framework to examine how mediated websites present information about cryptocurrency to their audiences. Through a detailed content analysis of key websites, we aim to uncover the underlying rhetorical strategies used to convey information, influence attitudes, and promote specific narratives about cryptocurrency. By identifying and analyzing these strategies, we seek to shed light on the discursive practices employed in cryptocurrency education and their potential implications for public understanding and engagement with this emerging technology.
