Cryptocurrencies

The Sunday Recap – Down the Rabbit Hole 30

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

Hands down the most interesting article I’ve read in quite some time is ‘Crypto is the New Fiat‘ by Conceptskip. While I don’t necessarily agree with all of the points raised – each and every one is worth contemplating. I also found the Off the Chain podcast discussing a modernized take on democracy and voting very intriguing.

And again JP Morgan might be a little confused as to the value proposition of crypto:

Note on Sources:

Twitter & Reddit (cryptos current meta-brains) / Medium / Trybe / Hackernoon / Whaleshares / TIMM and so on/ YouTube / various podcasts and whatever else I stumble upon. The aim is a useful weekly aggregator of ideas rather than news. Though I try to keep the sources current – I’ll reference these articles and podcasts etc. as I encounter them – they may have been published just a couple of days ago or in some cases quite a bit earlier.
