The Weekly News Roundup, ending 21 August 2022 – The Empire Continues to Strike Back

The connected and invested parties of the legacy financial system apply obstacles.
Also, a friendly reminder that it is bear market time, so channel some of that itchy energy into education- I’ve been sharing the Tomer Strolight “Why Bitcoin, the Series” series and am republishing Andreas Antonopoulis’ “The Internet of Money.” They are short reads and listens and will do you much good to check out, if you haven’t already. ; )


Comments and suggestions, reach out -> hello @ tinycryptoblog.com

Be well, Everyone.
