Citation Needed is free or pay-what-you-want because I believe everyone should be able to access critical information, regardless of whether they can afford it.
People do support high-quality reporting even when they’re not forced to, which is how I’m able to do this work full-time.
There’s a lot that goes into this beyond the weekly newsletter.
In the past year: 119 press appearances. Major media publications generally don't devote the resources or cultivate the expertise that good crypto coverage requires. I help where I can to ensure coverage is accurate and hard-hitting.
My work is cited in Congressional reports and I advise Congressional staffers.
The crypto industry spent $133 million installing pro-crypto lawmakers in 2024 and $285 million on lobbying. There is not a similarly funded effort on the other side; I do everything I can to offset that imbalance.
I maintain Web3 is Going Just Great, which documented 114 crypto disasters in the past year. https://web3isgoinggreat.com/
I run Follow the Crypto, tracking industry political spending. I’m in the process of updating it for 2026, where crypto super PACs have already raised more than double their record-breaking 2024 spending. https://www.followthecrypto.org/

Thank you for your work! Not sure if it fits exactly but I took a look at your web3isgoinggreat site again and noticed that it doesn't mention Tether's discontinued EURT stable coin. By my estimate people lost around $5 Million from that. (As not everyone holding them converted them before Tether pulled the plug)
From two people whose work I deeply admire:
@molly0xfff can i somewhere read your critique of bitcoin?

@molly0xfff a pleasure to become a subscriber.
@molly0xfff i will contribute some when I’ve got it a bit less tight. Keep up the great work in the meantime though!
