Marty's Ƀent Issue #1207: Reminder to get your bitcoin off the exchange Needless to say, as it stands today and has stood since the first bitcoin exchange was launched, your bitcoin is not safe on the exchanges.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #1059: Lightning striking where it's needed most This makes one wonder, what the hell are Western exchanges waiting for?
Marty's Ƀent Issue #1055: BitMEX adds user verifiable Proof of Reserves This is a novel way to implement a Proof of Reserves system and should raise the bar for the industry.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #930: Coins flying out of exchanges It would be a shame if big players didn't take advantage of these inherent properties of the Bitcoin network.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #888: Are multicoin exchanges attacks on Bitcoin scaling? Those exchanges who have implemented SegWit and Lightning seem to be exchanges who have a focus on Bitcoin.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #839: Signs of a mature market? The charges against BitMEX were a loud shot across the bow of the industry.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #799: Some price talk Be prepared for absolute madness and an inability to concentrate.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #712: This would be pretty cool Here's something from the bitcoin-dev mailing list that caught my eye the other day, the implementation of a private key keychain on a Coldcard wallet.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #658: That's a lot of bitcoin More individuals and institutions need to learn how to self custody.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #646: Some action on the Liquid sidechain We may be witnessing the beginning of another Tether migration from ERC20 to Liquid.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #604: Exchanges, so cold right now Tough day for the industry in the eyes of the mainstream. If anything, this highlights how early we are in all of this and how much room for improvement and competition there is.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #598: A new on-ramp emerges Escher Hub is particularly cool because the product has the goal of cutting down fiat and bitcoin settlement times while buying/selling bitcoin while increasing buy limits dramatically.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #476: The plumbing has been reinforced As the price of Bitcoin begins to climb out of the depths of the bear market, it's crazy to look back and reflect on where we were the first time prices reached these levels and how much has been built in the 18-months since.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #471: Bitfinex gets sued by New York The risk of legal action against Bitfinex has been well-known by anyone who has been observing the Bitfinex saga for long enough. It's no surprise to me that they have finally attracted the attention of some government entity.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #462: Credit creation on Bitcoin Up to this point in Bitcoin's history, exchanges have been notoriously terrible at securing peoples corns. To the point that many casual observers tend to wrongly equate terrible exchange security with the Bitcoin protocol being insecure.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #434: Give the bare minimum As Bitcoin continues to succeed massively, become more popular, and appreciate in price, the safety of Bitcoin holders should be of the utmost importance for exchanges.
Marty's Ƀent Issue #420: UX design, it's important We talk a lot about UX being a big hurdle to mass adoption. I think it's high time we start fine-tuning the already existing services, making it so the user knows exactly what is happening with their transaction or BTC in storage at any given point in time.
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).
