As usual lots to take-in this week from the continuing shenanigans of Craig Wright to JP Morgan’s clear inability to grasp the value proposition of crypto. This week I’ve highlighted Hackernoon – with all but one of the listed articles being sourced from the website. The quality of crypto/tech-related material published on Hackernoon is first rate. Each one of the articles listed below is informative, valuable and current.
Picks of the Week
