More focus this week on reports. It seems there’s a lot of good reading on nuts-and-bolts stuff, back-door activities, and how things work under the hood. Lots of DeFi news and insights.
If you check out the What Bitcoin Did Live (from Nashville,) you’ll see that the whole plan is (very likely) to shut down the native crypto exchanges, apps, companies and services, and re-open said services to the gatekeepers of legacy finance (blackrock, banks, et al.) Bastards.
Enjoy and be well, Everyone.
