The prime minister of Malta Joseph Muscat gave a historic speech at the United Nations last week. He intoned: “”Blockchain makes cryptocurrencies the inevitable future of money, more transparent since it helps filter good businesses from bad businesses.” Visionaries...

Bitcoin remains mired in an endless range-trade as we head into the 4Q18. BTC’s only about 8% off the lows of the year, so we’re hardly out of the woods yet in terms of price. Given the sudden and out-of-nowhere selling pressure that we have witnessed all year, it has...

Found this on Twitter, where even after a year much of the lingo escapes me (what’s a “BP”?): “Recently, an internal excel document from Huobi (one of the BPs) is circulating in the Chinese community. This file documents the collusion, mutual voting, and pay-offs that...

I had an awesome opportunity last night to speak at Crypto Hinsdale as a guest of Boxbit, a local team doing a shipping coin. I ran into any number of friends from the old neighborhood including my former classmate at Fenwick & IU, Tony Biancalana (pictured...

45/50 Top Coins are higher over the past 24 hours. I saw a stat earlier in the week that made my head spin. BTC rallied from $5,800 to $19,200 in 31 days last year. Of course, this is old news. But seeing it in writing gave me serious pause. (Not advice. DYOR.) In...

Ernest Hemingway once lost a suitcase with all his writings in it – and carbon copies. He remarked later that some of his finest work was lost forever. My LinkedIn posts got lost for 24 hours, and while they’re not the stuff of Hemingway, I did spend a long time on...
