Marty's Ƀent Issue #1248: The privacy wars have escalated The stakes have never been higher. The state is losing its grasp of control over the people and it is doubling, tripling and quadrupling down on utter incompetence and nefariousness.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #954: Bitcoin; fulfilling the vision of "Web 3.0" It's getting increasingly hard for the grifting shitcoiners to justify the existence of their tokens in a world in which Sphinx and similar apps exist.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #837: Thread on different scaling tradeoffs It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Marty's Ƀent Issue #316: Matt called it We should all be watching this closely as I believe this will be a growing trend, especially if Ethereum ever successfully transitions to PoS (I don't think that will happen).
