Writer’s Block — The Trickiness of Going All In on Investigative Journalism

TL;DR: There’s a natural and healthy tension between journalists and their subjects. Information that’s in the public interest should be uncovered and distributed widely. But effective journalistic tactics are changing. Biting tone and opinionated commentary cuts through more quickly. Nuance is overrated in click-driven cultures, and underrated in subscriber-driven cultures…

New Messari Hires + Community Update #3

Ten questions for tomorrow’s Brad Garlinghouse AMA (cc: @CoryTV)

In case you missed it on Friday, I was critical of the positioning and promotion of an upcoming AMA session between Brad Garlinghouse and the XRP community. It felt like a hype video for a screwed up type of “not shareholders, but kinda shareholders” virtual meeting, and that rubbed me…

Messari Community Update #1

What started as an off-the-cuff call to action in mid-January — my invitation for analysts to rally around a public crypto data commons — has morphed into a full-fledged 125-member analyst community that has produced 50+ token…

Messari’s New Site + OnChainFx Acquisition: Building An Open, Independent Crypto Data Service

It’s been just six months since I stumbled through my investor rolodex with a laptop, a couple of screenshots, and some half-baked grunts about building an “open data layer” for crypto.

Two Bits with Two-Bit: My Double Session with Laura Shin

Daily Bit I’m excited to share two solid interviews that dropped yesterday on Laura Shin’s podcasts, Unconfirmed and Unchained. I usually hate listening to my own interviews (prefer the written word and the delete key that it comes with), but Laura is an excellent moderator, and a natural interviewer. First…
