🧵So I think 2020 was my best year so far as a journalist. Too bad it aligned with a terrible year for everything else. I guess it helps that I cover a world that's native to the internet 1/18
🤾♂️Here are 11 stories that I think at least touch on the big topics I was all in on this year.
First up: really a mistake'ish. I thought 2020 would be the year of blockchain interoperability. That day is coming, but I was v early. 2/18 coindesk.com/one-network-ma…
📈 Any retail investor who specifically followed my coverage closely would have been way the fuck ahead of everyone else on the DeFi boom. I was way on top of all the big moments. I've been telling you all since 2019.
We've been critical of the "governance token" language too. Sometimes we call them "growth tokens," especially early on
Because that's the real purpose in the beginning
Also agree that the "community" language is somewhat silly.
I don't know if Cronje would agree but I think it's a bit Orwellian
Before folks start in on the "exit scam" narrative about @bytemaster7 ... the man delivered the EOSIO software as promised and then stuck around two more years
Not really sure how anyone could call that a rug pull voice.com/post/@dan/resi…
Also everybody loving the current DAO renaissance should note that most folks credit Larimer (and Charles Hoskinson, also, I think) for first articulating the concept of a DAO letstalkbitcoin.com/is-bitcoin-ove…
Further, as I understand it, @block_one_ is Blumer's company, not Larimer's
So it's not @bytemaster7's responsibility to stay forever
