Thought of the week from Marty Bent:
The UX is improving. The IRS is putting bounties on the Lightning Network. The Oil & Gas industry is waking up to how Bitcoin can help them be more profitable and environmentally friendly. Life is good.
Thought of the week from Matt Odell:
The critical vulnerability that was disclosed this week should be taken as a dose of humility by anyone paying attention. Fortunately no funds were lost but we are still very early.
