Welcome to The Decred Drive. Every Thursday this brief newsletter highlights top-notch Decred content and action from the previous week.

As expected, Decred is kicking off 2020 with commitment, passion, and drive. Here is this week’s spotlight action:

1. Decred in Depth with DCR LN lead Matheus Degiovani. Matheus comes to us from Brazil to provide an overview of how DCR LN works.
2. Chain Reaction Podcast with Strategy Lead Akin Sawyerr was released. This is a must listen episode — very much enjoyed it.
3. Decred is covered by Checkmate in Spencer Noon’s new publication The Network. Very nice work by Checkmate here.
4. Decred On-Chain: HODLer Conversation Rates was published by PermabullNino, a leading on-chain researcher for Decred. (Highly recommend checking out his previous research pieces as well: Decred On-Chain: A look at Block Subsidies and Decred On-Chain: The Ticket Pool VWAP”
5. a16z’s Jesse Walden, compliments and makes note of Decred’s own RichardRed0x for his work documenting and detailing the history of crypto governance at cryptocommons.cc.
6. PermabullNino also had an interesting tweet on the trading front that could prove to be a good signal for bottoming DCR Market Cap. Something to keep an eye on. Check it out here.
7. Great thread on Twitter from BlackBear XVII speaking to the adaptable nature of Decred.
8. Continued visible progress was made on DCR LN development. Definitely worth taking some time to study the progress and development here.
9. Poolin.com mining pool upgraded to Decred v1.5. Follow the upgrade here.
10. Strategy Lead Akin Sawyerr pushed back against arguments for Libra at the Digital Money Forum. Personally, I love this quote: “I’m not convinced that a council of self-interested companies can do money better than a decentralized system … the only way is to empower the individuals to have some base-level sovereignty.” That right there pretty much says it all.

Hard to believe, but this is just 1 week in the world of Decred. Onward!
