Blockmanity — Last Week in Crypto
22 October 2018 | Week 43 | Cryptocurrency News
Hi everyone, We at Blockmanity are starting our weekly summary of the most trending cryptocurrency news of last week. We will also add news from other publications that are simply too good to miss.
We’ll try and keep this consistent but since it’s only Ishan Garg, Shrikar RU and I, we might miss a few things so please don’t hesitate in sharing feedback and collaborating with us… If you believe you can add value to Blockmanity, we definitely want to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
The thought behind this
At first, we wanted to start a Cryptocurrency Newsletter that we could send to our subscribers. We wanted people to read our daily mail since I also consume most of my news from Newsletters.

We concluded that we would fail if we tried to do what others have been doing.
Our Solution

We thought that if we started today with a weekly summarization of all the news, that would be much easier for us to be consistent at. We also didn’t collect emails that well so we just thought of starting on Medium. So here goes… 🚀
