A brief shoutout to CoinDesk for their CoinDesk 50 article ahead of next week’s conference.

The associated twitter thread is also worth a follow:

What started with Bitcoin 11 years ago has given rise to experiments and breakthroughs. CoinDesk 50 recognizes the most innovative, viable projects promising another internet revolution.

No podcast today

I was a bit busy recording the The Short STOry Academy lecture on the economics of bitcoin mining [1] today, so there is no news podcast. Have a look though at the “The CoinDesk 50” article [2] linked in the notes, and the associated twitter thread [3]. Good intro to the good and great of crypto. Also next week’s *Consensus: Distributed” virtual conference [4] is definitely something you should check out.
