Most news coverage of the endlessly corrupt cryptocurrency "industry" -- and its endlessly corrupt enablers in finance and politics -- is wretched.

The prime exception is @molly0xfff who sweats the details and makes complex topics understandable. Read her latest newsletter:

@dangillmor @molly0xfff Does cryptocurrency harm those who don't buy it? It strikes me as a form of gambling, which ruins many lives, but not those who don't gamble.

@alison @molly0xfff It's rapidly infecting the broader financial system, making all of us vulnerable to the rampant frauds and speculation. It has thoroughly corrupted politics. There's more, but consider those for starters.

@dangillmor @molly0xfff absolutely, every one required reading … also Elizabeth Lopatto used to also cover some crypto stories well, but seems to have switched to more broad coverage lately

@dangillmor

I subscribe to and highly endorse @molly0xfff, for her commentary and expertise on #Wikipedia as well as crypto.
